Mr. Foxen Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 [quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1339504045' post='1689376'] Does anyone know who the administrator for the Matamp forum is, really want to join but had my account held for like 5 days so far. PITA [/quote] Takes ages, my mate had trouble. PM username, I'd guess its same, but don't want to confuse matters if it isn't. Quote

Its a million times better than your old one. Such a huge warm deep sound, very musical sounding if that makes sense! (You know what i mean).

The feedback was completely unsolicited.

Adam Wiseman Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Hi all, I had started my own topic then found this one so thought I would add a pic of my gear here as well, share the mat amp love. [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/Basswise/IMG_0265.jpg[/IMG] Quote
discreet Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Very nice indeed! But I think you should fire your carpet consultant. Quote

longtimefred Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 christ Quimby that Meat DI sounds good and that was when it wasnt working properly. Im very VERY interested in hearing this running properly. I cant figure out how you are running it with your rig. Are you plugging into that then from that into the GT200? Doing that does it give you an extra load of pre amp to use, gain etc. What bonus's does it give you compared to just the GT? Also, PM me if you dont want to tell but how much was it? I might be very tempted to run one along side my V4 instead of the sansamp. Will Quote

longtimefred Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 these Matamp green 4x10s are just the best aint they! I proper want another one. Quote

Will [/quote] Hi Will these sound clips are when i first got it, they are recorded with no eq as the bass knob was not working at the time and that made the treble be to harsh so i had that off to. I run it as bass to d.i. then patch it into the gt00 then i run it so the d.i. sound is seperate from the gt200, it has an out on the back so you can run it into a slave or preamp fx loop of a amp. I dont need to run another preamp into the gt200 as it's perfect. so yeah those clips were just the bass d.i. with no eq I just had it modded at the factory to get the new gt200mk2 preamp so its now got an extra valve and a new gain section and a mid knob. if you go up to the factory and try it out if you like and ask them about a price. mine cost a wee bit as i have had it modded Edited July 10, 2012 by quimbymeat Quote

[/quote] Hi Not really had a good session to test the 4x10 out since purchasing it but from the little go that I have had with it it seems to have more bottom end, power and punch. I really think that being non ported makes a big difference as well. How much did the mods to your gt200 cost if you don't mind me asking ? Pm me if you would rather discuss that way. Cheers Quote
quimbymeat Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 It was th bass d.i. that i got modded not the gt200, Andrew said you can't mod the older gt200 but it's still the perfect head anyways Quote

paulflan0151 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 what are the custom options like for matamp amps? I'm thinking more along the lines of EQ voiceing rather than finish. Might take a trip down to the factory, it's only a hour away for me. Can anyone give me a out line of the amps tone? I'm sure they sound great. Thanks Quote
quimbymeat Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Just call Andrew at the factory he will tell you everything Quote

[/quote] After playing through it more tonight I have to say that it is an amazing cab! way more power and mids than the orange, an overall more refined tone. Quote
paulflan0151 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 taking myself to the Matamp factory on Friday. Better chop the credit card up now ;-) Quote
tayste_2000 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 Ha me too going for a re-valve and service of the GT200. Maybe I'll see you there Quote
paulflan0151 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 LoL, Maybe we will. What are they like then these Matamps? Been wanting to get my hands on a proper valve amp for a while now. How would you discribe the tone? Quote
