Description

The Matchless C-15 is a compact amp head built around the brand's hand-wired EL84 circuit, carrying the same chimey, dynamic British-American voice as Matchless's combos into a head-and-cab format. Its lower wattage class suits smaller stages and studio use, paired with any 8- or 16-ohm cabinet.

The Mojotone British 20 Watt Head is a hand-wired all-valve amp built by the well-known US parts and amp-kit maker, voiced after the classic British 18-to-20-watt EL84 tone famed for sweet, early breakup. Point-to-point constructed, it delivers chimey cleans and a warm, harmonically rich crunch at usable volumes, aimed at players wanting authentic vintage British tone with quality hand-wired build.
