Magnatone Launches New Point-to-Point Collection with Varsity Reverb at the 2026 NAMM Show

ST. LOUIS, MO - January 22, 2026 – Magnatone is excited to announce its new Point-to-Point Collection, a limited-edition of hand-built amplifiers, made in the USA, featuring vintage-styling and point-to-point hand wiring and limited to a quantity of 50 units worldwide.

The Collection launches with the Varsity Reverb, now featuring point-to-point craftsmanship, and replaces the Traditional Collection version.

Each amp is meticulously hand-built in small batches using true point-to-point wiring technique that’s expertly made by Magnatone’s master builders.

“While all Magnatone amps are truly hand-built and made in the USA, the Varsity Reverb represents a return to old-school craftsmanship and artistry,” says Obeid Khan, Magnatone’s Chief Engineer.

Designed for professional musicians, the Varsity Reverb delivers exceptional clarity, depth and touch sensitivity. Its Class A circuitry provides rich harmonic detail and responsiveness for players seeking amazing tone and superb build quality in a single amplifier.

The Varsity Reverb has already seen rugged, real-world use with some of today’s most respected guitarists. Charlie Sexton says, “I’ve used this amp on the road for years and it sounds as good as it looks.” Jeff Beck, Kenny Greenberg, and Sam Morrow have used this amp on tour and in the studio.

Ted Kornblum, President & CEO of Magnatone, says, “The quality and attention to detail in this model have never been higher, and we’re proud to showcase the craft of point-to-point amp building.”

The Varsity Reverb features 15 watts of Class A power, driven by two 12AX7 pre-amp tubes, one 12DW7 tube, two EL84 power tubes, and a GZ34 rectifier tube, and paired with a Magnatone Custom 12” ceramic magnet speaker. Additional features include authentic tube-driven long-pan reverb (footswitchable) with four counter-wound springs, high and low sensitivity inputs, and a feedback boost switch. The amp features 100% cotton Cathedral Black or Cathedral Burgundy covering, with a hand-tooled saddle-leather handle.

The Magnatone Varsity Reverb in the Point-to-Point Collection carries a MAP of $3,299. Quantities are limited. Contact an authorized Magnatone dealer.
