Fun Fact is that Ireland is my most exported country for gear. 3 fuzz pedals there
Represent, yo.

Doubling impedance will screw me for bass use. Guess I'll start saving for some custom wound then. DR201 is what's inspiring me as I'll never afford to but one.
I'm from Letterkenny but live in Dublin and too lazy too quote both of you it seems..
I think I remember talking to you last year some time. It might have been in the old HCFX Doom Room. There is actually another Irishman who posted in the Doom Room last year who lives around Dublin—his name is Gary I think. He PM'ed me a few months ago for a chat, but I haven't heard from him since.
My name is Daniel, by the way.

It's funny: some companies go through years and years of open doors and retailing, but they never sell directly to someone from Ireland. But for whatever reason, Dunwich has dealt a few times to Ireland, and will continue to do so if I keep earning money.

Oh I can do a Selleck, no problem there. But the Reynolds I must agree is hard to beat.

I never posted in the old doom room so mightn't have been me, could have been FB or one of the Irish music boards though. Nice to meet ya anyway. I know Gary (guess he posted under Chutney Farmer) pretty well a few years now. Gave him a couple of BC182Ls a few years ago for a Meathead he never built.... Know Sie a bit through a mutual good friend,hopefully gonna have a meet up and gear nerd day soon in our band space.

I have been building a lot of Matamp based amps, mostly the DA120 which is very close to the 70s GT120.

First amp is a Matamp GT120/Fender Deluxe combination in a 1x12 combo. I wanted something for practise and for small gigs that was small, lightweight, simple to use, had cleans and low-gain crunchy goodness, and took pedals well. It'll have 6v6's or something of that ilk and will hopefully be more portable and quieter than my current Fryette Memphis. I wanted the Fender channel to go from BF Deluxe Reverb sounds to earlier Tweed grind, and a Matamp GT120 side that'll typically distort and sludg out sooner than the original. The inspiration for the design is the Tone King Falcon.
My second amp was designed in Autumn 2011. It's a KT88 90 watt amp that can be switched to 45 watts-ish by using 6CA7/EL34 type tubes. Both are installed at the same time and can be switched when the power is in standby. It'll be a super versatile beast with loads of controls and tweak-able parameters. A completely different amp to the combo, based on a mix of Marshall Plexi, Sunn Model T and Orange OR120.

Cool. Are you kept busy for pedals as well, because I have an idea I'd like to talk to you about some time, a tremolo.

My dream amp set-up is still to run a GT1 and a Fryette Deliverance in stereo. That's a long, long way off, though.
