Well done. Magnatone kills it. So much more clarity. It’s always a matter of preferences and taste, but that is a phenomenal amp. And you will pay for that sound. Wow. Thank you!
Finally an amp comparison that gives a good quality “in the room” feel. Well done. Listening with headphones, I felt like I was sat right there. Beautiful amps.
It’s the speaker making a big difference yet the magnatones always seem very bright to me, still great but different thinner sounding than the deluxe. I always prefer a fuller round sound. Both great. Excellent job!
I've got a Magnatone Panoramic Stereo (2016) that has the lovely Vibrato and Reverb and the 10W Lyric (2014). They are great, lush sounding amps. I like your comparison.
Great video. I have a 57 (love that amp) but wouldn't mind having one of these Magnatones alongside it for the extra volume whilst keeping that tweed sounding break up.
Not owning either one of these I can't comment from personal experience and I don't know if the Deluxe is even loud enough to gig with a quiet drummer but I have to say, when you plug into the Magnatone it's like - man that's a great sound. Then you plug into the Deluxe and I melt. It's the same on every shootout I've seen that involves a Deluxe. That tone! I don't even miss the reverb. I have to get one. I know the word 'loud' is subjective but set on 3 is it pretty loud in the room? It seems like 3 seems to be the sweet spot on Deluxe's before they start getting really gainy. Great playing too.
Both amps sound damn good but I’m partial to low watt Fenders, so ‘57 Tweed Deluxe for me! Would love to hear a Magnatone Super 15 in this comparison too! 🤟🏼🤟🏼
The amps gets pretty loud. I’d say at about 40% volume it starts overdriving and it’s very nice. Amp is great with klon style pedal pushes it perfectly for leads!
If you only going to own 1 Amp then get the Fender Deluxe Tweed. But yo have to have a Magnatone. The rest of the amp world can bow to the amps. I own both.
