Magic is in the air. It surrounds us like an invisible cloak, whispering secrets and possibilities. It is a force that can't be seen or touched, but it can be felt in the depths of our souls. Magic is everywhere, if only we open our eyes to see it. In the soft rays of the morning sun, we can witness the magic of a new day dawning. Each sunrise brings with it a sense of wonder and awe, as the world awakens from its slumber.

Magic Amplification Vibro Prince 1x12 combo - Celestion G1265

Watch this gear and we'll notify you if it becomes available again.

Magic Amps Vibro Prince is a great, may we say Princeton circuit done and voiced to perfection. Along with some cool options for speaker configuration. 1x10, 1x12 and 2x10 which we also have in along with Magics tweeds .

These amps have that classic vintage Princeton tone. To die for American cleans and great classic Fender Blackface break up when pushed.

In Mikes own words-

“The Vibro Prince is a near perfect replica of a 1967 Princeton Reverb modeled after my daughter's original 67 PR. The late Blackface and very early drip edge Silverface Princeton Reverbs were my favorite of the Princeton models. They seem to have a ballsier sound than the earlier versions. The speaker choices were also better including my favorite; the Jensen C10N. The Vibro Prince is equipped with: voltage correct Mercury Magnetics and Magnetic Components transformers, proprietary Weber/Magic C10N, Sozo Blue Molded capacitors, Sprague Atom electrolytic capacitors, CE Distmulti-section cap can, Allen Bradley Carbon Composition resistors (used where it counts), correct color-coded cloth covered wire, proprietary replica chassis, period correct reverb cables that look and sound exactly like the originals, full sized reverb pan.

New Amp Day: Magic Vibro Prince!

New Amp Day: Magic Vibro Prince!

like Princetons? Don't wanna roll the dice on a vintage one? Here ya go. This guy is KILLER.
I think the only Princeton I've played that compared was a buddy's drip-edge that had been gone over, tweaked and perfected pretty thoroughly.
I need to figure out how to make some clips for you dudes. this thing is perfect for the Minutemen-meets-Orchestre-Poly-Rythmo thing I'm working on.
It's stupidly overbuilt, Mercury Mag transformers, proprietary speaker made by Weber, all the good shit.

no, it's not, but I figured it would be cheaper and easier than buying a bunch of silverface or blackface PRs and trying to get 'em where I wanted 'em.
for better or worse, I have more money than time.
this came out of the box ready to rock! I bought used, too - didn't save much from new, but a little.

Man, it sounds TERRIFIC. Dude is going to start building versions of Deluxes and Vibroluxes as well. if the Vibro Prince doesn't cut it in a band setting, I'm definitely going to consider one of his Vibroluxes. I love my '66 Vibrolux, but get a little more hesitant to bring it out anywhere all the time.

I've tried a LOT of Princetons and clones over the years - lots of blackface and silverface PRs, a Lil' King with a 12" speaker, a Vintage Sound with a 12", a Clark Kanee Reverb, and a Vintage Sound with a 12", and one of those Alessandro PTP reworks of a PRRI.

Vibro Prince is the best sounding PR or PR-type amp I've heard that I could actually buy.

some of those blackface and drip-edge PRs are GREAT - one drip edge in particular was PERFECT. It wasn't for sale.

Lil' King sounded good, and perhaps I would have liked it better with a 10" - I generally prefer 10"s in Fender amps. A little more mids, with less highs and lows - more balanced.
The Vintage Sound amp was much the same thing. If I HAD to have just one Princeton to gig with, the VS with a 12" might be my choice. Cool amp and a good price, too.

The Alessandro was probably my least favorite, but that might have been the speaker - it was some weird Eminence, which I never like in blackface amps.

The Clark is fantastic - it hangs with the Vibro Prince, but it also costs $1000 more than the Vibro Prince.

Vibro Prince just hit the sweet spot for me with sound, quality of the build and parts, and aesthetics.
The breakup I get with the VP cranked is just what guitar should sound like to me. I think it had the nicest sounding trem of the bunch, too.
I think the speaker in this thing is a big part of it, too, and it's a proprietary speaker dude has worked on with Weber.

I also had a lot of faith in the builder - a friend has a Brit, and it's the best sounding Vox-ish amp I've ever heard, and the build was immaculate.
Despite the fact that my buddy bought the Brit second hand, the builder answered any questions my friend had and even offered to update the amp to his current specs for the cost of shipping.
I like when builders stand behind their products like that.

Magic amps.

We really are in the golden age of both guitar and amplification building. As far as I'm concerned, some of the best guitars and amplifiers I've ever played are being built right now. Even though some of these are heavily inspired by the brands that wrote the book and became iconic throughout the 50s/60s,

Having had the pleasure of playing, fixing and owning several amps from the 50s/60s (fender, marhshall, vox, gibson, you name it) as well as an innumerous amounts of boutique brands, I've lately been drawn to a small one man operation in Palos Verdes, California.

