Modern Class A – based on a Matchless DC-30
This model is based on a Matchless DC-30.
The DC-30 was the amp that really put Matchless on the map. Mark Sampson, the
amp’s designer, who was kind enough to tell us the story behind this great amp’s design
personally, set out to create a road-worthy Class A amp that had the versatility to cover
a wide range of tones.
Built like a tank (and weighing nearly as much), the DC-30 paid tribute to early Vox
amps, so if you like a Vox AC-30 (or Duoverb’s Class A-30 model based on one), you’ll
also want to check out this model.
The Cabinet Model is based on the DC-30 with its pair of 12-inch Celestion Custom
Design speakers.
