Matamp GT1

[@specialops728]

Always nice to see another Clutch fan!

[@brennanfleuette4627]

I am saving for a GT1 right now, thank you this was very informative

[@27retrodaze]

Ive never seen a black Matamp... Looks sick in black!

For a decade or so I hunted down one of those “Green Amp” clones from Seattle you were talking about. Mines not green, I’ve uploaded a clip I think but your story is decently accurate. Sad story too Basically things went sour between the two companies, and the Seattle guy, “Electric,” Got a fantastic amp tech named McNeece to build these high quality, point-to-point wired beasts. Eventually things also went sour between them and now to my knowledge, that’s it! Shame too, I’d spend a fortune at that shop if things were fully operational. I think I’ll end up with a GT1 one day too, thanks for the video !

[@TheMiddleAgedMusician-mc6xo]

Yeah, I had started my Matamp quest about 20 years ago, so getting the GT1 was definitely a high point for me. I had tried working with the guy in Seattle a bit when he was still importing, and then when he started building, but communications always seemed spotty. Anyway, glad you got your Electric - it is cool to have a back story on your amp. Also cool that you managed to get a matching cab. I'm not sure how many were made in purple.

@@TheMiddleAgedMusician-mc6xo haha thank you! I estimate maybe 5 or less in purple… which was my dream amp so I had to get this combo ASAP when I saw it. I also have the “Purple AMP” faceplate I’ll swap one day

riffs on 11:11-11:27 is awesome! What is this?

[@robertpratte3639]

I do a lot of noodling. If you like the riff, feel free to use it.

[@theGreenDruid0317]

@robertpratte3639 thank you! by the way, after watching your video I decided to order myself a GT-1, I've been waiting for about half a year because of delivery problems to Russia

I see a Dwarvenaut! I love my 2 Dwarvenaut 20s; wet/dry stereo, crushes! I mean 2 Matamps would be even crushier! But the Dwarvenauts, even at 20 watts bring the noise police to the door.

[@TheMiddleAgedMusician-mc6xo]

Yeah, great little amp. It really is its own thing.

[@brycet1505]

Any experience with the GT2 or the 1224? I'm wondering how they compare.

[@TheMiddleAgedMusician-mc6xo]

Unfortunately, I have not. But my experience with this amp tells me that they will be awesome at what they do.

[@brycet1505]

@@TheMiddleAgedMusician-mc6xo Nice! Recently learned that the 1224 has been discontinued, which is too bad. Oh, well, will have to check out the used market or go for a GT1 or 2.

[@adamtownsend9499]

The guy that imported matamps and modded them and all's company is Electric Amps (also called Green Amps, White Amps, Purple Amps, and a few others as names), but he's caught a bad rep due to bad communication tactics and failure to deliver products.

[@TheMiddleAgedMusician-mc6xo]

I have heard this in the past. I honestly didn't know if he was still even doing business, especially once Matamp started shipping to the US.