Magic amps, build a range of amplifiers, some of which are entirely inspired on reproducing old fender/vox/supro sound as if they were built today. As well as models which are a slightly different take on the signature sound of the old classics.

I've recently had the pleasure of acquiring two of these amps, A Vibro prince, a really perfect replica of a 1966 princeton reverb (of which I've had the pleasure of owning an original), and a X-brit which is basically an AC15 type amp, built with beefed up power/output stage, which really makes it sound much more like an AC30 (which I've also had the pleasure of owning an original 1964 one).

The attention to detail on the circuit specification and the cab construction are something else. The transformers are wound by Mercury Magnetics and Classictone to Mike's (magic amps owner and builder) specification. Mike uses NOS resistors and caps in the tone path but also offers non NOS versions of the amps using (SOZO caps). The chassis are custom made and true to vintage specifications. The speaker selection usually consists of eminence alessandro for blackface amps, celestion blue/cream alnicos for the vox type builds. Even the hardware is spot on (you won't find plastic RCA cables for reverb tank connections here).

But these are more than the sum of the parts, Mike really tweaks them to perfection in a way I haven't seen in other brands. The vibro prince sounds and responds just like a very healthy and broken in princeton reverb would and the same goes for the X-brit which instantly reminded me of my old 64 ac30.

Just amazingly great amps and an extremely accomodating builder. Highly recommended.

“The point is to hear something that’s musical and moves you” Margaret Glaspy on writing songs to a timer on Echo The Diamond

The guitarist on giving herself a 15-minute countdown as an effective writing tool, why riffs are not just meant to be a flex, and how she’s fallen in love with a 70s Tele Deluxe.

“I was excited to fly the flag for music that has a risk element to it,” Margaret Glaspy says, reflecting on the high-wire recording of her new record Echo The Diamond. Its 10 songs — a mix of vibrant indie-rockers and arresting ballads — were captured direct from the floor by a deliberately under-rehearsed trio, with first takes dominating the process. “It really is about depending on the drummer, the bass player and the guitar player, there’s no safety net,” she observes. “It’s very live. I wanted it to be something that could fall apart at any point.”

The drummer here is renowned jazz practitioner David King, of The Bad Plus, and the bassist is Chris Morrissey, a solo artist with similar interests who has also played with Haley Bonar, Andrew Bird, Lucius, and Ben Kweller. The guitar player, of course, is Glaspy, and to anyone familiar with her knotty 2016 debut Emotions and Math the spiky picking and loping progressions could only belong to her.

Echo The Diamond, which was tracked at Reservoir Studios in Manhattan and co-produced by Glaspy and her partner Julian Lage, is almost like documentary filmmaking when it comes to rendering each of its constituent parts. We can hear Glaspy’s hands moving across the fretboard, just as we can sense her sparring with King in real time, and it’s largely thanks to their determination to preserve the slight tension that exists right before a group of musicians get comfortable with one another. “Then, the first time you actually get the arrangement right it’s usually the take that you want to keep,” Glaspy says. “There’s an excitement to it.”

Perhaps as a result, Echo The Diamond feels like a flesh and blood work at a time when that very idea is up for discussion in a musical sense. “I think that, more and more, what I’m excited about is showing humans making music and not trying to take that out of it,” Glaspy says. “You play in your own version of time, you play in your own style, and leave your mark.”

Inhaling deeply, we take in the essence of life itself. With every breath, we fill our lungs with the oxygen that sustains us and energizes us. It is a reminder that we are alive, connected to the pulsating rhythm of the universe. Nature is a wellspring of magic. The delicate petals of a flower, the majesty of a towering tree, and the vastness of an ocean all hold a profound sense of enchantment. Yet, it is not just the grandeur of nature that captivates us. It is the intricate details, the subtle nuances that make each blade of grass unique, that truly ignite our sense of wonder. Magic is also found in human connection. The touch of a loved one, the laughter shared with friends, and the comfort of a kind word are all manifestations of this intangible force. Our ability to love, to empathize, and to understand one another is a testament to the power of human connection. It is a reminder that we are not alone in this world, that we are part of something much greater. While magic may seem elusive and intangible, it is always present if we are open to its presence. It is in the quiet moments of reflection, the stillness of a starry night, and the embrace of a loved one. It is in the small miracles that unfold around us each day, reminding us of the beauty and wonder that is inherent in the world. So, let us open ourselves up to the magic that surrounds us. Let us embrace the unknown, the mystical, and the inexplicable. For it is in these moments that we truly come alive, that we recognize our place in the vast tapestry of existence. Magic is in the air, waiting for us to discover it..
