Default Matamp MiniMat Custom

I just got my custom Matamp MiniMat today. It's a 2W head with a footswitchable boost (built around an MXR Microamp) and a DI.









As you can see, it's handbuilt.

As for sounds: It has a lovely palette of clean sounds to go through. It overdrives nicely, though to get more than a light crunch you'll need a pedal.

The boost is nice to add more presence/ a bit more overdrive. It's a bit honky full up, but roll it down to 3/4s and it's all groovy.

Anyway it's cool, and I shall spend the afternoon worshipping the "BULL GOD".

Craig

p.s. That's my new Gibson Flying V too - which is a sweet guitar. Picked it up for £275 earlier this week.

That looks cool, is the cab from the same company?

Is it loud enough? (obviously not for gigging)

yeah, it's pretty loud. It has a master volume on the back though - a kid of attenuator.

The cab is from the same company. they're cool - check 'em out - www.matamp.co.uk

I got it off a guy on the Harmony-Central Amp Forum. Couldn't really afford it, but neither could I pass up such a killer deal....

Given that my name is actually Matt, I really should get one of these.

Do you think they would build one that says "MattAmp"?

Just received my one today and im very impressed with it
didnt expect it to be so loud and it just sounds great.
im using my DS-1 to give the overdrive a boost at the moment and it sounds awesome for lead stuff. even without the DS-1 the in-built boost does give it a nice crunch
