Laughable

Magnatone has been bananas with their prices for a minute now. I've seen ZZ Top a few times in the last 5 years and was curious about them as Billy Gibbons was always using a wall of Magnatone for his backline. Did a little more research, nope he's using a couple of racked JMP-1 preamps backstage.
 
Although out of my price range, Magnatone makes nice stuff.

Inflation is going to continue to rise, we should start getting over the sticker shock, it's a new world now.
 
I have a Magnatone M80. I like it.

Did I probably pay too much for it? Yeah, but I've scored great deals on enough other stuff to make up the difference.

Would I buy a Slash Magnatone for that price? Hell no.
 
I remember when you could buy a new Les Paul Custom for $800.

A boogie 4x12 with 4 v30s is 1500$

A friedman 4x12 with 2 v30s and 2 GBs is 1500$

A Marshall 1960AV 4x12 with 4 v30s is 1259$

I'm not sure in what universe the magnatone logo and slash's name make it worth literally twice as much
