New Hayden Amps site

[HTH AMPS]

I remember a guy called Hayden working at Matamp a couple/few years back and when I saw these amps I immediately got the connection.  The ex-chief-engineer at Matamp (Dave Green) now works for Hayden amps as well.  Coincidence?

Yes.  :)    Hayden M. still works at Matamp, as well as running Bulldog pickups, and used to work for BKP.
There's no connection between him and Hayden amps, who are owned by Ashdown.

can't win em all, ha ha  :lol:

the Ashdown connection is obvious - Matamp did lots of R&D on the Peacemaker amps and it looks like the layout has stuck.

..and the fact that Greeny now works there, and designed this new range over the last year or so, presumably ending up with something akin to Matamps.

Isn't it that when Ashdown tried to do guitar amps as well, they didn't really get a good response, so they revamped the name (to Hayden) so as to kinda start afresh?

Also interesting to hear that Hayden M. worked for BKP, that'll perhaps explain the good things I hear about Bulldog pups (haven't tried any yet though...)

Was Hayden 'HJM' back in the day?
