Matchless Laurel Canyon Demo | Midwood Guitar Studio

I think this is one of the best sounding amps out there right now

Love the squire lick!

[@realgoodmind]

Thank you for doing a demo on this amp. Matchless is so behind the ball on youtube. It's hard to believe they do not have a presence online

[@sweetguy19762]

Because they are ok amps, I get a great sound on a vox.

[@southport65]

maybe no youtube presence, but don't say no presence online when their instagram is very active with loads of followers.

As a former '95 Chieftain owner and remembering the hysteria around these amps back then, they're probably doing fine coasting off the reputation built pre-internet (ie. probably sell as many as they comfortably build).

[@p6x2]

They have a high price tag, so not many own one. Also, Matchless being a "small" company, they probably don't have the mean to pay all these so-called "influencers" on YT to praise the amp. I got interested in Matchless when Kenny Wayne Shepherd appeared with his first album. I went to see him play, and excepted for how loud the band played, I dug the Matchless amp. But I could not afford one, so I bought a Laney instead. I don't think Kenny uses Matchless anymore, and I don't remember what model he had on stage when I saw him. Maybe an HC or a DC? I have now relocated where Matchless amps are more readily available, but I cannot convince myself to spend that much money on just one Amp.

Nice demo! Just got one! looking forward to having a go at it...

[@Tonetwisters]

Well done.

[@cattleprods911]

Geez, what wonderful sounds

[@lancecass8997]

So crazy to think, I'd feel comfortable with this quiet amp on stage, no matter how small. We sure set goals different these days

[@charliewesley94]

Fantastic sounding amp. Great demo. Thank you!

[@coachtd2163]

Does the LC generate any hiss at idle? Or at any other point? (I thought I caught some during the silence before the riffs at the 2:20 mark but I think you were maxing the master and then rolled down your guitar's volume?) I expect some white noise at some point on any tube amp but am in search of the make/model that minimizes hiss the best. Maybe Matchless? Nice demo.

billy good opening

[@jeffarowbat6385]

What happened to your Matchless HC 15? I love that video!

[@oandrefelipe_]

Great 🔥

[@dukeh62]

How would you say the volume compares to a 5E3 tweed deluxe?

[@CiaoGibson]

👌

[@Im-sure]

You need to leave that tremolo alone.

[@caseybcraft]

Way too much whammy? It confuses the clarity of the amp.
