Matchless Best Amp - Matchless Independence 35

Подробнее о видео

In today's video, Paul and James from The Studio Rats are checking out the amp that Paul should never have sold: the Matchless Independence 35.
The Matchless Independence is what we consider to be Matchless's greatest achievement. This 3 channel amp can do everything from beautiful cleans to quite high gain and its very hard to make this amp sound bad.

Here is what Matchless say about the Independence 35
The Independence 35 is the first 35 watt 3 channel guitar amplifier in Matchless’ history! In addition to the signature backlit nameplate, the three channels light up red, white, and blue.

Channel two (white) is powered by one 12AX7 and will provide ample chunk and high-gain lead. Channel three (red) is all about fire. The master volume control is by-passable and features a cut control to thicken up and shave the highs.

The power section of the Independence starts with a 5AR4 rectifier tube and the 35 watt output is powered by two EL34s, which are cathode self biasing. A 3 position rotary switch allows for 4, 8, & 16 ohm output. The channels are switched through one footswitch.
