The DC-30

The DC-30 is a two channel amplifier that was the first amplifier introduced by the Matchless Company. It comes in various colors but the standard is grey with the cabinet and handle in black with the knobs and logo in white. It incorporates the same hand wired construction using the same Class A tube design as all the Matchless Amplifiers the company makes. The sound quality is incredibly rich and you can feel the punch of the sound from the classic chime to the crunch. The power reduction feature lets the musician play on this amplifier indoors where volume has to be a consideration. The attention to details both inside and out and the rugged construction with versatile and responsive tone makes this amplifier second to none.
