Matchless SC-30, excellent + condition, color is Crimson Red (which is an upcharge), original owner, custom ordered at The Guitar Shop, gigged once, low mileage on the tubes, incredible sounding amp. I’m simply not using the amp, it may have 20 hours on the tubes since i purchased it last year. No trades. It's best to reach me by e-mail: alexdann1@gmail.com
From the Matchless website:
The preamp sections are based on a layout of two 12AX7's in Channel 1 and one EF86 in Channel 2. The two 12AX7's in Channel 1 create a parallel-triode circuit with interactive bass and treble. The one EF86 in Channel 2 consists of a high-gain pentode coupled to a six-position tone switch. Outright benefits include quick dial-in of new tones and an easy return to the settings you learn to prefer. Also "high treble" cut control, master volume, with a bypass feature that offers flexible control of the power amp section.
The power amp is fed by a 12AX7 phase inverter, which drives four EL84 power tubes. The rectifier circuit gives you the flexibility of using one 5AR4 for a quick attack or you can use two 5V4's for a smooth round response.
Other professional features include an effects loop, half power-mode switch (a conservative 30 watts switching to 15 watts), output impedance selector (4, 8, 16 ohms) and a speaker phase-reverse switch.
Price: $3K
