Matchless Avalon 30 Fat Sound Guitars amp demo by Greg V

[mgsdini95]

Would this amp work well with a strat??

[lfrc2006]

Hi, I absolutely love this amp cleans! What about its headroom? Does it take pedals well (things like fuzz, tube drivers...) or is there any other matchless model with these cleans and more headroom?

Thanks,

LC.

Purchased the cd from Itunes after watching this demo. Such a refreshing listen.

It's really nice when you stumble upon someone you've not heard.

[GregVmusic]

@peteyboy54 Thank you very much for buying my CD! Glad you enjoy my music and I really appreciate the support.

[smileykim]

Thanks for the great presentation! Very helpful :)

[GregVmusic]

@smileykim You're welcome and I appreciate the good words!

[MatKiller1197]

so this amp is only clean then it sucks there are also some stupid guys on ebay that bidded 2050 dollars for one matchless amp waste of money

[spanky2964]

Your such a well rounded player,whats the name of your band?Why do you call it a no-caster tele?

[haalkan]

Dear Greg, WHAT PICK DO YOU USE FOR ELECTRIC!? really curious!

thx, you rule

[GregVmusic]

@haalkan I use Dunlop Ultex .73 picks but will change depending on the tone needed. I also often play with the back rounded corners of the pick. The Ultex are great since they're clear sounding and last a long time.

you look like austin power... at least certain angle in this video.

[tylerdwells]

this sounds soooo goood.

[pleximanic1]

That amp and Greg's playing will make any guitar sound good.

[ThePabloreeves]

Amazing Playing! Amazing Tone. Thank you for the demo. Would a MIM Tele sound good too?

[musicfreak7171]

yo how much does that amp cause i want one and could u use it for a bass guitar

[hailmasch]

@musicfreak7171 For the love of god, don't buy this amp if you plan on using it for bass guitar.

[Aspinel100]

that amp is just perfect :)

[joelbyrne]

The Change in dynamic response at 5:38 is astonishing just from changing to the bridge p-up. Very very cool professional demo, definite thumbs up!

[GregVmusic]

@joelbyrne Cool thank you!

[MOSKII58]

greg, how do the avalon 30/35 match up with the excalibers? also,- i am pretty much

leaning toward getting an avalon, but i am confused as to whether or not to get one w/ a 2nd channel , is it just a matter of performing "live" that would require the additional channel or  are there more things to consider? thanx

[GregVmusic]

@MOSKII58 You should contact Matchless for more info. Tho channels can offer different tones all applications: studio, live, jamming...

[lilnetty2]

what do you use for an amp, Mr Greg? 

[GregVmusic]

@lilnetty2 Currently 'm using Swart AST PRO and Atom. Tungsten Crema Wheat and Mosaic. Bogner Duende. '66 Fender Princeton Reverb.

[telecasterman18]

I love those matchless amps. Great playing dude!

[GregVmusic]

@telecasterman18 Thanks!

[GibsonSGspot]

[fransavoy]

[GregVmusic]

@fransavoy Thanks! SM7 close mic into Chandler Ltd. 1 pre. Cascade Fat Head II into Martech MSS-10 pre. No eq added in post

[miller434]

sounded like some shining star from ewf with the sg

[FatSoundGuitar]

Great demo Greg! Thanks so much for doing a particularly great job showcasing the Avalon for us!

[GregVmusic]

@FatSoundGuitar Thanks very much!

[willievega]

Great groovin and feel.

[GregVmusic]

@willievega Right on, thank you!

[BluesPossessed]

Great demo & lovely tones !

[GregVmusic]

@BluesPossessed Thanks very much!!

[malcatron]

What a cool looking little amp! Sounds great too.

Loving "Wicked Game", great playing as always...

[GregVmusic]

@malcatron Thank you, when I dialed up that cleanish tone it reminded me of the clarity sound of Wicked Game. A touch more reverb was needed for sure but I was making sure to not bury the primary guitar tone. It's fun to fake the Strats trem part on a Tele! Just add some extra reverb and/or delay. That original Wicked Game intro is a stunning piece of guitar artfulness by James Wilsey, incredible player he is!

[thesilverfox]

8:15 Woaw, I looove this sound ! Congrats, very nice demo ! *****

[GregVmusic]

@thesilverfox Thank you!

[Bobbybookoo]

Greg V. playing Chris Isaak... two parallel universes of coolness just collided. Dig it!

[GregVmusic]

@Bobbybookoo Ha-ha! Thanks!

[JenisonShorty]

Sounds great Greg.  That 335 is too cool.

[GregVmusic]

@JenisonShorty Thank you very much, I've been diggin' the 335....
