What a great amp you've chosen Sah.

I am an Ex GT1 Owner. Beautiful amps and capable of a vast amount of different sounds.

Excuse the Matamp Love Fest. I think you'll know by now that I am something of a Fan. Love Hot 100s too.

luuuverly amps you have there.

cheers guys...Lexie...that is proper matamp porn!

i did a bit of recording today. Stereo set up with Marshall...matamp set up a little dirty and the marshall set clean. The matamp is awesome, its sounds full and fat but retains all the frequencies...it has a really amazing EQ section. Even with the bass up and treble backed off, the Matamp still retains the high end where its needed...amazing!

in this recording i went back and forth between the Matamp and the Marshall...then went stereo...

Sounds great

fuck me...been playing it a few more times at nights...not stereo just the matamp alone. I thought the super bass was the best amp i had ever owned, or heard...this thing though...its a completely different level of quality.

i think i said before the EQ section is great, but, i have to say again, there is no bad settings on the EQ, everything just sounds good. The voice knob is great at fattening things up, makes the amp very versatile from country, to jazz to blues and metal...you get a basic tone to basically do anything.

The clean is so rediculously lovely...i havent really played any distortion stuff with it, its just nice to play with a little break up...so warm and clear. The touch sensitivity is beyond anything i have had before.

The master volume is done so well, you click it on, and start to dial in a low volume (which is manageable) with no need to adjust the EQ. The tone is pretty much intact at low and high volume. As opposed to most amps where the amps tone doesnt really come through until you get to a certain volume level.

sorry, i'm rambling...but the more i play this amp the more i am impressed with it. I've done this before, but its usally been because i've found extra features to play with...but in this case, its such a simple amp...that my excitement is only about the tone...and the more i hear it the better it gets! 

more people need to own these amps...or clones (i guess)...and I have to admit, considering the price of some of the more commercial amps out there...it is very cheap for what you get (tone to £ ratio)
