Classic EL34 British tones aplenty, the Matchless Chieftain is one of the most powerful and versatile amplifiers on the market, and has enjoyed continued success among the vast landscape of boutique tube amplifiers for nearly 30 years.

This 2021 Matchless Chieftain 1x12 combo just arrived on consignment, and it's a reminder of just how great these amps are and have been for years. From big, chimey cleans to roaring overdrive, the Chieftain is one of Matchless's most versatile designs to date.

The Chieftain preamp utilizes two 12AX7’s for its interactive tone and two 12AX7’s for the reverb circuits. This highly flexible preamp circuit is enhanced by a very active mid control. The preamp section is coupled to a pair of EL34’s power tubes via a 12AX7 phase inverter for tremendous power reserve.

The 40 watt Chieftain employs a tube powered spring reverb and a broad array of tone control knobs. The classic range of bass, mid, treble, brilliance and reverb controls provides quick access and visual confirmation of 5 tube based tone shaping parameters.

Exceptionally loud sound pressure levels can be attained with no appreciable loss of tone. Additional features include an effects loop and a switchable output impedance (4, 8, 16 ohms).

The Chieftain will support almost any playing style and is considered an excellent all-purpose amplifier.

Missing one back panel screw. Includes slipcover.
