Tried one of these out at the Manchester Guitar Show at the weekend - cracking little amp for the price. Great tone - classic Matamp.

Fired up my GAS for a King Street again though :roll:

Seriously gassing for either the Little Rock or a King Street. SERIOUSLY.

Just tried to ring them with a few questions about the Little Rock but got no answer. I'll try again later. I only had a quick noodle on it on Sunday and didn't try out all the gain options and EQ. I was testing out a guitar not the amp at the time :roll:

What can I sell to get the cash for one...

Is this the TinyTerror Killer?

Same price point at least ...

It's not as cute as the Minimat (too many knobs!) but it looks like it should be more versatile - and only slightly more expensive.

Hunter - yep, it's the Tiny Terror killer...

One day, Matamp will make a truly pocket-sized powerful tube amp. You just know it, they're the veritable masters of mini.

wife...

seriously, though, i must check the matamp site... i haven't been there since that was released.

:drink:

EDIT: ah, you just ordered it!

£299 sounds really, really good... garg! shame i don't really like the metal front... and no options...

slightly off topic, but still on, has anyone got a kingstreet head, & if so how good are they?

Twinfan · « **Reply #12 on:** May 09, 2007, 02:11:14 PM »

I've played one. I take it you've seen the used one on eBay? I was pondering over that too but decided to stick with my Klipps for now. It's a good price too.

The King Street is what I would describe as the son of a Marshall JMP Master Volume and a Bognor Shiva.

I played one L O U D L Y at Matamp's factory last week ... that little demon is GREAT!!

You gotta post a proper "Back in Black" recording here once the head arrived and you found a few minutes to throw a mic in front of it

Matamp are really poor when it comes to offering clips on their site ... not so easy for a belgian citizen to test their product ....
