Matchless Thunderman 45W Bass Amp Custom Green Tolex
DESCRIPTION
Like all Matchless amps, the Thunderman will provide clean and usable headroom as well as plenty of raw bottom-end. The Thunderman’s compression circuit is provided for adding a cleaner attack for tight back-up passages as well as for hard string slaps.
The power amp is fed by a 12AX7 phase inverter which drives two EL34 power tubes which gives the amp punch and extremely sensitive touch response. The rectifier circuit is driven by one 5U4G for warm sag.
Other professional features include an effects loop, output impedance selector (4, 8, 16 ohms), a speaker phase-reverse switch and two courtesy AC receptacles. All of this is encased in an extremely sturdy hand-made 11-ply, ¾” Baltic birch cabinet, wrapped in richly textured black vinyl.
The finishing touch is our signature backlit nameplate and control panel, which lets you (and the audience) know when the power is on.
INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED
After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
