The Story
The Matchless Hot Box is a valve-driven dual-channel preamp designed by Matchless founder Mark Sampson. Built entirely with point-to-point hand wiring, it delivers genuine tube gain and response in a compact format, offering everything from rich cleans through to harmonically complex overdrive and classic British-style crunch.
Unlike many drive pedals, the Hot Box functions as a true tube preamp, providing substantial gain, dynamic response, and the touch sensitivity associated with vintage Matchless amplifiers.
Features
- Dual-channel operation
- Clean and Crunch channels
- Fully valve-driven circuit
- Point-to-point hand-wired construction
120V Power - requires step-down transformer.
