Description
The 410 was the entry level Magnatone from 1961-1963. The single channel had volume and tone controls and a "mellow-bright" switch that opened and closed a treble bleed .001 cap across the volume pot. The vibrato had intensity and speed controls and was handled by a 12DW7 and two varistors.

Alex Turner plays a Magnatone Custom 410 starting during the “Suck It and See” recording sessions onwards. Turner uses the 410 in combination with his Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 for the tour of that album as well as the recording and tour of Arctic Monkeys 5th studio album, “AM.”
In an interview with James Ford with Sound on Sound, long time Arctic Monkeys producer and bandmate of Alex's in The Last Shaddow Puppets, Ford explains how Turner used his Magnatone in junction with his Selmer Zodiac Twin 30. The Magnatone was used for Alex to get more vibrato and reverb tones. He would also get reverb out of his Selmer amplifier, considering Turner doesn’t use a reverb pedal after the “Humbug” era. The Tremolo on this amp to get the famous tone of “Do I Wanna Know?” along with the reverb from his Selmer, delay from his Boss DM-1 Delay Machine and overdrive from his Coopersonic Valveslapper used with his Vox Starstream XII 12 String.
Ford states “Alex Turner's rig typically featured him playing his faithful Fender Bronco or occasionally a Gibson Les Paul through his crocodile‑skin Selmer Zodiac and '60s Magnatone amps. "Al does more rhythmy stuff, and for that it was just pretty straight, quite bright and punchy into the Selmer. We sometimes ran that and his old Magnatone at the same time. It has a really nice vibrato on it and reverb. So sometimes we'd mix those two signals together, but just onto the one track.” This explains how Alex got his tones for “Suck It and See” and “AM.”
Pictured is Turner’s Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 on the left and his Magnatone Custom 410 on the right. Here they are both are miked with Shure SM7s.
During the bands “Tranquility Base Hotel And Casino” tour, the Magnatone is used to amp the Synthesizer the band uses, located behind Jamie Cooks setup. While Alex doesn’t use this amp for guitar anymore, about midway though their 6th tour he switched his mentioned Selmer for another Magnatone, the 280.
