2026 Magnatone Amplifiers Are Here at Chicago Music Exchange!
American Tone, Reinvented
The next chapter of Magnatone tone starts here. Chicago Music Exchange is proud to offer 2026 Magnatone Amplifiers, blending legendary American voicing, unmistakable vibrato, and modern craftsmanship. From accessible everyday workhorses to artist-driven signature amps and true point-to-point handwired designs, Magnatone’s latest lineup proves that timeless tone never stands still—and CME is your home base to grab it first.
Magnatone Kingston — The “Princeton Killer”
A true American classic with unmistakable Magnatone character, the Kingston delivers rich cleans, touch-sensitive breakup, and premium build quality at an accessible price point. Designed as a no-nonsense, everyday workhorse, the Kingston proves that exceptional tone doesn’t need shortcuts—or compromises.
Lil’ Viper — Slash’s Newest Weapon
Don’t let the size fool you. Slash’s Lil’ Viper is an 8-watt powerhouse built for bedroom volumes with full-blown attitude. It’s the hardest-hitting practice amp Magnatone has ever created, giving players a real path to Slash-approved tone—no arena required.
Point-to-Point Collection — Varsity Reverb
Magnatone returns to its roots with the Point-to-Point Collection, debuting with the all-new Varsity Reverb. Replacing the Traditional Collection version, this amp features classic point-to-point handwired craftsmanship paired with modern reliability, delivering a pure vintage feel with an unmistakable Magnatone voice.
Starlite Reverb 10 — Bigger, Fuller, Bolder
The Starlite Reverb 10 takes everything players loved about the original and turns it up. With a new 10-inch speaker, increased 8-watt output, and a larger cabinet, it delivers a fuller, more robust sound that feels bigger than its footprint.
We’ve always loved Magnatone at Chicago Music Exchange—and these latest amplifier arrivals prove why. Whether you’re chasing classic American tones, artist-inspired firepower, or meticulous handwired craftsmanship, Magnatone continues to raise the bar. Preorder your next amp today and experience why Magnatone remains one of our all-time favorites.
