Verified · 90/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Magnatone M-8 is a 1963–64 Custom Series combo, not a bare beginner's amp. Two channels, each with high- and low-gain inputs on a 7025 and its own Loudness, share a Tone control and a Mellow/Normal/Bright contour switch. A 12AU7 varistor bridge driven by a 7025 oscillator (Speed, Intensity, footswitch) gives Magnatone's pitch vibrato, a 12AU7 drives delay-line reverb, and a 12AU7 inverter feeds two 7189As.
