SOLD: MATAMP 1224 Mk2

MtB

SOLD

I'm selling gonna be selling some amps and guitars over the next few weeks as a change of job means that I just don't get enough time to play them any more. Offers in the region of £800. No trades thanks. I will not post / ship this due to size and weight, but may be prepared to meet up. I live close to J8 on the M1 and work in Maidenhead. Used to be on the old forum as GAS_man.

First up is a Matamp 1224 Mk2. A wonderful amp that can cover many styles of music and (crucially for me when I bought it) has power switching from 50 watts (clean) down to about 3 watts.

There's loads of reading material about these on t'internet if you want to know more.

The amp is in very good condition, no nicks or scrapes in the tolex and minor tarnishing on the plated corners. Preamp valves are JJ and it's currently running 4 x Svetlana winged C EL34s

Thanks McToot

Lew

You're selling the wrong amp -_-

Van_Hayden

Nice amp - Dave Green built and pre 2005/6 when the chassis changed. Could be earlier. Good price considering there's a set of svets in it!

Good luck!

MtB

@Lew - You may be right, I bought a C7 from new and regretted selling that so much that I bought the 1224. Currently I'm a Kemper convert, which suits my needs better for the occasions when I find some time to play. If it doesn't sell I may be forced to get shot of the Kemper (as they are more in vogue and easier to off-load at the moment).

@Van_Hayden - thanks for the info & comments.

Don't sell your Matamp!

I have some kind of GT1 ish type thing although its a bit random and has been rewired a bit, also built by Dave Green.

I visited the factory circa 2005 and had the pleasure of meeting the whole crew (of the time) including Mr Green.

Lew

@MtB I meant that the 1224 isn't the Matamp I want ;-) not tried a Kemper and don't suppose I will. In the words of The Dude "I still jerk off manually"

@Antique_Guitars I'd love some more details. Feel free to pm me :-)

I was only part time around then, you'd have met Dave, John and Jeff.

I can help with identification if you send some pictures.

Monthly bump.

Was this mine? Were you the man who brought the Les Paul to my house? Hahaha

Van_Hayden

Can't believe it's still here - £600 off the new price!

samzadgan

if i had the money for this...i would hit it!

MtB

@jacklawtey - good question. I bought the amp 5 years ago from Strung Out guitars in Glasgow, and at that time the amp faceplate had the name Marty Arkless engraved on it.

Great amp, very versatile in terms of both it's clean to overdriven sounds and it's power outputs.

MtB

Shameless bump

Its probably not quite powerful enough for what you want Sam.

Cacofonix

This was near the top of my list when I was hunting for a 30w -ish amp. Have a bump.

MtB

Currently fitted with EL34s, so pushing out around 50w clean (is my understanding).

MtB

Monthly (I'm still here) bump

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.
