Matamp Minimat

What's peoples experience of these? How are they voiced and do they take pedals well?

I can't seem to find much on the web about these so any help would be great.

I can only guess nobody has used one?

I had one.  Was going to post the other day, but then realised I really don't have a clue how it was voiced.  I'm hopeless at describing shit like that.  But, FWIW:

• Lovely warm clean, with an English rather than Fendery vibe.
• I didn't dig the attenuator AT ALL - getting overdive that way sounded a bit like the collective fart of a thousand wasps in an oversized jar
• Took pedals nicely
• Looked cool

Regardez:

Sold it to a feller in Stavanger.  He didn't come looking for me, so he must've liked it a bit...

I had one, I agree with the post above.

Same here,especially re the attenuator !

As a pedal platform it is ideal, the clean sound is really excellent and p@sses all over much more expensive boutiquey amp. I really like the sound of mine through a 1x12 V30.

Excellent warm cleans, excellent overdriven tones, takes pedals very well. Looks like this: Sounds like this: Mines a Minimat 2 BTW

Don`t think you could have a better amp demo !

capo4th

After that demo you need this amp in your life

Demian is a great player though you do have to watch the video fully to appreciate the full extent of what these amps are capable in the hands of a pro.

I am guessing I will be in the same camp here, my playing will not quite make any amp sound like this. Mine is more akin to



They do sound like great little amps though. I was trying to weigh up between getting one of these or one of those vintage sounding Jet City amps to use at home.

SimpleSimon

Cant speak directly for Jet City as i dont own one, but from what ive heard read and been told they are great amps. Either would be a great amp to get.

I reckon you werent cranking it enough. Ive found if you dime everything then use the volume and tone on the guitar you can achieve some amazing sounds. That said im no Demian Dominguez either.

matone

It got cranked ok,it`s the fingers that I couldn`t get turned up to eleven !
