Matchless Amps are all about no compromise. It's in the name itself and it shines though the sound of each product they make. Matchless paved the way for several high end boutique amp builders in the early nineties. One of the flagship amps, the DC30 is still a best seller today. Check out that and a few more of our favorites here at Rogue Guitar Shop!
Thirty very conservatively rated watts from a quartet of EL-84’s, through two channels, each with unique voicing and tone control layouts, produce a world of tone choices. True “Class A” configuration gives rich, complex harmonics whether played clean, mildly over driven, or with all out power tube saturation. This means you should sound great in any situation, in any music style.

The sound of the Lightning is that very classic EL84 “British Sound”. Much more scooped in the midrange than the Spitfire and Nighthawk, you will quickly see how well it sits in the mix against other instruments. Its clarity and voicing will slice through everything, making you very present.
Actual tonal possibilities are very extensive and it produces loud output volumes not normally associated with a 15 watt rating.

Driven by one 12AX7, simplistic in design but with a wide range of function and tone. The creamy tone of the Spitfire perfectly galvanizes the bridge pickup sound for both classic and modern rock sounds. The easy to dial controls and minimalist foundation makes it perfect for Jazz, Blues, Chord Melody, Country picking, and Rock.
The Spitfire comes in a lightweight, compact cabinet, but still packs the same punch you’ve come to expect from Matchless.
Like all Matchless amplifiers, the Spitfire is hand made, point to point wired and tough as nails. User controls are Volume, Tone, and Master Volume
