Green Matamp... in a pedal? I totally might pull the trigger on this.

[Falloffthebonetone]

The guitar used is a tele style one from the comments.
Switchable OD/Distortion/Fuzz (toggles are a tone scoop and then a germanium/lifted/silicon switch)

The guy says it cleans up well and since it is made to order custom and he can actually throw on a blend switch to help retain clean tone and low end for bass or for more subtle "non-Sleep" stuff.

The demo isn't that extensive and the OD remains on full gain, but what do you guys think of it? Obviously some parts of the demo get super hairy when he starts stacking all 3 at once. Supposed to be $275 shipped.

They turned a one-channel tube monster into 3-channel fuzz box? They got pretty close with the tone but the controls and features are not very Green Matamp. I'd rather get the Holy Mountain.http://midnightamplificationdevices..../holy-mountain

The first one didn't have it. To me, it sounds like it was voiced by someone who'd heard recordings of a Matamp, but has never heard one in real life.

The Holy Mountain on the other hand brought back memories.

That's exactly how i felt. The first pedal sounds kinda like Dopesmoker or whatever but it doesn't sound like my actual green Matamp... haha

Ok so yeah, thought about buying the Holy Mountain, but decided 280 with shipping was just way too rich for my blood. BUT I forgot this was an Australian company... and it would be about $213 including shipping... so WOW.

$300ish is about right for truly awesome dirt boxes. Every time I've paid that much for a pedal it has met and exceeded my expectations.

Sorry to ask such a noob question, but ... Ive never had the chance to hear or play a Matamp. But, I know many on this forum cherish them. What is the appeal? If Im picking up things correctly, sounds like a good amp for stoner stuff??

The ones based on '70s Orange/Matamp designs have huge transformers and a very '70s full range sound. Huge low end without mud. Not really good if you want tight, crunchy tones. Too fat.

One of their unique features is a FAC/Depth control, which is basically a high pass filter. As depth is increased more lows are inserted, the clipping becomes more square wave and it shifts from crunch to chunk. At its lowest setting its a thousand pound Big Muff.

What he said.

On the Orange Overdrive 120 I played, my favorite FAC setting was second from the top. In that position it sounded like a really aggressive and grind-y Marshall, but I've always been a Marshall guy.

Sounds interesting! Be something cool in the arsenal, but probably not something Id want as my main amp. So, yeah,to get that in a pedal would be knockers!
