Avalon 30
A 2025-introduced single-channel combo built with the same point-to-point methods and parts as Matchless' traditional amps, for crystal-clear, three-dimensional tone.
About this amp
The Avalon 30 is a newer single-channel Matchless design that uses the same hand-wired construction and transformers as the rest of the line. Its 4x EL84 power section and interactive bass/treble controls with a push/pull master volume and cut deliver clear, dynamic tone. An effects loop and dual speaker outputs round out the feature set, and a plexi front option is available at no extra cost.
