DAVE HUGHES GT120 & SLAVE UNIT

"These are my ageing 80's Matamp Quasars.!!! From the top; Quasar 100, Quasar 200, Matamp 2 way Crossover, Quasar 250, Quasar 500. These are Superb Matamp Mosfet Stereo Power Amps. They can be driven Megahard with the VU meters at full and the clip lights on night after night! with little or no distortion . These are fan cooled and also incorporate DC and thermal protection.I dont think many were made but I really wish these Excellent hard working amps were still available."

"Here are the pics of my Matamp GT120 and 1 of my valveslaves. This Amp has always sounded Loud n clear .its original except for a full revalve and a mod to make it a detachable mains cable."

"This is my 1972 Matamp SL200 Valveslave.Its basically working and is Very Very Loud!!
I've not restored or re-capped it yet as id really like a circuit before i start.Its massively heavy so i havent gigged with it.....yet! It sounds fantastic even on its original KT88 valves and components.This is ONE OF FOUR!!!! that came from the barn of a local farm!!! Unused since the farm ceased barndances in the Mid 80s.The Main Amp was a Matamp - Orange GT200 valve guitar amp heavily modified with an extra valve and 3 more inputs for mixing "gram"...This powered 2 of the 8 speakers the remaining 3 SL200 Valveslaves powering the remaining 6!!!!Id have loved to have heard this installation when it was being used. The remaining 3 amps are in preservation with a friend of mine...not sure what he intends to do with them."

"This is one my Matamp Clubman 1's, this is a Late one with a modern case with no white pipeing. It is a Mosfet version which sounds great but gets Megahot when is use.As you can see its being used as a slave here and spends most of its time with the Clipping light flashing away all night!. I own a Mosfet version, serial # 334 also a Bi-polar version, serial # 238. The Mosfet one is louder but clips with little audio distortion. The Bi-polar one is not quite as loud but the power stage never distorts...if you want overdrive turn up the channel gains..that does the trick! These amps are great for guitar / pa or disco use."
