new matamp ordered, 4 watt green

Post by welshchris »

Last night I ordered a new matamp from the factory, it's a GT4 It'll look like this (only a green LED added for power).

I just ordered the head not sure if I'll go for a 1x15 or 1x12 cab yet (the pic is a 1x12). I need to wait for my wife to step away from the computer and credit cards again :hihi:
It's 4 watts, built on the discontinued little rock chassis (slightly bigger than a minimat). Valves are 2 ECC83s and a 6V6 designed to sound like a GT stack but only 4 watts :headbanger:

Anyway apparently they're only making 4 of them and 2 have gone if you want one I'd get in touch!

It should be with me within the fortnight I can't wait.

Very cool. A GT at bedroom friendly volume has to be a good thing. I reckon the 12 inch speaker would probably be best suited for a 4 watter.

Cool! My brother has a little rock, it's excellent for recording and can get pretty darn loud when you crank it.

Nice, Mini-GT! in GREEN. :cthulhu:

I thought about GT1, but it's just too big for me...
then THIS GT4 is perfect!

I e-mailed Matmap about it... wonder if they can make me one too.
are they pretty good about getting back the E-mails?
anyone close to Matamp factory? go out there and order one for me too. :mrgreen:

cheers guys. I think it will be just perfect for the house :dance:

Yeah Jim when I think about it a 1x12 with a decent speaker will be spot on, might even sneak in an order in the next day or so. As long as it can cope with the octave G tuning we have I'll be happy.

Muzz yeah apparenty this is the last of the last of the original green basketweave, infact I think of the 4 gt4s they only have enough to cover 2 in green. But fear not, there is a new green basket weave that Jeff says is very close to the original stuff :party:

JP they were really quick with emails yesterday. There's always the phone if you don't hear from them in a few days.

BEAUTIFUL & PERFECT for home use! :badlove:
Also, mousing the page up and down gives a cool visual effect with the green smearing and labels switching. Drug free.

Looks nice. I'm all set in the small amp department but I would jump on that if I wasn't. Nice score.
