Also, Larry Cragg shows us the Kingston, a 12-watt workhorse with two 12AX7s and paired 6V6s through a 12-inch speaker, high/low inputs, Accutronics Digi-Log reverb, and line out.

Lil' Viper

The Lil’ Viper is an ultra-portable 8-watt combo designed by Slash and Magnatone Chief Engineer Obeid Khan to deliver the unmistakable Master Collection voice in a remarkably small format. Built to sound full, bold, and authoritative, it is equally at home in the studio, at home, or backstage before a show. Finished in Slash’s signature Purple Python cosmetics with gold-accented hardware and a backlit Magnatone logo, the Lil’ Viper makes a striking visual statement.
