Slash Collection
Lil' Viper
Introducing the Lil’ Viper. A Big Amp in a Little Box. The smallest amp in the Slash Collection.
Designed in Collaboration with Slash
The Lil’ Viper was developed in collaboration with Slash, designed to deliver the feel and response he wanted in a compact Magnatone format. The circuit reflects that direction while maintaining the detail and touch sensitivity you expect from a Magnatone. A built-in headphone output allows the amplifier to be used for silent practice without sacrificing its core tonal character, making the Lil’ Viper equally suited for stage use, studio sessions, or late-night playing at home.
A Big Amp in a Little Box
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.
Inside, the Lil’ Viper is built like a true performance amplifier. A single 12AX7 preamp tube and a matched pair of NOS 6AQ5 power tubes deliver 8 watts of push-pull Class AB output through a Magnatone Custom 8-inch ceramic speaker. A High and Low gain switch provides two distinct voicings, ranging from classic, slightly broken-up tones to a more saturated and aggressive response. The tone control is voiced to add high-end clarity while tightening the low end as it is turned up.
Designed for real-world flexibility, the Lil’ Viper includes a speaker-emulated 1/4-inch headphone output that mutes the internal speaker, along with a 1/8-inch line input for playing with backing tracks. Hand-built in the USA, the Lil’ Viper delivers big-amp authority in Magnatone’s most compact Slash combo to date.
