Used Matchless Avalon 30 Reverb Combo

Condition: Very good condition. Amp shows some light wear, some minor blemishes in the tolex. Fabric on the handle has flaked out in spots.

The Matchless Avalon 30 Reverb Combo is a boutique, single-channel 1x12 tube amp that delivers the crystal-clear, dynamic, three-dimensional voice Matchless is revered for, and this used example (Serial #00322) is a chance to own that legendary tone. Rated at 30 watts and driven by a quartet of EL84 power tubes, the Avalon pairs that chimey, harmonically rich EL84 character with a generous five-tube 12AX7 preamp and onboard reverb, all through a 12" Celestion/Matchless Special Design speaker built to complement the amp's voicing. It's in very good condition, showing some light wear and minor blemishes in the tolex, with the handle fabric flaked out in a few spots — honest cosmetics on an amp that has plenty of life and tone left in it.

The control layout is elegantly simple and deeply musical: Volume, Bass, Treble, Cut, Reverb, and a Push/Pull Master Volume that lets you push the power section into sweet, saturated territory even at manageable stage or studio levels. Hi and Lo 1/4" inputs let you match the amp's gain to your guitar and playing style, while the built-in series effects loop makes it easy to run time-based and modulation pedals in the amp's sweet spot. Selectable 4/8/16-ohm outputs mean you can pair the Avalon with virtually any extension cabinet, giving this combo real flexibility as your rig grows.

From glassy, dimensional cleans to the singing, chime-laden breakup that EL84s are famous for, the Avalon 30 Reverb covers the ground that has made Matchless a benchmark for boutique tone. At 65 lbs., it's a substantial, road-ready combo built to anchor a serious rig. Whether you're a gigging player who wants an amp that cuts through with clarity and dimension, a studio owner after that unmistakable Matchless voice, or a collector drawn to the brand's boutique pedigree, the Avalon delivers (Serial #00322).
