{"product_id":"matchless-lightning-reverb-usa-2004","title":"Matchless Lightning Reverb Combo - USA 2004","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"256\" data-end=\"674\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThe Matchless Lightning has become one of the benchmark boutique amplifiers of the modern era. Introduced as a compact single-channel design inspired by the legendary Vox AC15 Top Boost, the Lightning quickly earned a reputation for delivering far more volume, headroom, and touch sensitivity than its modest 15-watt rating would suggest. Built without compromise, it remains one of Matchless' most celebrated designs.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003eBuilt in 2004, this Lightning Reverb carries serial number G00104 and showcases the meticulous craftsmanship that established Matchless as one of the world's premier amplifier builders. Hand-wired throughout using a point-to-point terminal strip layout and housed in a void-free Baltic Birch cabinet, every component is chosen with reliability and tone in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1609\"\u003eAt its heart is a pair of cathode-biased EL84 power tubes driven by three 12AX7 preamp valves, producing the unmistakable British-inspired voice that Matchless is famous for. Clean tones are rich and three-dimensional with exceptional harmonic complexity, while pushing the volume introduces smooth, articulate overdrive without sacrificing clarity. Thanks to its oversized transformers and exceptionally robust power supply, the Lightning projects with far greater authority than a typical 15-watt amplifier, making it equally comfortable on stage or in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1611\" data-end=\"2003\"\u003eCompleting the package is a tube-driven spring reverb, adding depth without overwhelming the amp's naturally articulate voice. Combined with the highly interactive EQ and master volume, the Lightning Reverb is capable of everything from shimmering cleans to harmonically rich edge-of-breakup tones that have made Matchless a favourite amongst professional players for more than three decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2024\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2024\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2036\"\u003eYear: 2004\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2059\"\u003eSerial Number: G00104\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2061\" data-end=\"2094\"\u003eModel: Matchless Lightning Reverb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2096\" data-end=\"2177\"\u003eAmplifier Type: Hand-Wired Tube Guitar Combo\/Head \u003cem data-start=\"2146\" data-end=\"2177\"\u003e(adjust to suit your version)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2209\"\u003eOutput Power: 15 Watts Class A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2235\"\u003eChannels: Single Channel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2237\" data-end=\"2267\"\u003eInputs: High \u0026amp; Low Sensitivity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2269\" data-end=\"2292\"\u003ePreamp Tubes: 3 × 12AX7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2294\" data-end=\"2315\"\u003ePower Tubes: 2 × EL84\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2317\" data-end=\"2332\"\u003eRectifier: 5AR4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2334\" data-end=\"2387\"\u003eControls: Volume, Bass, Treble, Master Volume, Reverb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2422\"\u003eEQ: Interactive Active Tone Stack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2424\" data-end=\"2457\"\u003eReverb: Tube-Driven Spring Reverb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2459\" data-end=\"2483\"\u003eSpeaker Outputs: 4Ω \u0026amp; 8Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2485\" data-end=\"2516\"\u003eCabinet: Void-Free Baltic Birch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2518\" data-end=\"2572\"\u003eConstruction: Point-to-Point Hand-Wired Terminal Strip\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2574\" data-end=\"2609\"\u003eHardware: Chickenhead Control Knobs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2611\" data-end=\"2653\"\u003eFeatures: Illuminated Matchless Front Logo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2655\" data-end=\"2699\"\u003eCrafted in: Los Angeles, California, USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matchless","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48270971404441,"sku":"26126","price":4295.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_90892a99-0763-4f24-80a6-1bf5c471f25f.png?v=1782957716","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/matchless-lightning-reverb-usa-2004","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
