Stereo Tube Amplifier in a Compact Package

With the Panoramic Stereo 2 x 10-inch all-tube amplifier, Magnatone managed to put a world of vintage-style effects and tone into a conveniently sized combo for gigging, rehearsing, and recording. It sings with the highly detailed clean sounds and gritty power-tube overdrive that have made the brand so desirable. But the addition of onboard effects and two 12-watt power sections offer old-school sonic options, such as stereo pitch shifting, tremolo, and spring reverb. And the Panoramic Stereo combo puts that sound through two Jensen 10-inch speakers.

Harmonically rich and clear tones

No matter what electric guitar you put through it, the Magnatone Panoramic Stereo 2 x 10-inch all-tube combo amp will reward you with a full sound that belies the amplifier's relatively small size. At Sweetwater, we noticed the high frequencies are always present but never shrill, the mids offer plenty of body, and the low end can get astoundingly huge without ever distorting. Push the volume a bit and the amp begins to break up in a manner that is smooth and pleasing. And getting those crystal-clear clean tones is a spin of your guitar's volume knob away.

Stereo vibrato and tremolo

Along with its pristine tone, the Magnatone Panoramic Stereo combo is capable of surrounding you in ambient, swirling, modulated sound. The amp is powered by a pair of 12-watt, EL84-based power sections that can be run in mono or stereo. By dialing in the amp's onboard effect, you'll hear your sound expand into a 3-dimensional quality.

Three footswitchable onboard effects

Just like many of the drool-inducing vintage Magnatones, the Panoramic Stereo 2 x 10-inch all-tube combo amp boasts one of the most lauded pitch-shifting vibrato effects in history. With controls for intensity and speed, you can dial in everything from subtle warble to seasick tonal movement. Or switch the effect to tremolo and receive all the vintage pulse you need. The onboard reverb comes courtesy of a full-length Accutronics reverb tank. And all the effects can be controlled via the included footswitch and utilized in stereo.

  • All-tube combo amp with true stereo performance

Wonderful Amp

Best clean sound I've ever gotten out of an amp. Line outs provide a great sound for easy recording. Now I have 3 tube amps going up on reverb to cover the dent it put in my wallet. :-)
Rated 5/5

I Love It!

There's much hype, (and deservedly so may I add) surrounding a combo which is often compared to the Magnatone and that would be the Fender Vibroverb 63'. For whatever it's worth, I have both and I just prefer the overall richness, tone and flat response of the Magnatone. I'm not the worlds best guitarist by any stretch of imagination and I certainly won't be giving up my day job any time soon but I have a good appreciation for tone and what my ears tell me. I appreciate the Fender but there is something truly unique about the Magnatone and those who are into them will know exactly what I mean. I love this Magnatone amp and it will forever be my go to. - SEAL (Aecording Artist)

Clean

I have several rehearsals and a few gigs under my belt with the Pano. I feel confident that I now know it well enough to write a review. The first thing I'll say about this amp, and it's true with all the Maggies I've played, the EQ section is more dynamic in its range and curve than your standard Fender variant. You have to spend time with your guitar of choice while twisting the tone controls on this amp to understand.

This is a very clean amp. But it's not exactly "clean" in the JC or Twin Reverb category. It's super clear and defined with a hint of grit that goes where your pick attack and playing dynamics want to go. If you hit harder, it responds perfectly - but still maintains its clarity. Sloppy players will be revealed. Clean players will be rewarded. Note and string definition is just stellar.

The Pano is also much louder than every other 12-watt amp I own. If you want a ton of clean headroom in a 2x10 stereo format, this is hard to beat. It doesn't break up on its own until you're well in to the upper decibels. Honestly, that tube saturated break up occurs when it's too loud for the folks I play with. A good drive is pedal is essential for playing rock or blues. However, the vibrato is so good, I tend to leave it on more often than not and adjust controls accordingly. It does surprisingly well at adding that extra harmonic distortion that inspires you to play your best. You may be able to leave the drive pedal at home. If you're a classic country player or playing pedal steel style licks, this amp is probably all you need - for pedal steel, it's better than my Twin. (But I'm a student level steel player so buyer beware on that bit of advice.)

The reverb and AM / FM vibrato are beyond fantastic. The stereo spread certainly helps. The stereo field isn't huge like running two amps but it's full enough to take notice. If you're in the sweet spot in front of the amp, it sounds "amazing" with the vibrato pulsing. I used quotation marks because I really mean "amazing". It's truly panoramic. Just like a hi-fi system, when you leave the sweet spot, you can't detect the stereo imaging.

As a pedal platform, it's a lot of fun. I run a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo in to it at the rehearsal space and wow, pure joy. It's addictive. However, at this price point I would prefer the option of an effects loop but that's not really a thing in the 12-watt world.

Ultimately, the Pano is a very different amp, a very good one. I see no resemblance to tweeds or Princeton's as some have mentioned. I see even less resemblance to the Vox or Marshall sound even though it's an EL84 based amp. The Pano is it's own beautiful thing. It truly is a high fidelity experience. Advanced players will be rewarded.

Amazing tone that fits the room

I have a Deluxe Reverb and a Pro Sonic, I have owned Mesa Boogie, Rivera and many others. For a clean tone first, it is amazing. Rich and thick compared to the Deluxe. The Deluxe Reverb sounds like a toy next to the Magnatone.

The reverb sounds great but combined with varistor vibrato and in stereo is thick and fills the room. I can't wait to play it with a band.

Pedal friendly but not sure what pedals I want to use at this point. I threw my Archer and Protein at it and they sounded great.

Magnatone Panoramic Stereo Amp

I was actually sent this request for review over a month ago and am only writing a review now because before it was just too soon to make a good comment. I bought this amp after taking my time to review similar amps for the specific reason to own a hand built, hand wired amp. Of course, I also wanted one that sounded good as well.

Having chosen this amp, I am not disappointed with anything about it. The 'stereo' effect of the vibrato does exactly as advertised and the addition of the tremolo and reverb make this amp unique in it's style and price range . The fact that it is also a period build, retro amp is appealing to me as well. It has a '50's, early '60's look and feel about it that I really like.

This is a well thought out and built amp. There is one thing that this amp doesn't have as advertise though but, I can't call it a flaw or a complaint and that is that it didn't come with 'two Magnatone Custom 10" ceramic speakers'. It came with two Jensen C 10 R ceramic(?) speakers. Having no idea what I may be missing with the afore mentioned speakers, I'm not disappointed with the Jensen selection. The amp sounds great as is. It also maybe the Magnatone uses Jensen's for their advertised speakers anyway and very well could be the C 10 R's. Outside of that, it's a great amp. You may like it.
