For the top end, you might be able to give the Matamp lads a call and get them to change the tone caps and / or alter the gain of the input stage. They should be able to make you the exact amp youre after. If you do, bring hobnobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The "solution" to the toppy problem turned out to be outstandingly simple ... roll off the volume on the bass, which takes with it a fair bit of treble. I played with my bass volume on about half, which also allowed me to turn up the amp to [i][b]higher [/b][/i]than the very first notch. Astounding sensation, I played the whole gig wrapped in rich, creamy bass but without being unpleasantly loud. Too knackered to write more just now ...

tayste_2000 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Loudest 120w I ever heard, glad it's sounding the business for you, now you just have the imagine the 200w version on top of an 8x10 doing pub rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisyjon Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Jack, you gigging the Matamp anytime soon? Would love to come and hear one in action! ATB, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I have a feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more of that Matamp at the Dogs' gigs They are playing the George IV in Chiswick this Friday 12th, 9pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey R Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Are the depth and drive knobs actually rotary switches? Billy, did I play your rig at a bass bash the other year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 [quote name='Mikey R' timestamp='1373645657' post='2140176'] Are the depth and drive knobs actually rotary switches? Billy, did I play your rig at a bass bash the other year? [/quote] The depth and drive knobs notched. Depth is a tone switch, bassiest to the left, trebliest to the right. The drive is a pre-amp gain, increasing to the right. The new GT200 might have this on a smooth pot. I had my rig at last years SE bass bash, but alas it was not working, for the reasons explained in the OP. [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
