CLUBMAN
The Matchless Clubman has been described as a blend between the legendary DC30 and the Chieftain. Is this the perfect Matchless amp??? It could very well be! Featuring a pair of EL34’s and a preamp section sweetened by an EF86, this amp has both chime and girth in all the right ways.

OVERVIEW
11 Captures
Three Voicings
Two Different Speakers
MICS & PREAMP
For these captures I used a single Shure 545 placed traditionally in between the center and the edge of the speaker.
CABINET & SPEAKERS
This amp came with a unique 3 speaker cabinet that had two 10” Jensen’s and one 12” Celestion G12H. I captured the G12H as well as my G12M “6402” Greenbacks in the Vox Cab.

These presets are designed to be my go-to all around presets for a variety of guitars but sound particularly good with humbuckers.

These presets were made with the amp set at intentionally brighter and dirtier settings for a tone that’s aggressive and sure to cut through the mix!

These presets were made with Jimmy Rigs personal settings he had used on his Matchless Clubman a while back. They’re a touch brighter than the Original presets but not as sharp as the Bright presets. Note that I captured these with a G12H speaker, not to be confused with the G12M.

This preset is tonally matched to my Bad Cat Tone Cat “D AC – 1” preset and makes for a great stereo pair
