Matamp Little Rock - love it - ordered 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 ....

Don't hold your breath; I don't see that happening any time soon.

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

I'll see what I can do when it arrives, plus my recording setup isn't as rofessional as yours  ;)  Should be good enough to get the general idea though so I'll get something sorted as soon as I can.

damn I hate you..was just looking at them was going to pay the factory a visit

[Philly Q]

I AM WEAK!

I CAN NOT RESIST!

ORDER PLACED!

SHOULD BE READY IN 3 WEEKS!

Arrrggghh!!  Must now sell stuff to pay for it...

It's amazing how quickly a situation can change under the influence of GAS.    :lol:

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

same, on all accounts :D

with a pedal like the HBE Big D, it SLAYS!

I reckon it'll be amazing with my MI Audio Crunch Box up front...

Any high end boost/OD will work. One of the things Matamp strives for is amps that need a pedal in front of em to really drive them. This way, instead of getting bored with your distortion tone and selling the amp, you simply swap out your pedal for a new one and voila! New high gain tone!

How does it cope with more metally stuff?
I fancied a minimat but it put me off that it wouldn't manage gain in the maiden territory I occasionally wonder into.

have a strange thing twin fan my marshall combo has 2x10 eminence heratage speakers and celestion heritage  1x12 extension cab

i suggest you swap them out for celestion Hot 100's MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better tone.

with the V30's it sounded a bit fizzy on the top end, but with the hot 100's, it sounded much fuller and punchier.. but then again depends on what style you play.

I was there while TO and Davey tried the amp @ the Matamp factory last week, and also agree with them that it sounds great.


It sounds so great infact that I ordered 1 on the spot while I was there  :lol:  :twisted:

Cheers Davey.  I've heard soundclips of the Hot 100s with a King Street and much preferred the sound of the V30s with it.  When I go and pick it up I'll see if I can have a play through the speaker wall and compare them  :)

Brow - good call!  I think there's about 20 of us with an order in already.  They're waiting on the first batch of output transformers arriving (due any time) then the first run of 20 or so will be built.

[Davey]

just be sure, that you dont order with some specs, that the amp was not intended to do (like doubling the output wattage)

dave (head assembly and amp guru) will NOT be happy about it hehehe
