Magnatone – the brand who stepped into the limelight earlier this year with Slash – is back with the brand new Baby M-80 combo created with ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons.
“Gibbons worked with Magnatone to perfect this amp’s small size and gain structure,” said Magnatone. “In keeping with Billy’s directive to ‘retain the gain or feel the pain,’ this little gem of an amp delivers a big tone in a compact size.”
The Baby M-80 offers 12 watts of power courtesy of a dual NOS 6AQ5/6005 power section and a trio of 12AX7 tubes in the preamp section. The Baby M-80 is controlled by a Master Volume control, 2-band EQ, Gain knob, and versatile Hi/Lo gain modes. Better yet, the Baby M-80 also gives players a tube-buffered FX loop directly on the front panel and a punchy 10-inch ceramic speaker courtesy of Warehouse Guitar Speakers.
The Baby M-80 is available here for $1,849.
