Matchless Chieftain 2x12 Combo Amplifier – Used
The Matchless Chieftain is a boutique-class amplifier that has earned legendary status for its rich tone, handwired construction, and roadworthy reliability. Delivering 40 watts of all-tube Class A power through a 2x12" configuration, the Chieftain provides shimmering cleans, harmonically rich overdrive, and unmatched dynamics.
Equipped with EL34 power tubes, a versatile EQ section, and lush onboard reverb, the Chieftain balances British-inspired chime with American-style punch. It excels as both a stage and studio amp, with enough headroom for pedal platforms while still providing natural breakup at manageable volumes.
This used example is in very good condition, showing light cosmetic wear consistent with careful use. Fully tested and inspected by our in-house technician.
