The Magnatone 262 is a higher-power variant of the early-1960s gigging line, sharing the 260 chassis with incremental output and tonal improvements. It offers a full, resonant clean tone with excellent note separation and the trademark pitch-wobble vibrato that defined Magnatone's identity. The 262 is considered one of the sweeter-sounding models in the lineup.
