TELE + MATCHLESS (Dialing In My Amp) 

Thank you for making these videos. I’ve admired your playing for a while and always loved the sounds you get. It’s been super helpful to get tips straight from you. I feel more confident as an electric guitar player after picking up some of your tips and tricks. I’m 16 and I play bass at my church (sometimes electric guitar for certain songs), but electric guitar is my favorite to play. I got my first Tele in October-thanks to the generosity of a lady from my church-and I hope to get a tube amp soon. I’m thinking Vox ac10c1. I played an ac30 once and absolutely adored it, but they’re probably too expensive for me. 😃 I’ve got some pedals, and I would love to eventually get a Les Paul (kid can dream, right?). But I love my Tele, and my fulldrive goes great with it. (sorry for such a long comment😃) Thank you for making these videos!!! 😋🎸

Love it! I’ve dialed mine to nearly the exact same settings for a while as you so cool to see us doing it the same.

Great vid, I have a chieftain and run the master at full and the gain at quarter the tones are unreal 🎸🎸

Fantastic sounding amplifiers!! I have a C30 as well but my amp doesn't begin to break up on that volume setting on the EF86 channel.

Loudest 30 watt you can buy. Almost too loud for gigs. Do you use an attenuator? I even have a Weber Mini Mass attenuator on my Matchless Laurel Canyon 20w

I remember the first time I played a DC-30. I was really confused. Coming from the normal channel on my AC30tbx made the Matchless seem so dang bright. To this day I haven't played one and been genuinely happy with the tone. It either sounded too clean and thin, or too gainy and boomy. The bass on those amps is weird too. There's so much of it, but it doesn't flub out. It's like someone swapped your 57 for a subkick. Thanks for the video, dude. I'll have to give this another watch next time I'm plugging into a Matchless.

Hi Daniel, do you usually dial in your tone using the bridge pickup, or where? This sounds pretty dark to be the bridge, so just curious.

Hey Daniel! Always been a big fan since I started looking into electrics, seeing what you add to Chris’s music is just amazing, whether on acoustic or electric. Just wondering if you have any tips on touring, or any experiences you could share? It would be inspiring! Thanks for these videos too!

magic tone ! you really know how to do this men !

Don't you need the volume atbaround 1o clock? Seems a bit low to me?

Awesome! Very helpful! Love your approach! So I have a question for you, it doesn’t relate to this video but my question is, what kind of delays do you use on the song “Our God.” Like are you using a dotted 8th delay or something else?

What are your thoughts on the Kemper? I use that as my main rig these days and love it. You had much experience using either that, the Helix etc?

So in a live setting where you’re switching guitars, are you basing the foundation of your sound off of the instrument that will be used for the majority of your set? Or is there a happy medium you look for where you’d only have to make minor adjustments on the pedalboard that makes the specific guitar come alive

Thanks for sharing your approach to setting man.

Daniel are you micing your cab here to get it into the computer, or are you using some kind of reactive load

What model Matchless is this?

PRinceton Reverb! One of the best of the best!

Great tone . Check out with the master knob . You will find a ton of sound. I owned this amp . Thanks

Thanks for posting these! What Matchless amp are you using?

You need to open that master a bit to drive the power section!

Are you using pedals on this video or just the amp?

16ohms?

Awesome!
