Matchless Phoenix 35 Combo

This Matchless Phoenix 35 Combo is in Mint/Like-new condition, no repairs or mods- beautiful two-tone Red/Black tolex! This is the 2 x 12″ combo format, EL34-based with dual channels- each having a different voicing. Sounds HUGE!

-Includes a very nice (not to mention DURABLE) road case

Like the DC-30, the Phoenix utilizes two contrasting preamp channels that each provide unique and dynamic tonal characteristics. The preamp section is based on a layout of two 12AX7s and one EF86.

Channel 1 is a parallel-triode circuit with interactive bass and treble, similar to the C-30, but with a wider range of tone control. Channel 2 consists of a high-gain EF86 pentode tube coupled to a six-position tone switch. A “high treble” cut control in conjunction with the master volume with a push/pull bypass feature offers flexible control over the entire power amp section.

The power amp is fed by a 12AX7 phase inverter which drives two EL34 power tubes which gives the amp punch and sensitive touch response. The rectifier circuit is driven by one 5AR4 for quick attack.

Other professional features include an effects loop, output impedance selector (4, 8, 16 ohms), a speaker phase-reverse switch, and two courtesy AC receptacles.

Sound on the 212 Combo is delivered through two dissimilar Celestion speakers: a Celestion G12H-75 Cream Back and a G12M-65 Cream Back. All of this is encased in an extremely sturdy hand-made 11-ply, ¾” Baltic birch cabinet, wrapped in richly textured black vinyl.

The finishing touch is our signature backlit nameplate Logo glows red on the Phoenix.
