Back Wall Amps - Mike Campbell's Vintage Magnatone

[@ryno9677]

First off, A+ wife move there. Second of all, Mike Campbell is absolutely the raddest dude. Congrats man! Dream get.

[@guitarjonathan]

Thanks!

[@Peavey02]

Very cool!

[@MusicdocMT]

Congratulations on your acquisition ..... oh my my oh hell yes !!!!!!!

[@upto1175]

I'm so happy for you, what a once in a lifetime piece of gear. Now you need to get Mike on the channel!

[@guitarjonathan]

I’d lose my mind! 😂

[@upto1175]

@@guitarjonathan So would I! He's always been one of my guitar heroes. The epitome of always playing to the song.

[@JiminTennessee]

Anytime a story is associated with something like this is just makes it more fun to play - as well as increasing the cool factor. The slide playing sounds brilliant on that amp!!

[@guitarjonathan]

Agreed and thanks!!

[@MrKaufmana1]

I was amazed at the affordable prices of his stuff. I was tempted by a few things, but held off. I'm REALLY happy this piece went to a good place, and to someone who will love it, appreciate it and use it.

[@guitarjonathan]

Thank you, Allan!

[@AndyDion]

Saw this on Jonathan’s channel Major props to Jonathan’s wife for gifting this to him Sounds killer with Jonathan playing

[@guitarjonathan]

Thanks, Andy!

[@andrewhess2978]

I saw this on Reverb and was tempted. He’s not kidding folks, that was a decent price. Cool purchase by the wife.

[@davidarich2]

1400 bucks shipped you can’t beat that deal! The wife did damn good on that. I’m still wondering what the other two random options were that she was gonna buy.

[@paulcowart3174]

Very cool Congrats 👍

[@andrewsrea]

May your Magnitone bring you years of enjoyment and thanks for sharing a great story. Your wife is indeed thoughtful and caring (don't forget to reply in kind!). I have a couple awesome amps, but the one among them that players covet is my genuine 1964 Fender Vibroverb w/ 15" JBL D140F speaker. It is one of the early AA763 units, completed January 1964. Sings like a bird. More tweed sounding that SRV's highly modified Viborverbs and is still in great shape for a well played amp. No celebrity owned equipment, though.

[@brettgl21]

I like the sound more every time I hear it. Still so stoked for you!

[@thislittleamp]

That’s an amp for life right there! Happy for you dude

[@guitarjonathan]

Thank you!!

[@alexwoolridge94aw]

That amp is just cool. Sounds so good. Congrats man. Your wife is a class act. Only really old amps I own are a couple of bell and howell filmosound 385s I converted to guitar use. A 1957 and a 1958. I suppose my 1983 JCM800 2203 is vintage now too though. Just picked up a Magnatone super 15 head and im a believer in Magnatone for sure now. Great amp!

[@Megarobotsquadron]

dang, that thing sounds great.

[@s2seltaeb]

Congratulations! Mike Campbell is amazing. One of my heroes as well. Wednesday morning was nerve-wracking… it felt like buying concert tickets. You had to have the “command center” setup and ready to go. Your wife did well to snag anything! Items were going very fast. Nice job with the playing, too!

[@guitarjonathan]

Thank you!

[@johnc.4625]

It was awesome. Picked up a guitar that day. Great channel man.

[@guitarjonathan]

Sweet!! And thank you!

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

Jon, Campbell is one of those guys that come in low and slow. You don’t realize how good the guy is until way later when you see the body of work he’s had! Very cool wife you have there! Great video too!

[@30smsuperstrat]

Beyond cool! That is Love. Congratulations on finding your wife, way back when! Makes all the other things trivial.

[@guitarjonathan]

Absolute truth right there! Thanks!

[@patrickwhite3362]

Now that tele is really loved on

[@mulemusic]

Really happy for you Johnathan! I think the amp, and ESPECIALLY your wife are keepers!!

[@bobbyglass7214]

I enjoy the Casino guitar guitar videos. Keep them coming!,,,,

[@patmillen9162]

Mike Campbell I think is a player whose found a perfect spot between clean and dirty for his tone... you'd think the amps he uses would play a pretty major part in that.. so what an exciting item to get!

[@blues62751]

Great playing Jonathan ! 👍🎸

[@guitarjonathan]

Thank you Stu!

[@nevermorehollows]

Been a lifelong fan of Mike. Seems like a cool guy in interviews. What a cool story! And the amp sounds great! Of course it would…

[@hkguitar1984]

Very cool amp, congrats. One of my favorite Musicians gifted me a 1947 Magnatone Troubadour M-192-5. This amplifier’s 13W with a single field-effect 12” Speaker sounds fantastic and is in the sweet-spot as far as power/volume is concerned.

[@craigdockstader502]

Mike Campbell is a stud! The Heartbreakers are super influential to me and my playing style. Great video bro!

[@bobbyglass7214]

You r surely blessed!

[@Running_towards_adventure]

So cool man, everything from the amp, band, awesome tele, and your playing!!

[@guitarjonathan]

Thank you!!

[@willholt100]

Last year I bought my first ever properly vintage piece of gear, a Magnatone 210 from 1959. It has the form factor like the reissues, Magnatone on the front metal panel, rear slanted control panel, brown tolex with a chevron, 8" Alnico speaker, 5 Watt single ended 6V6, Volume and tone with the pitch shifting vibrato. Similar to the new Stalight but with Vibrato. It is absolutely amazing, and I had been keeping my eye on the Starlight resissue, I got mine for a couple hundred £'s less than the reissue. One of those things that I just fell lucky with, particularly finding an amp like that in the UK. Extremely rare over here. Your's sounds killer. Congratulations.

