[LRS] Help Me Pick a New Amp Matchless, Morgan or???

deadpan · Feb 20th 2019

Hi All,

I have been contemplating on picking up a cleaner head to add to the archive.

Looking for thoughts and recommendations. The new Mesa Tweed is interesting as are the many different Matchless and Morgan amps. Tons to choose from and I have even considered a Komet Concorde but that is a in a slightly different realm.

Mesa TA series looks interesting also.

I will of course revisit the Pre Peavey Budda SD30 II that I already have.

Help!!!

Best,

Tim

Morgan, Benson, Matchless, the Mesa Transatlantic is a great pick as well.

The 3rd Power and the Divided by 13 amps sound clean and rich.

Was a hard choice but the decision has been made. Amp is on the way, along with the NOS tubes. This is going to be a good one! Really looking forward to it!

It's not just about the amp. The profile is only as good as the sum of the parts and this is something I take pride in. The right tubes make a BIG difference.

Remember, I own most all amps and there will be SO much to come. I take pride in matching tubes to the amp.

Mesa Transatlantic was the only model in the Amplitube Mesa add on that I bonded, with. I'd love to see a Profile version.

Tim, been busy, I'll get back to you on the IM questions you sent me. Life happens.

Life does happen as we all know

Was very close to the Mesa as I am a Mesa fan but there is a bit of a mystery about Matchless that I couldn't ignore.

The Matchbox should be here Monday!
