If you are looking for a Matchless or AC 30 look no further this is as good as it gets. After creating and founding the guitar amp brand "Matchless" Phil Jamison began making his own guitar amps at home. Each one of his amps is hand signed, numbered and dated. You are bidding on #9. The ninth amp he ever made. This amp sounds stupid. It is designed to sound like an AC30, but as you probably imagine it has a personality all of its own. This amp comes with 2x12 speakers, a celestion vintage 30 and a Jensen blue alnico. To give you an idea how custom these amps are, the tone controls are not even labled, so you have to feel your way thru it. It has a built in tremolo circuit that sounds amazing. I hope you can get an idea of some of the really cool options from all of the pictures. This amp is in great working condition and sounds amazing. Here are some specs from the Jamison site: www.jamisonamps.com The eye catching ‘Jamison’ 2X12 combo is a 35 Watt, "Class A", cathode “self” biased amplifier. Powered by four EL84’s and a 5AR4 tube rectifier, it delivers a projection and clarity not found in most guitar amplifiers. Even in large rooms during live situations, the ‘Jamison’ executes without ever squashing out or getting lost a few feet from the speakers. Featuring two effects, it offers a deep plush spring reverb but never allowing any signal loss, which makes for flawless tracking. It also has an unsurpassable Tremolo effect tied to the power section. Driven by two 12AX7’s, the pre-amp has a “touch-feel-cushie” response which brings a wide range of dynamics and overtones. The controls consist of a pre-amp volume, treble, bass, and a push/pull bypass-able master. The effect controls are tremolo depth and speed, and reverb. As there are no markings on the control panel you must dial the amp with your ears instead of your eyes. Since the tone on a Jamison is much different from any other, it must be set by ear rather than using any preset standards. The two input jacks on the front are “Normal” and “High” inputs. The “normal” input gives a slightly softer and warmer sound, while the “high” input gives a top-end sizzle. High input will also give a heavy dose of treble. One of the major benefits of owning a Jamison is the flexibility it allows for different size venues. For performances in smaller venues, you will find the High/Low power switch located on the front panel. Simply flip the high/low power switch to low, shutting down two of the four power tubes. By reducing the amp to 15 Watts, this allows for warm power section distortion without blasting out the room. In full power however, one 2X12 Jamison supplies plenty of volume for the largest venues Place a Bid!
