Similar to the Lightning 15, the Spitfire keeps it sweet and simple. It is powered by two EL84s, 12AX7s for tone, a phase inverter and a 5AR4 for the rectifier. 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.

The Lightning's interactive tone controls influence each other in a very dynamic way and pull each other's range and reach up and down. Actual tonal possibilities are very extensive and it produces loud output volumes not normally associated with a 15 watt rating.

The Pro-grade single channel preamp with its interactive tone controls is coupled to a serious dual-EL84 power section with a tube rectifier. All models have active EQ to attain an excellent array of complex tones. User controls include Volume, Interactive Bass & Treble, and Master Volume.

The Avalon utilizes an innovative new hybrid construction method which combines point to point wiring, circuit tracing, and turret style construction. All parts, including the transformers, are identical to the ones that go into our traditional amps and are hand wired and built in our factory in Los Angeles.

The result is an amplifier that produces crystal clear, dynamic, three dimensional tones that are unique to Matchless at a lower price point.

The Avalon also comes standard with a plexi-glass front panel which showcases a glossy black chassis illuminated by recessed lighting and of course it features the signature Matchless light up logo. The traditional front panel is optional.

Another unique aspect of the Avalon is that it is highly scaleable and customizable so you can truly make it your own. Options are as follows:

Reverb - $330.00
Effects loop is standard

The Chieftain preamp utilizes two 12AX7's for its interactive tone and two 12AX7's for the reverb circuits. This highly flexible preamp circuit is enhanced by a very active mid control. The preamp section is coupled to a pair of EL34's power tubes via a 12AX7 phase inverter for tremendous power reserve.

The 40 watt Chieftain employs a tube powered spring reverb and a broad array of tone control knobs. The classic range of bass, mid, treble, brilliance and reverb controls provides quick access and visual confirmation of 5 tube based tone shaping parameters.

Exceptionally loud sound pressure levels can be attained with no appreciable loss of tone. Additional features include an effects loop and a switchable output impedance (4, 8, 16 ohms).

Sound on the 212 Combo is delivered through two Celestion speakers: two G12H30s, each specially modified to a proprietary MATCHLESS formula. All of this is encased in an extremely sturdy hand-made 11-ply, ¾” Baltic birch cabinet, wrapped in richly textured black vinyl. The finishing touch is our signature backlit nameplate and control panel, which lets you (and the audience) know when the power is on.

The Chieftain will support almost any playing style and is considered an excellent all-purpose amplifier.

Matchless ESD 212

Matchless speaker cabinets are manufactured using the best available raw materials from the wood down to the speaker components.

Our speakers are modified in-house to produce our signature tone. Each cabinet is voiced to produce the best possible tone for the size and power rating of the unit. We use the best available 11 ply Baltic birch wood and the toughest grade vinyl. Baffle designs are optimally tuned to produce maximum clean headroom and smooth overdrive

Like the DC-30, the Phoenix utilizes two contrasting preamp channels that each provides unique and dynamic tonal characteristics. The preamp section is based on a layout of two 12AX7s and one EF86.

Channel 1 is a parallel-triode circuit with interactive bass and treble, similar to the C-30, but with a wider range of tone control. Channel 2 consists of a high-gain EF86 pentode tube coupled to a six position tone switch. A "high treble" cut control in conjunction with the master volume with a push/pull bypass feature offers flexible control over the entire power amp section. The power amp is fed by a 12AX7 phase inverter which drives two EL34 power tubes which gives the amp punch and sensitive touch response. The rectifier circuit is driven by one 5AR4 for quick attack.

Other professional features include an effects loop, output impedance selector (4, 8, 16 ohms), a speaker phase-reverse switch and two courtesy AC receptacles. Logo and indicator lights glow red on the Phoenix.
