tick-tok said:hi there all, just registered to the forum and was quite interested in this topic. i bought an amp a while ago that is apparently a prototype for the matamp spirit. it has a matamp badge on the back (nothing on the front). this one is actually built on two circuit boards rather than p-t-p, but the traces are nice and thick! it has reverb but no attenuator. the circuit boards have matokai etched on them and the serial number is tc1. it has tokai ce etched into the undercover. controls are volume tone reverb. i think its a lovely sounding little thing and my go to practise/recording amp. i can post some pictures if anyone is interested?..now i need a nice old tokai lawsuit to go with it! peace groovers
Hi Tick-tok,
Welcome to the forum!
The name Matokai etched on the circuit board would go some way to confirm that the amps are a hybrid Tokai and Matamp.
Photo's of the amp would be really great.
As I mentioned in my earlier posting, the amp I saw at the North West Guitar show was one like yours, with reverb. It sounded great with the a Nigel Crinson relic tele going through it.
Regards,
Chris
