Beware though, only ring Jeff if you've got an hour to spare, he does like a chat! Sound as a pound. Incidentally, the guitarist in a band we played with in Leeds years ago had a 50w Matamp head. The sound was so intense our drummer had to go outside to throw up. Truly gut-loosening. [/quote] were those bass 4x12 cabinets? any good?

[quote name='Mikey R' timestamp='1361971298' post='1993787'] Personally, I think it would be a real shame if Matamp went entirely down the hybrid route and we lost the GT200 from the catalogue. There really is something special about output valves. [/quote] They will have a new website up soon, the Matamp gt200 is still going but it's bigger and better.

I thought my old gt200 was perfect but the new one makes it sound like a toy.

[quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1361803906' post='1991098'] Cool, glad I wasn't imagining it. I was (and still am) pretty pretty interested in the concept of the amp. For me though, I would probably end up going for the all valve option, complete with added weight! [/quote] I have the new gt200 in Glasgow, if you drive you can try it out at a practice space. it's the best amp ever.

Look behind the faceplate,it's all digital. handwired preamp under the hood.

i will not show the guts as that's cheeky but i can show you the amp

pm me your email if you want to see a photo if the matamp mini bass. i seen it the other day. digital power section and handwired preamp. stage switch to use it as a head and studio switch to bypass the power section and use it in the studio as a tube d.i. i also tried the bass 400

cheers mate

Yeah billy i don't have a bass cabinet at the moment so i want to get a Matamp 810
