Magnavox Bass Amp

Does anybody remember a Magnavox bass amp from the late 60s or early 70s? It was big and heavy, had 2 x 15s in it and effects. It was promoted as a competitor to the Super Beatle. I had one in the early 70s and can't remember what it was. Have never seen anybody else use one.

Traded it in on an Acoustic, which was a way better amp and bottom.

Sure it wasn't Magnatone? The only time I know of Magnavox putting out amps was when they bought the company that owned Ampeg in the mid-70's.

I think you are thinking of Multivox Perhaps?

Or Univox. IIRC I had a Univox all tube amp with a 1x15 that just sounded great.

It was a Magnatone M35. Big, heavy, almost impossible to move around. But boy was it loud.
