1994 Matchless Lightning 15 Small Box Sampson Era Burgundy
Amp collectors get a chance to affordably add a Matchless amp from the company's most sought after period when considering the Lightning models, while filling the unique EL-84 sound niche.
This early "small box" amp sounds amazing and offers simple control over tone and gain. It is built like a freight train, every solder is original throughout the circuit, it works perfectly, and is nearly free of wear thanks to the included cover..
Finding early pieces like this is a collector's dream. Lightnings in particular seem undervalued as compared to others in the line -- perhaps this is a good time to buy!
