This is a tube amplifier that is made by Matchless, a boutique amp manufacturer. It has 2 12" speakers inside, and delivers 40 watts of power. That might not seem like much to some of you, but for those who aren't aware, wattage does not equal volume, so this will be plenty loud for all of you who are concerned. There is a 1/4" input in the front, and there are knobs for Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble, Brilliance, Master, and Reverb. The brilliance control is a lot like the "Presence" knob found on other amps.
UTILIZATION
This amp is really easy to use. With 7 knobs, there's not a whole lot of room to mess around, there this is a decent variety of tone to be found. There's really not much need for a manual unless you want to get into the tubes. I haven't read the manual so I don't know how useful it'd be.
SOUNDS
This amp has an absolutely brilliant tone. There isn't any way you could go wrong with this amp if you are a blues player, jazz player, or rocker. Unless you require thick distortions from your amp, you can't really go wrong. This will sound great with any guitar, from a 1930s hollow-body Gretsch to a Strat or Tele or Les Paul, they all sound great. The hollow-bodies especially tend to sing with this amplifier, I've never had so much fun playing them. This amp just seems to be able to hit all the right notes, pardon the pun. I like hooking up pedals to it, when you plug in the right pedals it can really tear the roof off! It goes from smooth, to bright, to absolutely punishingly heavy.
OVERALL OPINION
This is probably one of the best, if not the best, amps I've ever played. It's also one of the most expensive, but it's totally worth it. Whoever is responsible for these tones deserves the money they'll make off of them. I'd say that most players who aren't professionals would probably not need one of these, and even some pros won't be able to afford it, but I'd think that overall, those who can should do it. It's probably one of the best purchases you'll make.
