With all the Magnatone amplifiers we now have on offer, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus dropped into the shop to give each amplifier a go with his signature Gretsch G6136T-RF Falcon! Although, Fortus favors the Magnatone Twilighter 22W 1×12” combo on just about any stage, the brand that pioneered stereo guitar amplification and true pitch-shifting vibrato in 1957 has also reintroduced the exclusive varistor pitch-shift vibrato concept n a smaller package with the Panoramic Stereo 12/12W 2×10” combo amplifier. Plus, check out the new flagship Super Fifty-Nine heads and extension cabs in limited edition gold, now available at CME. Or, if you’re looking to fill a medium-sized club, Magnatone’s powerful, yet, portable Super Fifteen valve amps boast the sparkle, chime, and gain of legendary EL-84 powered amps from across the pond—and now they’re available in CME Exclusive White Elephant and Black Elephant editions! Hear them here, then come try all the Magnatone amplifiers in-store now at CME!

My favorite guitar player
Fortus is such a cool guy and great guitar player, a real hero of mine! thanks for this!
Love Richard's playing and tone. His live guitar/amp tone is really superb.
The best guitar my favorite
Never heard of the guy and a Gretch into magnatone is the furthest from my tone but sounded good.
Did a double take. Thought it was Steve Perry circa ‘83. Running a Gretsch into a magnatone like Billy Gibbons.
Richard Fortus is low key better than Slash.
Slash looks very different these days…
THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

Amazing player!
Wait, that's not Steve Perry?
Love Richard's playing!
What overdrive pedal was he using with the Twilighter? Such an amazing amp!
Terrific video…
Steve Perry playing that picker, Schon better watch out. Haha
Richard es un maquina, el amp suena buenísimo, genial entrevista, gracias.
Richard is an absolute legend. Love his playing and attack.
Applying for the Stones guitar spot? Surprising jangly sounds from a hard rock guitarist. I like 👍🏼
Don’t even like anything GnR since I was a teen.. but always love seeing and hearing Richard Fortus share. Such a class act.
Wish I could spend a season learning from someone like Fortus.
