1950′s Vintage Magnatone Starlet HOT RODDED Tweed Champ Tube Electric Guitar Amp




Check out this mid 50′s Magnatone Starlet amp that I hot rodded into a Fender narrow panel tweed champ! Originally the starlet is an ACDC amp with no power transformer. These typically sound kinda weak, SO I gutted the circuit and added a vintage new old stock stancor power transformer from the 50′s, kept the original speaker and output transformer and built a narrow panel 5f1 champ circuit inside! The results is a super hot rodded maggy! TONS of hot gain and sounds fantastic with every single guitar. Great for low output guitars too like a kay thin twin etc because it has so much gain! The video I made with les paul is only on 3! Grounded cable ALL new caps and resistors. Original cab is in fantastic shape and even has most the original waterslide decal on the front. I have never seen a starlet in this nice of shape. Lots of natural wear and tear. Original button alnico speaker that works great but I cannot promise how long it will uphold if you abuse the amp with pedals or put a metal guitar through it. Watch the video and see how awesome it sounds! This is a killer piece!
