15-watt Head That's Big on British Tone
From gigging to recording, chime to dime, the Magnatone Super Fifteen MKII from Sweetwater whispers and screams with golden-era British authority — its 12AX7 and EL84 tube complement take you from full-bodied cleans to brawny British crunch and beyond with the twist of a dial. This handwired head is packed with modern player features, including a tube-safe speaker-emulated output for silent recording and practice; high- and low-gain inputs to favor all tastes and pickups; and an FX return for total flexibility when it comes to positioning your pedals.

Plug-and-play gain options
If you're into pushing tubes, the Magnatone Super Fifteen MKII makes an excellent plug-and-play guitar platform. No pedals are required to coax this amp into breakup; independent gain and master volume controls allow you to prime your preamp and pummel your power section for rich Class AB tube breakup, all without punishing your eardrums.
Mighty onstage — handy in the studio
Don't let the Super Fifteen MKII's rating fool you — this amp screams onstage. Its 15 all-tube watts can capably cover a drummer for club gigs. What's more, speaker-emulated line and headphone outs give you options for silent practice, monitoring, and tracking.
American-made attention to detail
Just like their American namesake, today's Magnatone amps and cabs are built by hand right here in the USA. From their handwired circuits to their Rolls Royce convertible-top covers, you won't find a single component in a Magnatone amp that's anything less than stellar.
Magnatone: a slice of rock history
Magnatone first began producing electric guitars and amplifiers in the late 1930s. By the '50s and '60s, Magnatone amps had become highly sought after, largely because of their distinctive pitch-shifting vibrato effect, which was responsible for the "watery" guitar sounds you hear on Buddy Holly and early Bo Diddley recordings. By 2013, the company entered into a new phase of its evolution, creating a new and improved line of boutique guitar amplifiers that have been embraced by such guitar luminaries as Jeff Beck and Billy Gibbons.
