Title: Played a Matamp GT1 today...
Post by: Twinfan on August 07, 2007, 09:53:24 PM: ...and I now want one. Badly :(

Had to go to the factory to get my Little Rock fixed (I'd blown the DI output adjuster :oops: ) and took the opportunity to play a GT1 they had in the showroom. Perfect rock sound for me - nice and thick and chewy - although it didn't fully shine thorugh the Hot 100 4x12 I was playing it though. I think through my V30 or G12H cabs it'd be awesome.

I'm going to have to find £700 from somewhere...

There's so many MAtamps that I want but so little room at home :lol: (and £s ofcourse!)

My Little Rock has recently gone 'tits up' too. The switch is knackeerd and nothing happens with the amp apart from the power light flickers on/off very quickly. Spoke to Jeff and he's sending me a new switch to try.

Hope you get yours sorted mate :)

Brow's sounds like a faulty switch - it happens from time to time I guess. I wouldn't say they were unreliable per se...

Fair enough - just curious, as I knew they were only recent acquisitions. I've got the MiniMat II on my "little amps" GAS list, just waiting for them to update the specs on the site.

now twinfan - how exactly did you blow the DI thingymajig? It would be nice to know exactly what this can and cant be used for without breaking it.
