Kemper profiles seeking to recreate the sound of a Matchless HC-30 head through many cabinets, mics, speakers and boost pedals using new and NOS tubes!
The holy grail of EL84 amps. Class A goodness. This is an amazing amp that took on the goal of making a better Vox AC30. The Matchless C-30 series of amps bring the preamp similar to both the AC15 and AC30 in one head. Oh, and you can jumper them! SO many tones in this amp, it can take you back to days of the old or reinvigorate the sounds of today. Truly legendary amp. While based on the Vox circuit, it really is a sound all it's own.
H1 = Channel 1 top input
L1 = Channel 1 bottom input
H2 = Channel 2 top input

*****This Test Drive profile is a single sm57 on a single v30 speaker. With this profile I was trying the stock EF86 to see if I liked it compared to the $125 NOS Telefunken. ********
