NAD!! Matchless Combo

jimmyguitar

Found this Matchless Nighthawk Reverb 1x12 Combo on Gumtree for £700, got it home last week but have only just torn myself away from it to write this! What a fantastic amp! 15 unbelievably loud watts of the best tone I've ever heard. I'm so happy with it I often see '3D' and 'swirly' as descriptive words used for Matchless amps and always put it down to sales patter but having played one I completely agree.

Awesome dude! That is a winner, at a great price, and don't really see too many of them around either.

Happy NAD!

Have had two amps that give a 3D or 'swirl' - 59 Bassman LTD and currently my Super Reverb. I've never played so few chords in songs since getting addicted to this phenomenon...I like it when my notes breathe and sparkle like cascades of silver stars...!

£700?! You have robbed that man. You are a bouncer and a scoundrel and I dislike you immensely.

Bloody good arrows that man! :-)

Great score. What is the Nighthawk? Is that their ef86 one?

If it lives up to the movie it's a winner!

Welcome to the club!(man)... Matchless amps really are special, no BS, they just sound really really good. They move up a gear at gig volume. Fantastic.... Congrats

I'm loving it, gigged it the other day and it was just perfect! The gig was un mic'd and I had clean headroom to spare with a Les Paul, a loud 15w! I love how the top end is clear yet still warm and not ice-picky. I've been through loads of amps trying to find this sound

Yes, 2 x EL84, 1 x EF86 and 2 x 12ax7 for the reverb.
