Twilighter 112 1x12" 22-watt Tube Combo Amp Review

Sweetwater and Magnatone customer service are awesome

During the quarantine I decided to pull the plug on the Twilighter. I'd watched several videos and without playing one in person, decided to take the risk. Sweetwater had a demo model for a few hundred bucks less than a brand new model. I confirmed with Sweetwater it came with the footswitch and cover, but unfortunately when it showed up, the footswitch was missing. I reached out… read more to Sweetwater, and they sent me a brand new Twilighter in replacement. So I got to playing the Twilighter, and its voicing is stunning. It's clear, it breaks up right, the tremolo/vibrato is stunningly rich, the reverb is as it should be. A few weeks later the volume dropped out. I reached out to Magnatone and they told me to play around with the tubes, and if that didn't work I could send them the amp. It worked. Then a few weeks later I'd get a powerful popping sound. I reached out to Magnatone and told them I'd like to send it in - I just didn't feel comfortable with this new (and expensive) of an amp not working right. So I shipped it to them, they looked at it, told me it was tube related, and technically not covered under warranty, but would cover all expenses regardless. They also noticed some dings in the cabinet which probably occurred during shipping. The rehoused the amp in a brand new cabinet, and sent it back to me - all at no cost to me. Amp plays like a charm now. So, I can't sell you on this amp. You know your sound, you know what you're looking for. Research this amp, if it's it, go for it. But I really want to shout out to both Sweetwater and Magnatone for beyond excellent customer service. We live in a world where good customer service is a luxury, and I was very well taken care of.
