Matchless Phoenix 35

Matchless Phoenix 35 The Matchless Phoenix 35 is somewhat similar to the DC-30 amp in that it features two contrasting preamps that give players some amazingly dynamic tonal options.  The preamp section uses two 12AX7s and an EF86.  The first channel uses a parallel-triode circuit.  The second works off the EF86 tube and a six position tone switch.  This allows for the high treble control to work with the master volume and the push/pull bypass feature to give a lot of tonal flexibility.  You'd be hard pressed to find a boutique amp that gives you quite as much dynamic control as the Matchless Phoenix 35.

In addition to these features, the Phoenix includes an effects loop, a speaker phase-reverse switch, an output impedance selector with 4, 8, and 16 ohms options, and two AC receptacles.  It makes use of two dissimilar Celestion speakers, a Greenback 25 and a G12H30.  The overall weight of the Matchless Phoenix 35 boutique amp is around 50 pounds, and the amp is small enough that it’s pretty easy to transport.  Of course, this is a Matchless product, and you know that means it’s not going to be cheap.  This quality amp will cost you right about $3,000 if you purchase it new.

The Volume Box lets you expand your amp's range of usable volume & dial in much more "open" & "driven tube" tones at lower/more manageable volumes (without driving your neighbors crazy!). It adds another much more responsive audio taper volume control to the circuit of your amp by simply plugging into the effects loop, no mods required whatsoever and no danger of harming your amplifier. It solves the problem of an EXTREMELY touchy volume knob on your amp, you know what I mean: zero has no volume but 1 or 2 is already MUCH too loud. The Volume Box takes care of that with its nice smooth Audio Taper Control, DEFINITELY the most cost effective investment you can make for your amp, A great way to discover a whole new range of tones on your amplifier! Simply plug it into the effect loop on your amp (thats the preamp out and power amp in jacks, you need a series effects loop for this device, it does not go between amp and speaker) and turn the amp UP and then adjust the overall volume with the volume box...this allows you to get more of that wide open tube tone at nice safe levels, it really works great! Works on all amplifiers (tube and solid state even) with a standard (series) effects loop regardless of ohm load/power rating/impedance! A must have secret weapon every guitarist should have in their trick bag! Works great live, at home, in the studio, wherever! This box is made of durable molded plastic (see my other listings for my super strong die cast aluminum ones), I use all quality components, very well made and absolutely WILL NOT HURT YOUR AMP! Yes you CAN still use your effects loop for other devices while using the Volume Box, just be sure to place the Volume Box last in the loop and everything will work just fine! Box is very simple to use, no batteries to change or anything like that, just plug and play!!! This is the best bang for the buck you will ever get for your amp! Cables not included, full moneyback satisfaction guarantee, thanks!!!
