I like the looks of them all but that GT150...

I dunno what happened to the font on the GT120, they need to take care of that, though.

They just redid this recently. Apparently orders are streaming in and the factory is totally overwhelmed. I hope that turns out to be a good thing for them.

I'll admit, I haven't taken a look at the page for about a month or so but it didn't look like that last time. :oops:

I guess that's what happens when you do what the people have been asking for all along :mrgreen:

Maybe Orange will catch on and bring back the OR120... :wink:

I'd be lying if I said I never thought about getting a Matamp. Especially now, with the exchange rate as it is...

Good to see the prices are listed again. Where did the Greens come from and why weren't they listed before? I should revisit the Matamp history. Anyone willing to give a short history lesson about Green and the Matamp affiliation?

Taken straight from their site's "about" page:
"MATAMP TODAY
In 1991 Matamp was taken over by Jeff Lewis. Jeff has strived to maintain the heritage of Matamp, to continue to work to the same ethics as Mat and to constantly provide the highest level of service and customer support.

The decision to relaunch the GT120 was made but a new name was needed. Together with Jeff’s partner Liz, the name Green Matamp was suggested in honour of Peter Green. Green Amps were born in 1992.

The launch of Green Matamp inspired Cliff Cooper, who a the time was relaunching Orange with the help of Gibson, to contact Matamp to again produce Orange amplifiers. This partnership lasted from 1994-99."

YEP, completely revamped recently and making more videos and web appearances recently I've noticed. Love my 2 Mats.

Yeah, Green was always Matamp UK. There was a lot of bad joo-joo with some old US distributor that wound up with the Green thing getting weird. It seems as though Matamp is back on their game again, so hopefully that will stay on track.
