Cleaning Up: The Matchless 30/15 Amp Demo - Unbelievable Tone!
#MatchlessAmpDemo #Matchless3015 #UnbelievableTone
This is the first in a video series called "Sound Check" where I take a look at the Matchless 30/15 Reverb - designed by Phil Jamieson in 2010..
This amp has an incredible and unique voice, with a character all of it's own.
Is Matchless the king of EL84 Amps and is this most inspiring clean channel ever made?
I'll let you be the judge and and let me know in the comments below!
I hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe to the channel.
Take care and I'll see you again soon

    I don’t think it’s the clean channel of the C30

    Hi Dave, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. You're absolutely right. When I was buying the amp prior to making the video - I was told that the 30/15 was essentially the clean channel of the C30. However, Phill Jamieson kindly watched the video, and then emailed me clarified that the 30/15 was a later circuit that he had designed in 2010. he also mentioned that "The C30 Ch1 is a top boost style circuit with two 12AX7’s and a Bass and Treble Control. Ch2 is the EF86 circuit that has a rotary tone switch for an eq sweep." I absolutely love my Matchless - to this day, I'm still excited everytime I play through it! Thanks again Dave - all the best, Matt
