New Slash Magnatone Specs/Details- UPDATE- NAMM video

[jeffb]

It's a great looking amp. How much do I owe for looking?


I too can't wait to read about NAD with this one. Somebody got status money burning a whole in a pocket? Think of all the oohs and aws?

Peach will have a killer demo when the time comes

What would that 5-Pin connector in the back be used for?

 

[Lo-Tek]

Maybe it's not much for the 1%...and I'm not talking about the Hell's Angel's, Mongels, or any other MC club.

No disrespect intended to any MC dudes.

I would think in this economy it would be hard too offload without taking a significant loss.

Just saying- a Kemper rig might be 3K. How much is a Two-Rock or something like that?
Modern era Magnatone's are expensive to start with..that's their market.

The economy is a real mixed bag these days; consumer spending was high last month. Some people are doing good and it's not just the top 1%. Plus- hey! put it on credit. lol

I won't be buying one and I do think it's inflated for Slash's name but it will probably sell.
Resale? We'll see.They do seem to hold value though.

You can get a Kemper for $1500 or less these days. Two Rock new is still under $4000 for most. I agree that Magnatone is a high end market. Their armps are fantastic! If you ever get a chance check out the M-80, Super 50, Super 15 for gnarly crunch, or of course the Twilighter. Sublime.

The economy sucks - flat out. US credit debt is at an all time high...and the interest rates are morbid.

I'm sure they will sell to a specific market - people above my pay grade. And good for them! I doubt the resale is going to be anywhere near retail - but in the future who knows? I know I'd like to have more money for fun instead of just groceries, gas, medical, and mortgage. Even then 5K is a big ask of the wife LOL

Well, I don't want to derail with economy talk. I stand by my statement it's a mixed bag.
My wife works in retail management- people are spending lots on discretionary purchases.

The price I was remembering was from the modeler thread the other day- 3K for Axe FX and foot controller. Plus then you need monitor too.

We're just working class but we don't splurge much. If I really wanted it I would buy it. Anything abouve 2-3k though my frugality kicks in..."do I really need it?"...lol
Resale is hard to predict- sometimes good gear fares well and can even appreciate of course.

The Magnatone logos on the amp AND the cabs light up- that's the hookup cable.

 

[Sustainium]

I would rather have this for the $$$.

Credit card debt is a rock solid investment opportunity. Getting an ROI on John Q's 27% rate, Whats not to like?

oh jeez, people actually do this?
I'm glad they only made about 100 of these because I don't think they'll sell well. No offense to them.

 

[StrummerJoe]

Well shit...the logo lights up.


I'm in!

 

[solarburn]

After the gig...

Well boyz, I lit that place up again! Shoulda been there.

Oh sure Bob, you turned your amp lights on again. Whoopee!!!

 

[Gutch220]

For $4,000+ I could buy a spectacular stage rig with real amps, and modelers/IR for the PA

 

[Edgar Frog]

 

[Stephen Keller]

Maggies were famous for their pitch-bending vibrato and some interesting output topologies. I reckon this thing brings none of those sorts of features to the table. Meh.

 

[EndGame00]

It's the same MSRP, as any of the Wizard amps out there....

 

[rockgod212]

obeid kahn built this amp so i bet it is closer to the real AFD amp, just my speculation though.

 

[Jethro Rocker]

Was gonna say take Slash name off it but then the price would go UP!!

 

[keiffer76]

Who cares! 4k just because slash's name on it. No way!

 

[Brockmanah]

Unsure if posted yet , but Sweetwater has their page up for it

Linky

Think there is a demo video on the page too.

A 2700$ plywood speaker box with an LED logo? LoL. Not me.
