Re: Is there a market for this?
I've heard that too. That's actually why my dad bought his Bad Cat Black Cat without reverb (I don't think it really needs it). When you crank it up, it gets this natural thing going with it.

Absolutely....that's the sort of thing that would cause me MUCH debate and probably MUCH distress among my family when it showed up.
Gotta have reverb though...tone suck or not...I just can't stand not hearing reverb.

Re: Is there a market for this?
I talk about gain a lot, and probably get associated with that, but I'm really primarily a strat player, using a fat clean and plexi type tone most of the time.
My main prerequisite for an amp is a tight and big sounding low end, and highs that breakup smooth, not ratty. If an amp has a farty low end, it's the last time I ever plug into it. Marshall type amps tend to have tighter lows than Matchless, so I try hard to get the Matchless sounding great......with tubes.
Once that's done, there's almost no clean amp that can equal it.
If you create an amp like that, just focus on getting the lows to stay tight, no matter what the tonal character is like, and it'll be a great amp.

Yep I clapped my hands when I heard our amp as a head, without the damm reverb, just the presence instead, it gave me that instant good firm bottom I like for both clean and dirty sounds, no more combo flubs
Not that the combo is flubby, but compared the to head with a closedback...ah my kind of sound instantly.
With all that said, the only Matchless I like is the Phoenix head, the rest is simply just not my thing at all.

Re: Is there a market for this?
Scott, I'm holdign out for the amp I haven't found yet
30 watts max
1. Clean with lots of headroom
2. Classic Crunch (ie ACDC to VH)
Note that I avoided attaching the word Fender to #1 or Marshal to #2 because I dont want to get into a tube war- If leaving reverb out helps keep the cost down, then leave it out-
Chubster is the closest I have found yet, but still waiting
Thanks for asking-
Michael

Re: Is there a market for this?
I picked up this Aiken Invader (18 watt plexi voiced hand wired, blah, blah, blah) a few weeks ago and put it up for sale the next day because of the flubby low-end. That's the problem with buying an amp that is unavailable to try out first. I doubt I'll ever buy another without hearing one first.
