Designed in Collaboration with Slash
The Purple Python cosmetic was designed in collaboration with Slash, drawing from his personal stage aesthetic and sense of detail. Hand-selected black and deep-purple snakeskin tolex, gold piping, and coordinated hardware create a finish that is bold without excess. A gold-anodized faceplate with Slash’s Skully emblem completes the design, carrying a unified visual identity across the Super Fifty-Nine M-80 and Baby M-80 while leaving each amplifier’s original circuit design untouched.
Slash Signature SL-100 Purple Python Edition
Building on the success of the SL-100 LTD and Blackout Editions, the Slash Signature SL-100 Purple Python Edition represents the most powerful amplifier Magnatone has ever built. Wrapped in Slash’s striking Purple Python cosmetic, the SL-100 retains the same hand-built construction, premium components, and uncompromising performance that define his signature amplifier.
Like every amplifier in Magnatone’s Master and Traditional Collections, the SL-100 is an all-tube design crafted in the USA. From transformers and hardwood cabinets to handles and final assembly, major components are sourced domestically to ensure long-term reliability and the unmistakable Magnatone sound.
Developed in close collaboration with Slash and engineer Obeid Khan, the SL-100 delivers 100 watts of commanding power with exceptional clarity and control. Driven by four EL34 power tubes and a preamp built around four 12AX7/ECC83 tubes, the amplifier offers two gain voices, LO and HI, switchable via a front-panel control or the included footswitch. The result is an amp capable of everything from articulate cleans to crushing saturation, with the headroom and punch required for the largest stages.
The Purple Python Edition is available alongside a matching 4×12 cabinet loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, engineered to handle the SL-100’s power and deliver the focused, aggressive response Slash relies on both live and in the studio.
