Description
This Matchless Chieftain 2x12 Combo is in EXCELLENT overall condition. Cosmetically, it is very clean, only showing some very light wear. This is a used item, so it may have minor scratching and minor wear. Any significant marks will be mentioned in the description.
~Amplifier pictured is the actual one that you will receive~
This 1995 Matchless Chieftain 2x12 is from the original run of Matchless Amplifiers built in the 1990s.
From their current listing:
The Chieftain preamp utilizes two 12AX7’s for its interactive tone and two 12AX7’s for the reverb circuits. This highly flexible preamp circuit is enhanced by a very active mid control.
The preamp section is coupled to a pair of EL34’s power tubes via a 12AX7 phase inverter for tremendous power reserve.
The 40 watt Chieftain employs a tube powered spring reverb and a broad array of tone control knobs. The classic range of bass, mid, treble, brilliance and reverb controls provides quick access and visual confirmation of 5 tube based tone shaping parameters.
Exceptionally loud sound pressure levels can be attained with no appreciable loss of tone. Additional features include an effects loop and a switchable output impedance (4, 8, 16 ohms).
Sound on the 212 Combo is delivered through two Celestion G12H-75 Cream Backs wired parallel in a 4 Ohm Load. [This 1995 version utilizes 2x12" Celestion Matchless Special Design Signature Series Speakers]
All of this is encased in an extremely sturdy hand-made 11-ply, 3/4” Baltic birch cabinet, wrapped in richly textured black vinyl. The finishing touch is our signature backlit nameplate and control panel, which lets you (and the audience) know when the power is on.
The Chieftain will support almost any playing style and is considered an excellent all-purpose amplifier.
Note: After close inspection, this amplifier has light wear. (See pics)
All sales are final. No returns will be accepted unless the item shipped was incorrect or if that it was damaged in shipping.
