Magnatone Slash Signature Collection Lil' Viper 8W 1x8" Tube Guitar Combo Amp - Purple Python

Small in size but rich in tube character, the Magnatone Slash Signature Collection Lil' Viper 8W 1x8" guitar combo amp delivers handcrafted tone in the most compact amp of Slash's lineup. Its hand-wired push-pull Class AB design pairs a single 12AX7 preamp tube with a matched pair of NOS 6AQ5 power tubes and a Magnatone Custom 8" ceramic speaker for warm mids, articulate response and smooth overdrive. LO and HI gain modes, along with gain, tone and master controls, provide flexible shaping for home playing, recording and backstage warmups. Finished in an iridescent Purple Python snakeskin covering with black matrix grille cloth, gold piping and hardware, a backlit Magnatone logo and Slash’s Skully emblem on a gold anodized faceplate, the Lil' Viper brings signature styling to a portable everyday combo amp.

Hand-Wired Tube Voice With Plenty of Bite

At the heart of the Lil' Viper is a hand-wired circuit designed to deliver responsive tube tone in a compact format. The 12AX7 preamp tube and matched NOS 6AQ5 power tubes produce warm mids and articulate attack through the custom 8" ceramic speaker. LO and HI gain modes allow quick transitions between edge-of-breakup clarity and more saturated drive. Gain, tone and master controls keep shaping simple, while the tone control adds top-end clarity and tightens the low end as it increases.

Smaller Form Factor With Full Slash Collection Character

The Lil' Viper carries the Purple Python aesthetic into a highly portable 8W combo designed for flexible placement and easy transport. Measuring 16.5" x 13" x 8" and weighing 18 lb., it fits comfortably into desktop recording spaces, living room setups and backstage rigs. The iridescent snakeskin covering, gold accents and black matrix grille cloth mirror the design language of the larger Slash models, giving the Lil' Viper a cohesive visual identity within the collection.

Slash: A Legendary Voice In Rock Guitar

Best known as the lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, Slash helped define modern rock guitar with the release of Appetite for Destruction and iconic tracks like “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Welcome to the Jungle.” His expressive phrasing, saturated sustain and unmistakable tone have influenced generations of players. The Magnatone Slash Signature Collection reflects that legacy, blending Purple Python styling with responsive tube performance. Designed for practice, recording and portable use, the Lil' Viper 8W guitar combo amp delivers expressive tube tone in a compact Slash-inspired format.
