GERMINO CLASSIC 45
The Classic 45 faithfully replicates the tone of an original JTM-45, only better! This amp is a delight to play being as at home doing "Beano" era Clapton as it is replicating AC/DC to early ZZ Top. The Classic 45™ goes from an amazing clean tone to the best crunchy overdriven sounds imaginable. Excellent bottom end, incredible frequency response and exceptional 3D balance are all there to enjoy.
GERMINO MONTEREY 100
Based on the original "Super Amplifier" from the 1966 time period also known as the JTM-45/100. Original examples of these early amps are getting harder and harder to find, and prices keep escalating. The Germino Monterey 100 "Super Amplifier" is a faithful re-creation of the JTM-45/100 in every way with extreme attention to detail in build quality and components. The sound is unmistakably vintage with it's huge full sound evoking memories of Fresh Cream, early Hendix and early AC/DC.
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
