Late 50's/early 60's Pac-Amp...Made by Magnatone...same as the Maggie 260 model...it has 2 channels, but I only have channel 1 hooked up...it was dead when i got it (had to put in a new power trannie, do a full cap job, clean and rewire)...2 5881's for output...probably in the 35 watt area...plenty for what i do...garage and roots rock...play clubs and this has plenty of power for that.
Features...not many, but when one of them is the Magnatone Vibrato, it gets a 10! what other features do you need...? it has volume...and vibrato :)
line out for ex. speaker
Sound Quality
:
10
mostly fenders...jazzmaster, tele, mustang and a harmony h-72...all sound different and great with this...rich, wonderful bottom...clear highs...and the vibrato is sublime...i like to use it for its clean country tones, then use an A/B swicth to my Airline (like a fender deluxe with 2 6v6's) for solos...and breakup
Reliability
:
No Opinion
well, it was dead when i got it...then i had a lot of troubleshooting to do...but it's almost 50 and it's kicking.

Overall Rating
:
10
been playing 20+ years...own lots of other gear...several amps, and this is my main one and my favorite...
what's to hate about a maggie 260?
wish it had reverb, but you can add that...and it sounds great without, so...hey, it's a keeper.
i'll buy another...if anyone has a dead one, let me know...
