Vintage 1970s Matamp Orange GT100 100w Valve Amplifier Head

Vintage 1970s Matamp Orange GT100 100w Valve Amplifier Head

We purchased this, alongside a few more amplifiers, from an RAF airbase. The owner had bought it new from Matamp in Huddersfield all those years ago, but it had fallen out of favour (how!?). This is one of the early 1970s GT100s, before they later changed to the GT120, and is in truly excellent condition. The serial number, 250, dates it to very early 1970s, with my guess being 1972. With it being sat for quite a while unused, the previous owner decided to take it for a service. The technician replaced quite a few components on the board, along with the 4x EL34s (now JJs), the mains lead, and one of the transformers. However, this transformer is a perfect replacement and kicks out a real great sound! The original Mazda ECC83s are there still.

Cosmetically, this is by far one of the best we’ve seen. There are hardly any scuffs at all and has been extremely well looked after. Another good thing about this is that it has the voltage selector on the back of the amplifier, meaning our friends across the pond can easily change it to USA voltage.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).

We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.

It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.

The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
