About this amp
The Varsity Reverb is part of Magnatone’s Point-to-Point Collection, a 15-watt push-pull EL84 amp with dual 12AX7 preamp tubes for classic American warmth and clarity. A tube-driven long-pan reverb built from four counterwound springs adds spacious depth without overwhelming the core tone, in a small-format combo built for stage, studio, or bedroom use.
