The matchless sounded awesome, once it was a long way above bedroom volumes....

I'll email the original owner. Mine's a 2014 I think if it helps.Reg18 wrote:I would list my highlights for the day but there were just so many nice amps and guitars It is hard to narrow it down. Loved that Nocaster though! Molly can you tell me which pickups it had? I notice online they come with 51 Nocaster pickups in some and Twisted Tele in other versions, although I think the older versions had different ones again.
Great day, great gear and great like minded company!
I wish so very much that I could take up that offer...Molly wrote:Cheers chaps. Came away wanting a Mk.V.
Matchless anybody?

No worries. Will probably have decided if I'm keeping it over the next few weeks.Molly wrote:And there's the rub.sopachrga wrote:The matchless sounded awesome, once it was a long way above bedroom volumes....
On the Mk.V hunt. Keep me in mind if I've not got one if/when you decide to part with your one.
D'oh... I should have thought to say this earlier. The secret to the jube's full od channel is to dime the output master and use the lead master to control the volume level. At least that's what works best on mine. Downside is that it makes it tricky to switch channels as the output master is the one that controls the clean channel's level (so deafening clean if you forget to turn it down)... I just don't change channel...Mini Forklift Ⓥ wrote:Silver Jubilee IMHO was a little underwhelming, the clean channel sounded great as did the first OD channel. But as soon as the gain pot was pulled (which should have been the money shot) I was left feeling a little shortchanged? Seemed like there was a lack of bottom end and it all sounded a bit, well weak almost. Push it back in and oddly it sounded damn good, nice and full and a lot more bottom end to it.Molly wrote:New Mershall sitting next to me. On apro for the afternoon.
Looked beautiful though, as did the Matchless that was next to it
What didn't make sense was that the foot switch only changed the level of gain rather than swapped between clean and dirty. That job was left to the push-pull knob on the amp. It's such an obvious oversight. I loved the clean and the initial gain that the push-pull knob took it to but would expect to be able to access that from the floor. I suppose you're limited when you're recreating an old amp.Darth Sabbathi wrote: D'oh... I should have thought to say this earlier.

Huh, weird. Mine doesn't work like that... the fs switches channels. But I can only get the 'rhythm clip' (slight dirt on the clean channel) via the push pull knob. Or maybe that is what you meant...Molly wrote:What didn't make sense was that the foot switch only changed the level of gain rather than swapped between clean and dirty.

Yes. I think that's what I meant. I wanted to be able to change from clean to clip but couldn't. Wouldn't kill them to put two buttons on the footswitch.Darth Sabbathi wrote:

The big flaw is that it really isn't a two channel amp, as both channels share the tone and master volume controls... It's more a single channel amp with a couple of extra gain stages.
