Matamps for the rest of us

[qersty]

Recently bought a used matamp cab for a very reasonable price. It's definitely high quality stuff!

what speakers are in it what kinda cones does it spark

V30s

For vintage tone. 30 times?

Listen-

I like clean sounds. I like Matamps.

Have you looked into something like the Kuro T120?

That way you could have that plugged into the effects loop input of your clean amp and
just use the power amp and drive as much clean (or not) as you want with the T120.

I haven't tried the T120. I do have a Kuro Exegol. But I haven't ever played a Matamp or Sunn
amp. First I was thinking of getting a DOD Boneshaker via ilf B/S/T, but since few people seem
to want to sell outside of contiguous 48 states, I figured I might as well whole-hog a direct Kuro
purchase.

So take everything I say with grains of sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride.

You know, I haven't delved into the preamp pedal world for this kind of sound. I have no knowledge what is out there for the Matamp sound- this looks like a good place to start! Thanks.

Green Matamps are not Peter Green related. Possibly Dave Green related as he used to build for Matamp but it's really just the colour.

But yeah, it's just an homage and tolex - although Peter Green did use a Series 2000 with fleetwood mac back in the day.

Yep.

or 1930s vintage?

maybe a combination of roman and arabic numerals, 5-30?
