  • they sell for $800 these days on Ebay.

    That's a score! Wow, very cool. If memory serves, just turning up the intensity knob for vibrato. I don't recall needing the footswitch; it's for shutting it off while playing, but try one just in case. Otherwise, it likely needs service. Tinkering with amps, I found the vibrato circuit looks to have an oscillator like a tremolo, but uses another tube with obscure old varistors for pitch shift. The most common issue w tremolos is 3-4 capacitors failing over half a decade.

  • I have this amp, picked it up from a thrift store for $20! Looked at it and all the tubes look like they work. When the vibrato kicks in is it because you used a foot switch?

    If not what do you think could be wrong?

  • Great amps. That's basically a Deluxe with better vibrato.

    I own 3 Magnatones. My favorite has to be the 280

  • is there any kind of drive on it?