[@brrblack497]

My favorite sideman guitarist , such a cool character. Second favorite sideman guitarist Sid McGinnis from the David Letterman show . An amp only a skilled musician like you can appreciate .

[@zeeb0w]

dude!!! your wife is awesome jonathan, that adds an extra cool element to this amp story. don’t sell this one!!!

[@matthewcasey892]

Definitely cool! Sounds great! Congratulations

[@bakaroo23]

[@guitarjonathan]

Thanks Dave!!

[@jeremiahallender1919]

So nice 😊 !great playing Jonathan

[@jackcanada6082]

Have a M10 and a M15, great amps, enjoy! Just be careful, the top black plastic tends to crack. Output tubes are hard to come by and the secret safety switch when you pull the chassis for service. Glad you're enjoying it. And you need to add a link to your channel.

[@guitarjonathan]

Thanks so much for the tips! I’ll get Derrick to add the link to the description, but in the meantime here it is: kzbin.info

[@theelectrodefunhouse4651]

I have a Yamaha PG-1 preamp that the seller mentioned belonged to the guitarist of Kool and the Gang. Not a super vintage Magnatone but I dig those old Yamaha SS pre’s.

[@butchsguitarsgear520]

Jonathan that was awesome not everybody is blessed with a very foreseen wife not many would have took it up on their self to actually recognize and then buy something from your guitar hero catalog I'm sure everybody's got one of those catalogs I Kno I do EVH was, is , and always will be but not everybody has the ability to be able to afford something like that, but on the other hand this should be an every weekend thing titled .. ( come join us on Saturdays with Jonathan on Jonathan's weekend jam or jam with Jonathan on the weekend) and make it a live stream like a q&a questions about the shop different guitars at the shop different things that are shop available just an idea but I love when you do these

[@guitarjonathan]

Not a bad idea! Thanks for watching!

[@StudioHall-yr2iq]

Good job on scoring the Magnatone! It has a great tone for sure and I can fully understand the sense of pride and happiness in owning it as I was able to pick up a couple of things from the Mike Campbell Reverb Shop myself (and also because of the support/full understanding approval of the wife!) The prize piece for me being his Les Paul Custom Lite that he had up for sale. I have found multiple pics and videos of him using that actual guitar on stage with the Dirty Knobs where the patterns in the mother of pearl inlays and cracks in the knobs are clearly visible.

[@yadakc]

Way to go Jonathan!! Nice score, and awesome wife! Enjoy that amp! Peace, Keith in ?

[@glenkepic3208]

Gotta jump in at "Alright...." me, friend gets a Magnatone 1 12 two knob amp and an Audition 'jag' alike for Christmas. ''66 or so. I had been given acoustics but wanted THAT. He traded this for a mini bike. '75, see a little 1 12 amp, A Magnatone, Estey era. Tubes, $75.00 with the cover. Bought a '75 HT Strat and with a red script Big Muff and Cry Baby, could scream along with my fave Trower, UFO or Thin Lizzy tunes. Move in '80, sold everything. Got on the horse just over a year later. Thing is, i never saw an amp like that again ! Black front facing control panel, Semi oval side panels with a white grille cloth and squiggle black paint. Sure, coudn't hang with a drummer, but the best at home or mic'd amp ever. yes reverb and Vibro.

[@mojo6778]

Great sounding rig and such a cool history to go with it. About 5 years ago I picked up a Peavey USA Generation - Hummingbird Jeff Cook Invitation guitar, just to have a little piece of history, of course it is not a one off, but was a very limited run just for his bass tournament fundraiser.

[@guitarjonathan]

Very cool!

[@Shiloh7377]

Jonathan you rock dood. I would be hella excited to if I could own one of my heros guitars or amps. Sounds like you have a kick ass wife to my friend. Hope u are well and everyone is good.....

His channel is Jonathan Robinson guitars, and I hope that thumbs down was an accident!! Peace

[@charlesbolton8471]

If you are using the Reverb app it is very hard (if not impossible) to search for a specific shop. The only way I have found to search a specific shop on the app is if you have actually purchased something from that shop then you just pull up your purchase history. There used to be a way to search shops that you already follow on the app, but that functionality appears to have been removed recently. On the website it is much easier to search for specific, and the search will pull up every shop with a specific word in its name. The day that Mike’s shop went live I pulled it up by search shops with the word “Official” in the name. The crazy thing is I signed up for email notification for when the shop went and should have been following the shop from that point with all of the listings showing up in my feed as soon as it went live. That did not happen, and it hasn’t happened for the last few celebrity shops. It should also be noted that the search will only pull up shops that currently have active listings. In the past, Reverb used to keep celebrity artist shops up even after the gear had all been sold. They don’t anymore. Edit: I shave seen several Magnatone KZbin videos that get a lot of hate in the comments because Ted Nugent apparently uses them. The thumbs down might be from the fools who hate Magnatone because they hate Ted. Personally, I’m no fan of Ted’s music, his politics, or his lifestyle, but I love a great amp company regardless of who uses or doesn’t use them.

[@guitarjonathan]

Here’s my channel: kzbin.info Thanks for asking! If you go on Mike Campbell’s Facebook page he has links to his shop. And the thumbs down, well, I imagine if we cured cancer live on KZbin we’d probably still get a few 😂
