Description

A vintage 1962 Magnatone 435 Athene piggyback amp. Originall designed as a bass amp, the 435 is extremely rare and may be the first 4x10 piggyback amp ever produced. It features a big, deep clean tone that turns into a tweed-ish grind as you move up the volume knob. A great addition to any vintage amp collection. This amp has been cleaned and tested. It is fully functional and sounds fantastic.
