Magnatone Welcomes Larry Cragg and Obeid Khan to 2026 NAMM Show
ST. LOUIS, MO – January 15, 2026 – (GUITARpr) – Magnatone is excited to announce that Larry Cragg, longtime guitar tech for Neil Young, will be a guest of the company at The 2026 NAMM Show from January 22–25. Larry’s deep understanding of classic American tone, along with his decades of hands-on experience have been instrumental in voicing the development of Magnatone’s Traditional Collection of amplifiers.
Obeid Khan, Magnatone’s Chief Engineer and tube-amp guru, with a long-established reputation for engineering excellence, will also be attending The NAMM Show. Widely regarded as one of the industry’s premier tube-amplifier designers and engineers, Khan has guided Magnatone’s product development since its resurrection in 2007. Obeid will be at NAMM to oversee the launch and release of four new Magnatone amplifiers, all hand-wired and made in the USA.
Both Larry Cragg and Obeid Khan will be at the Magnatone Booth #5237 in Hall D throughout The NAMM Show to answer questions, offer demonstrations, and provide “amp talk” about Magnatone’s Traditional, Master, and Point-to-Point Collections.
