Magnatone Twilighter 22W 1x12 Combo
Magnatone · amplifier
The Magnatone Twilighter is a 22-watt 1x12 combo carrying the company's pitch-shifting vibrato, the genuinely pitch-varying effect Magnatone patented in the 1950s and which distinguishes it from the amplitude tremolo most amplifiers label as vibrato. At 22 watts in a single-twelve cabinet it is a practical club and studio amp. Against the Stereo version in the same line it runs a single channel, so the vibrato moves in pitch but not across the stereo field. It suits blues, roots and indie players who want that vibrato in a one-piece amp.
