I'm playing a 1996/1997 Matchless DC30 (Samson Era) and it defies the laws of physics. It retains the classic and warm quality of a Vox AC30 but with an insane punch and dynamic range. I'm using a 1973 Fender Strat with Lundgren Monterrey Grey pickups. The amp features the two stock custom built V30 Speakers with 6402 cones.
