Description

1962 Magnatone 480 with Original Magnatone Cover
Magnatone
High Fidelity Stereo Custom 480 was a true stereo amplifier. There are two input channels, and two separate output power amp systems, each consisting of a 12AU7 phase inverter, 2 6973 output tubes, a output transformer, and a 12" speaker pair. Unlike a Ampeg Super Echo Twin, where the signals for an input is dedicated to the signal of the output (i.e. Channel No.1 to Output No.1, and Channel No.2 to Output No.2), the 480 mixes the two input channels to each of the output channels via the stereo vibrato circuit. It is truly a magnificent circuit.
The vibrato is the super lush stereo vibrato that is the hallmark of the Magnatone amp. Being Magnatone's
cadillac amp
, the vibrato uses 8 varistors, a 6CG7, and a 12DW7, and a 12BH7.
Buddy Holly was one of many users of Magnatone amps.
The 480 was top of the line, most feature rich amplifier manufactured by Magnatone in the new 1961-1963 Estey era.
