Description

The Super Fifty-Nine M-80 brings classic Magnatone tone and style into the modern day. Essentially a new, modified version of the famous Super Fifty Nine Mark I and Mark II models — the M-80 merges the best of those two guitar amps into one super-versatile, 45-watt, EL34-driven tone machine!

This exquisite boutique-style amplifier allows you to utilise the low-to-medium gain tones found in the Mark II, or access the extra gain stage found in the Mark I when desired. This is accessible via a switch on the front of the amp, or via the included 1-button footswitch. It also boasts a tube-buffered effects loop, as well as a highly-tweakable 4-band EQ section. And based on their customers' feedback, Magnatone's engineers have eliminated the built-in vibrato and tremolo effects to create a clear signal path for pure tonal bliss — the perfect pedal platform.

Key Features

  • Footswitchable gain stages of the MKI and MKII in a flexible package.
  • Two EL34 power tubes achieve that distinctive British voice.
  • High and low sensitivity inputs allow you to match the amplifier with mild or hot guitar pickups.
  • Master volume design with treble, middle, bass, and presence controls for precise tone-shaping.
  • Tube-buffered effects loop enables you to seamlessly integrate your favourite time-based and modulation stompboxes.
  • Included 1-Button footswitch lets you flick between two gain stages on-the-fly.
  • Developed in conjunction with Billy F. Gibbons of ZZ Top.

Amp Heads

An amp head contains the core tone and power of a guitar amplifier without the built-in speakers, allowing you to pair it with the cabinet of your choice. This setup offers greater flexibility over sound and volume, as different speaker cabinets can dramatically change the feel and character of the amp. Amp heads are available in valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, ranging from low-wattage studio models to high-powered touring rigs. They’re ideal for players who want a modular setup, precise control over their tone, and the ability to adapt their rig to different venues, cabinets, or recording situations.
