    Matchless Amplifiers' Avalon 30 1x12", foot switchable Reverb combo brought to you by FatSoundGuitars.com and Matchless Amplifiers.
    Notice how the foot switchable, parallel reverb design ducks the fundamental tone nicely simply adding ambiance without getting in the way or having any negative effect on the amp's tone versus a series type of reverb design.
    Greg's '61 Gibson Historic SG, Fat Neck ES-335 and Fender '51 Custom Shop Nocaster Tele are running directly into the Matchless Avalon via a Lava Cables Blue Demon cable. All guitars are loaded with the original, stock pickups.

    Hands down one of the best amp demos around. Very tasteful playing. Skills meet vibe. I have wanted a Matchless for a long time, now even more so! Damn you, Greg!

    I couldn't afford most of what Greg demos here, but I lurk on all these demos just to hear the man play. Greg, you paint the most exquiste soundscapes I've ever heard. Your attention to the detail in your sound is inspiring!

    A good 335 through a great amp on the edge of breakup might be the best sound my ears have ever heard! Referencing this vid but also others. (And my own:)

    Best amp demos on the net. Problem is, Greg makes them all sound good... which one to get?

  • @Ivayloi123
    @Ivayloi123 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think cleans on this amp are very identical to your Swart AST Pro cleans with same guitar . Maybe you have set the pickups low to achive this balance of electrical and wood tone from the guitar , but i must say that in every video your tele sounds amasing with every amp you play. Very fine tone with compression and wood resonating coming from your hands . I thing some how you are a Tone Freak : ) Those Alnico III sound actualy like Alnico 5 Pups ! Very sweat

  • @ThomasMetal75
    @ThomasMetal75 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I guess if you can afford an amp like this, you should be able to afford all those sweet Gibsons and the Fender Nocaster!

  • @ottawadrummer
    @ottawadrummer 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not the worlds greatest guitarist or anything but I think when you're going for a really clean tone a guitarist should back off on the volume a tad to avoid distortion when you pluck hard. Sounds amazing though, such a beautiful sounding amp. And I want to fall in love sounded so full and touching or soulful.

  • @AuditoryDriving
    @AuditoryDriving 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sounds awesome, but, man, your playing is heavenly :) Just watched the video for that reason :)

  • @markdesouza6044
    @markdesouza6044 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow, that's awesome. The amp sounds great and you do the amp a great justice with your playing. I was wondering how you were getting some of the tremolo sounds. Looks like get it from your movement swaying the guitar back and forth. Very nice!

    Can you guys please do a demo of another Matchless, such as the HC-30/Cheiftan? I've been looking at purchasing one literally for years but just can't find any clips that would make me want to drive all the way to Cary to try one out. Thanks!

  • @ChristopherFreedom
    @ChristopherFreedom 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    That will be my next amp.. a buddy of mine brought his over and I got to play thru it for a few hours.. fantastic! I am hoping to find a used Head.. if anyone has one and wants to sell it let me know. Thanks.. Great post.. Great amp and kick ass player!

  • @kidgloves2
    @kidgloves2 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @FatSoundGuitar I would really like to hear Greg play through the SC30. That's the amp I'm considering the most. The Avalon is my 2nd choice.

    @Grant_Ferstat 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Super fat tones @ about 8.24 with the tele!

  • @suburbanhavoc4997
    @suburbanhavoc4997 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    All combos should have an enclosure like this one. What I don't like about combos is that the tubes are usually upside-down(making them more likely to wiggle loose, as well as causing heat to rise to the electronics). I also don't like that most combos, by design, can't have a closed speaker enclosure. This design solves both of those problems.

  • @Brownie9s
    @Brownie9s 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Could you please describe the difference in tone between the C30 and the Avalon even though the Avalon is based from channel one of the C30. I loved the class A Matchless sound but found the C30 to piercing for my ears in the highs.

  • @SoloEpi
    @SoloEpi 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interesting construction, a combo that looks like a 1x12 stack... amazing tones though

  • @kidgloves2
    @kidgloves2 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wonder why the combo uses an 8 ohm speaker. Isn't the transformer meant to be run at 16 ohms? They could use a 30 watt 16 ohm speaker.
