I find these amp's very interesting, i'd go for the non master one:

I think the guy that makes them used to work for electric amps

oh, and if you could find one, Laney supergroup or Marshall super bass would be great for any detuned heavy music

should be able to put in another transformer
that's extra $ and it will probably end up costing as much as buying a 1224GT + 4x12 cab V30 speakers (ofcoz not the matamp cab)

I have someone offering me a 2nd hand Orange PPC412 for $720US, sounds like a good deal to me
but all i have to run the cab now is a 40w Marshall DSL combo...

the local Orange dealer is willing to offer me a ok deal for a Rockerverb head
but still don't get time to try the Rockerverb yet...

some sound clips would be nice.
quick question, what mojo does the SOZO bring?
I have seen them around, just not quite sure...

the heavy part with the mastered volume sounds pretty sweet, not sure about the clean tho...
it's pretty hard to compare when the sound was so different from the non-master vol to master vol

are there more handwired amps that work/sound like THE Matamp?

Also the JCM800 Superbass MKII is perfect: very clean, lot of headroom, it takes well every fuzz you would use.

I would also consider the Fender Bassman 100, It's a great and powerful amp. You can listen a Bassman here:

It's an Italian band called Lento (the guitarists use a Rat II).

OOOHHH yeah I like the look of the love buzz! Looks much better than the first pictures. I said it before and I will say it again if you make A 100 watt version I will buy it! or at least come out to Wisconsin and try it out
matamps go up on ebay on a regular basis so you could just watch out for them. Electric amps from what I understand are PTP versions of matamps. Their innards look much more impressive. Also you want to take different tubes into consideration. You can dramatically change the sound of an amp by changing the tubes. ie you can take a bright amp and put some dark sounding tubes into it to roll off some highs.

[dorfmeister]

Can't listen to the clips right now but is the Love Buzz supposed to sound Kind of old Matampish/Orangeish?

DOOOOOOON'T!
not until you find a way to fit in a 220V transformer okay ?!
or gimme a 100watts dwarfcraft amp NOW!!!

at the end of the day, i am finding THE amp to run my ECT & Secret Destroyer!
so don't do that to me... do not run ECT into the Love Buzz.

I was looking at the 69watts 7knobs from Electric but it is a bit over my budget.
have they always been that expensive or did it go up just becoz all the cool kids want one?
