Founded in 1989, Matchless Amps set out to be exactly that: matchless. The original founders set out to create a series of amps that would provide both a great amount of power and be incredibly versatile. Today, that dedication to quality still continues, and Matchless is known as one of the top amp companies in the world. They build some of the best sounding and most durable products available. Of course, they’re all hand wired by professionals using only the absolute best materials around.
Matchless has made some amazing amps over the years. Some of their top boutique amps were made during what is now referred to as the Sampson era of Matchless. This was the time between 1989 and 1998 when Mark Sampson, co-founder of the company, was very hands-on in designing amps. Some believe these amps are of better quality than the amps Matchless produces today, although that opinion is not shared by everyone.
Matchless produces two different classes of amps and a group of extension cabs. In the 15 watt and under category, you’ll find four different amps: the Lightning, the Spitfire, the Nighthawk, and the Baby. These amps may not put out that much power, but they’re sure to provide everything you need as far as small, light amps go.
In the 30 watt and over category, Matchless has many different amps available. This includes the Avalon 30, a hybrid amp that uses point to point wiring and circuit tracing. Then there are the Cobra and King Cobra amps, two single-channel amps. Another 30 watt option is the Avenger, an amp that melds British with American sound. Finally, in addition to their amps, Matchless produces a number of cabinets and extension cabs that feature some of the best quality materials around.
