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

Happy Jack Posted July 7, 2013 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 ... Quote
tayste_2000 Posted July 9, 2013 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
Noisyjon Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Jack, you gigging the Matamp anytime soon? Would love to come and hear one in action! ATB, Jon Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted July 9, 2013 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
Happy Jack Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 My settings on Saturday, playing through a Barefaced stack of Midget + Compact (no tweeters): [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Equipment%20and%20stuff%20CURRENT/Matamp_zps76e8c9ce.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Equipment%20and%20stuff%20CURRENT/Matamp_zps76e8c9ce.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote
Billy Apple Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 Exact same front as my GT200, but mine's sans effects loop. No stand-by? Quote
Billy Apple Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 Can't resist it... All after the service the other day [size=4] ....[/size] [size=4][/size] Quote
Mikey R Posted July 12, 2013 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

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
