- It doesn't get a whole lot better than this folks. The ultimate clean amp, the ultimate pedal platform, the ultimate mid-gain amp, etc. The Matchless HC-30 is the flagship of the lineup with a very conservatively rated 30 watts from a quartet of EL-84’s. True “Class A” configuration through two channels gives rich, complex harmonics whether played clean, mildly overdriven, or with all out power tube saturation. The preamp sections are based on a layout of two 12AX7’s in Channel 1 and one EF86 in Channel 2. The two 12AX7’s in Channel 1 create a parallel-triode circuit with interactive bass and treble. The one EF86 in Channel 2 consists of a high-gain pentode coupled to a six-position tone switch. There is a super addictive quality to playing through such a touch sensitive amp that lets your style & expression shine through.
