Magnatone · amplifier
The Magnatone Twilighter Stereo is a 22-watt head running the Twilighter circuit in stereo, which is the feature that distinguishes it within the line. Magnatone built its reputation on genuine pitch-shifting vibrato, an effect that varies pitch rather than amplitude and which the company patented in the 1950s, and running that vibrato across two amplified channels produces a spatial movement a mono amp cannot. It suits players who want Magnatone vibrato as a defining part of their sound rather than an occasional effect.
