Collection: Matchless Amplifiers

Matchless Amplifiers are based in Los Angeles, California and have been building hand-wired boutique amps since 1989. It was initially founded by Mark Sampson and his partners Rick Perotta, Steve Goodale, and Chris Perotta, who worked on their first prototype, the C-30 prototype amp, on Rick’s kitchen table in LA.

Today, Matchless strives to build the best sounding and most durable tube guitar amplifiers on the market and are known for a signature British chime that you can't get from any other amp. Matchless offers a wide variety of models, led by the 15 watt Lightning and Spitfire. Two of our personal favorites are the DC30 and Chieftain. Midwood Guitar Studio is proud to be one of the top Matchless Amps dealers in the world!
