The Magnatone 260A is a gigging-capable combo from the early 1960s featuring a higher-powered push-pull output stage and the company's celebrated true pitch-vibrato effect. The 260A was among the more powerful offerings in the Magnatone line and could hold its own in small-to-medium venue situations. Its varistor-driven vibrato circuit is among the most fully realized expressions of the technology.
