Matchless Dc 30
Channel 2 volume tone.
Matchless dc 30. Thirty very conservatively rated matchless amps come standard in black. At that time though working with other bands bob had discovered this amp builder in los angeles who created one of the first bespoke boutique amps. Channel 1 volume bass treble. They were no longer factory mass.
The controls for the dc 30 are simple. Four el84s in class a cathode bias rectifier. The dc 30 was the company s first design and still leads the lineup as the flagship model. Sounds incredible looks almo.
In 1999 matchless closed its doors for a time after being hit hard by the crash of the yen and a confluence of other circumstances at which point perrotta and sampson moved on to work for bad cat. Our amplifiers and extension cabinets are all point to point hand wired by our staff in los angeles california using the best materials available. Regrettably selling my mint matchless dc 30. The dc 30 really is a modern classic on so many levels and its continued use by a multitude of pros is further testament to the achievements of sampson and perrotta.
30 or 15 watt option. Two channels 2 x 12ax7 with bass and treble controls and an ef86 channel with a 6 position tone preset control and a variable hf cut. Founded in 1989 matchless amplifiers was born with a simple philosophy. Shared cut masteroutput.
Both of these channels run through a bypassable push pull master volume. One ef86 three 12ax7s one for pi output tubes. It s got the normal mismatched matchless speakers that gives it that really 3d sound. Bought it a few years ago as an sc 30 1x12 combo and then bought this loaded 2x12 combo shell to make it a dc and run it with my ac30.
Their amps were introduced to me by bob rock when i was recording sonic temple.
