In the clip below, I can hear Green. This is a very cool little amp, I love the tone. I would imagine even if Green was not the owner, these amps would be out of my reach.
A 1967 Matamp Series 2000 guitar amp head that was owned by the late Peter Green is up for sale. Played onstage and in the studio as Green shaped blues-rock history with Fleetwood Mac, the historic tube amp is being sold through Denmark Street Guitars – and if we were, say, Kirk Hammett, we would be calling them up right now.
The amp head is a real piece of history. As with many pioneering designs of that era, it was there when players such as Green established some of the most foundational tones for electric guitar. But for an amp that has seen a lot of action, it looks in excellent condition. The black vinyl covering is in excellent condition – the insides are pristine for an amplifier that was made a time when guineas, half crowns, and threepenny bits were all legal tender in the United Kingdom.
On the front panel, you’ll find Normal and Bright inputs, over-sized dials for Boost and Drive, Depth and Volume, with smaller controls for Bass and Treble, a power switch and a green lamp indicator to let you know the amp is on. You will also find contact details for Radio Craft in Huddersfield across the top of the formica front panel, which also tells you that design was every bit as important to amplifier history as it was to music history.
