Halo Guitars shares with us the build of their AshCourt model reviewed this month.
Magnatone showed us three killer amps that have their own flair. The 1x8 Starlite Reverb is still the single-ended 5W combo with a single 6V6 & 12AX7 that can bark between a black-panel and tweed, but now it includes Accutronics Digi-Log reverb that has optimized gain stages ensure the reverb seamlessly integrates with the ampās natural sound, preserving the true classic tone of Magnatone amps.
Next we saw Billy Gibbons Magnatone Super Fifteen amplifier that is dressed to kill in its new chrome grape wrap that is uses a multi-step finishing process starting with 100% cotton fabric, a silver crocodile texture is embossed as an undercoat and then hand-tinted to Billyās āChrome Grapeā taste using a nitro celluloid finish.
Last, we checked in with the latest update to Slash's Super Fifty-Nine M-80 that now matches its namesake's swagger level being draped in a purple python finish.

Their three scene modes switching between different amp tones in real-time.
The Drive Core Deluxe MKII still has a 100-percent pure analog circuit, but now it's stocked with eight distinct TS-style sounds. Another new (and impressive) tone tweak is the post-boost function (engaged by holding down the footswitch) that gives your signal a 7dB kick in the pants!
