Hello All, this is my first post. My other Guitar Player was given this amp, we recovered it, that's all we did. (I hope my picture uploads). It was made by Audio Guild Corporation in Van Nuys, California. The preamp tubes are 4 - 7025 ECC83, the control panel has 2 channels, each with High/Low inputs and the Ultraflex input for a total of 5-inputs. he Ultraflex input has a dual input switch to drive both channels. Channel 1 has Bass and Treble controls and the volume control has a push/pull type brilliant switch. The Ultraflex input has a balance (Bass to Treble) control. Channel 2 has Volume, Tone, Vibrato Speed, Depth and Reverb Duration controls. Next to channel 2 is the Pilot lamps, Fuse holder, Power, Standby, and Anti-hum switches. The amp uses 4 - 7591 power tubes and 6GH8 rectifier tube. The two different outputs drive a 8-inch Utah V8PC-4 speaker and a 12-inch Utah V12PXC2 speaker. The electronics are Don Bonham's Patent.
The PANoramic at this site (http://www.vibroworld.com/magnatone/PAN_unknown.html) is exactly the same, except for the Titano name. I'm trying to get a manual on how to use the electronics to change tones. Running clean, I get that B. B. King sound and I love it (I'm Using a 1986 Squire by Fender). I really don't know how to use this amp to it's fullest extent. Any thoughts, suggestions or insite will really be appreciated. Thanks Sixpac

Someone may have some info for you here, but I'd recommend the Magnatone group on yahoo.

Yes, that's a Bonham designed amp! It's a very cool amp and I have lusted in my heart for one, but it doesn't have anything to do with Guild guitars. Ditto, the yahoo group. That's your best resource and you'll be able to find out everything you want to know. Root through the pics and archives first. BTW, the 6GH8 drives the reverb on that amp, and it is output through the 8" speaker, IIRC. It has a solid state rectifier. If the reverb sounds wonky in the future, that's the tube you need to replace.
Good luck!
