The DC-30 was the company’s first design and still leads the lineup.  We just received this one from Matchless, after a very long wait (over a year).  If you're in the market for a DC-30, you know how are they are to come by!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a DC-30 in a custom color - Dark Burgundy.  It's a killer look for a killer amp.  We are lucky enough to have a close relationship with Matchless and are able to score some seriously cool amps like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThirty very conservatively rated watts from a quartet of EL-84’s, through two channels, each with unique voicing and tone control layouts, produce a world of tone choices. True “Class A” configuration gives rich, complex harmonics whether played clean, mildly overdriven, or with all out power tube saturation.  This means you should sound great in any situation, in any music style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA long list of musician designed features includes:  highly interactive tone controls and circuitries unique to each channel, bypassable master volume, individual channel effects loops, cut control for high frequency shaping, high and low (30 or 15 watt) power settings, selectable output impedance and phase inverter switches allow the use of additional speaker cabinets or amps in-phase with the DC-30.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe preamp sections are based on a layout of two 12AX7’s in Channel 1 and one EF86 in Channel 2. The two 12AX7’s in Channel 1 create a parallel-triode circuit with interactive bass and treble. The one EF86 in Channel 2 consists of a high-gain pentode coupled to a six-position tone switch. Outright benefits include quick dial-in of new tones and an easy return to the settings you prefer.  Also “high treble” cut control, master volume, with a bypass feature that offers flexible control of the power amp section. The power amp is fed by a 12AX7 phase inverter, which drives four EL84 power tubes. The rectifier circuit gives you the flexibility of using one 5AR4 for a quick attack or you can use two 5V4’s for a smooth, round response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther professional features include an effects loop, half power-mode switch (a conservative 30 watts switching to 15 watts), output impedance selector (4, 8, 16 ohms) and a speaker phase-reverse switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSound on the 212 Combo is delivered through two dissimilar Celestion speakers:  a G12H30 and a Greenback 25, each specially modified through a proprietary MATCHLESS formula.  All of this is encased in an extremely sturdy hand-made 11-ply, 3\/4” Baltic birch cabinet, wrapped in richly textured black vinyl.  The finishing touch is the signature backlit nameplate and control panel, which lets you (and the audience) know when the power is on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNote:  because Truetone is so close to Matchless (just a short cruise down Santa Monica Blvd), they do not ship the amps to us.  We go there ourselves to pick them up in person.  Therefore, sometimes we do not get a box with it.  If you buy this amp from us online, it may not not come with an \"original\" Matchless-branded box.  Rest assured that it will be packed professionally and carefully, in a very sturdy box with appropriate packing material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePower:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e30 Watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChannels:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eControls Ch.1:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVolume, Bass, Treble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eControls Ch.2:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVolume, Tone, Cut control, Bypassable master volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSwitches:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eReverse speaker phase, Hi-lo power, 3 Position rotary impedance, 6 Position rotary tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePower Tubes:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e4 x EL84\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePreamp Tubes:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1 x EF86, 3 x 12AX7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRectifier Tube:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1 x 5AR4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDual inputs for each channel, Effects loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpeaker Configuration:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCustomized Celestion G12H30 and Celestion G12M Greenback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e83 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003clabel data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e21 x 27 x 10.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matchless","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43820858343667,"sku":"10MAT018","price":4300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-DSCF1634.jpg?v=1688149006","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/matchless-dc-30-amplifier-custom-color-dark-burgundy-guitar-amp-combo","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
