I have no association with the seller of this amp but I'd just like to say that I have just acquired a Matamp 1224 and it is absolutely stunning. Obviously its "horses for courses" but if you like a powerful tone (SRV style) that sings and growls - effortlessly sustaining notes, then you should check out this amp. In my view, the 1224 is right up there with the "Two Rocks" of this world.....the built in spring reverb is not up to much mind but that's not too much of an issue in my view. Go on, give it a go.

Couldn't agree more...

Gawd Chaps, form an orderly queue!! The Matamp Fan Club (Senior Citizen Members) are all in on this then?

Evening Paul, Marc and MtB.

Lovely Amps and Good Luck with the sale.

@exocet Let's just say Dave had some strange ideas when it came to reverb. It runs pre EQ so can get a bit muddy, although it does sound a bit like the old piggy back verb running in front of an amp.

Thought there was something strange going on - I do like a bit of spring reverb so I might look at filtering off some bottom end in the spring line drive circuit. In the scheme of things it's a pretty minor criticism of what is otherwise pretty damn close to sonic perfection.

That's what I tend to do. There's a coupling cap front board right hand side, drop the value there, it's probably a 1n but sometimes 4n7.

Cheers Hayden, I'll take a look.

Monthly bump for an English classic!

Have you tried eBay?

MtB

Not yet.......

It'll probably fetch what you're looking for there. The forums great and all but has a relatively small pool. Shipping it may help too.

MtB

Quarterly bump.
