2017 Matchless DC-30 RV

The Matchless DC-30 RV delivers the unmistakable chime, clarity, and dynamic punch that made Matchless amplifiers legendary. Hand-built in California with uncompromising craftsmanship, this 30-watt combo combines boutique-grade construction with vintage-inspired tone – a perfect balance of Vox-like sparkle and Matchless muscle.
Powered by a pair of EL84s, the DC-30 offers shimmering cleans, articulate edge-of-breakup tones, and rich overdrive with incredible note definition. The EF86 channel provides added harmonic complexity and touch sensitivity, while the 12AX7 channel offers more familiar jangle and grit. The onboard spring reverb (RV) adds lush, dimensional ambience, making this an extremely versatile amp for studio or stage.
True to Matchless tradition, the DC-30 features point-to-point hand wiring, premium components, and a rugged build designed to last a lifetime. Housed in the classic Matchless cabinet and loaded with a Celestion G12H30, it delivers the brands signature balance of sparkle, warmth, and authority.
This 2017 example is in excellent condition, fully functional, and sounds every bit as good as youd expect from one of the finest boutique amps on the market. Includes power cable and footswitch.
A superb opportunity to own a handwired Matchless boutique tone and build quality that have set the standard for decades.
