Matchless Phoenix Head FSOT - $2,300 (Newport Beach)

Definitely a rare bird, this is the DC30 preamp but with a el34 power section. 35 watts. It can still do those beautiful glassy cleans but also sounds completely massive - huge complex grind. This is one of the older 4 input models - you can jump the independent channels or use an AB Y for more control (for example use different pedals into different channels and then blend). Separate FX loop for each channel too.

FYI the ef86 channel volume knob just came loose - it's off in this picture, but I'll screw it back on.

Works perfectly - super clean 2003 model. Mullard output tubes. Aftermarket headshell.

In terms of trades, I'm mainly looking for a Laurel Canyon head - maybe a Clubman or Era 30.

Thanks!
