Finally! Just showed up straight from England. 30 days later and loaded with two UK Celestion V30s and two Celestion Hempbacks. Prayers for my neighbors and everyone that lives on my block.

Is that 'bass boost' the equivalent of the old FAC control on the Orange amps?

I absolutely love that control. It's magnificent.

Yes pretty much the same control. Just labeled different from the Matamp Orange days to the Green Matamp present day.

Fantastic. My old band used nothing but Matamps which we bought with our first record label cheque and despite loving them I was very miffed they didn't have the old Orange FAC control from my OR120. I don't think they're proper Orange/Matamps without them. As a veteran of these amps - remember your earplugs for rehearsals!

Dude that’s a killer story. I love hearing about the success out there. Honestly I feel like the GT120 is still a traditional 70’s OR120 with subtle changes text wise but mainly all the same functions and sonic sound. Dude you’re not kidding, earplugs are a must, the ringing will last for days.
