Matchless Avalon 30 1x12 Combo Amplifier

Experience the unmatched clarity and dynamic response of the Matchless Avalon 30, available now at Palen Music Center. This 30-watt, 1x12 combo amplifier is a testament to Matchless's commitment to superior tube tone, built with an innovative hybrid construction method that combines point-to-point wiring, circuit tracing, and turret-style construction. This meticulous attention to detail ensures a robust and reliable amplifier that delivers truly exceptional sound. The Avalon 30 captures the essence of classic British amplification, offering a versatile platform for players seeking everything from sparkling cleans to rich, harmonically complex overdrive.

At the heart of the Avalon 30's remarkable tone are its carefully selected tube complement. Featuring a quartet of EL84 power tubes, this amplifier delivers the characteristic chime and midrange bite that British-voiced amps are renowned for. The EL84s contribute to a dynamic and three-dimensional sound, allowing your playing nuances to shine through. The preamp section, loaded with 12AX7 tubes, provides a wide range of tonal possibilities, from pristine clean tones at lower volume settings to aggressive, singing overdrive as you push the volume. A 5AR4 rectifier tube further enhances the amp's vintage feel, contributing to a natural sag and touch-sensitive response that musicians crave.

Whether you're looking for crystalline cleans, bluesy grit, or classic rock crunch, the Avalon 30 responds beautifully to your playing style and guitar's natural voice. Its intuitive controls, including Volume, Bass, Treble, and a Push/Pull Master Volume, make it easy to dial in your desired sound. The "Cut" control acts as a global high-frequency filter, allowing you to fine-tune the treble response for different guitars and playing environments, just like on classic British amps. With its robust construction and exceptional tonal characteristics, the Matchless Avalon 30 is an amplifier designed to inspire.
