About this amp
The Kingston is a new addition to Magnatone’s Traditional Collection, hand-built in the USA with a pair of 6V6 power tubes producing a creamy, bouncy 12-watt clean voice. Developed with guitar tech Larry Cragg, it keeps the control set simple - Volume, Treble, Bass, and Reverb - with Digi-Log spring-style reverb that can be switched on and off via footswitch, plus an external speaker output and 1/4-inch line out.
