FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Magnatone Introduces the Starlite Reverb 10 at 2026 NAMM Show
ST. LOUIS, MO – January 22, 2026 – (GUITARpr) – Magnatone is truly proud to introduce the Starlite Reverb 10, a sweet-sounding, much-in-demand update of the original “grab and go” Starlite. This new evolution features a larger speaker, increased output, and a more lush, full sound — all still in a small footprint.
“The upgrades we designed include a 6L6 power tube for the 8 watts of Class A single-ended power and the 10-inch speaker in a slightly larger cabinet,” explains Obeid Khan, Magnatone’s Chief Engineer. “These two changes alone make a big sonic difference in tone clarity, volume, projection, and overall performance.” Khan says the amp keeps its Accutronics Digi-Log spring-style reverb, Traditional cosmetics, and compact footprint, making it “a nice little bedroom-office-study-studio amp.”
Like all Magnatone amps, the Starlite Reverb 10 is all hand-made in the USA and features one 12AX7 preamp tube and one 6L6 power tube, giving players 8 watts of Class A output through a Magnatone Custom 10” ceramic magnet speaker. Additional features include High and Low sensitivity inputs, an innovative tone control which spans “black-panel” and “tweed-era” voicings with a mid-cut below 12 o’clock, switchable negative feedback and an 8-ohm extension speaker output. Vintage-inspired Traditional Collection cosmetics highlight and accent the Starlite Reverb 10 in the same way that made the original model a true in-demand favorite.
Ted Kornblum, President and CEO of Magnatone, says, “Our customers love the Starlite’s vibe and performance of being ‘the-little-amp-that-could,’ and now it’s the ‘little-amp-that-can.’ I’m proud to say that we’ve delivered it.”
The Starlite Reverb 10 is available in 100% cotton Traditional Brown, Camel, Dark Green, and Traditional Black covering, carries a MAP of $1,899, and is available through authorized Magnatone dealers.
