Description
Here is a very rare Matchless product from the early 1990's. Mark Sampson era RV-1 Tube driven reverb unit. Built like a tank. I think the color is called elephant grey. This unit provides subtle dimensional reverb with some output and tone shaping. This is not a big "hall" reverb. Adds a little depth and can get a very stiffer room reverb. Please DO NOT bid on this to "try" it and later want to return it. I cannot guarantee that this sounds like another RV1 unit you had in the past as all of these were hand built. This one seems to have a little less volume on the output compared to a buddy of mine's. May be just a tube swap? I know some people put AT7's in the place of AX7's for less output. I don't really want to access the tubes so I don't know what is currently installed. I am not an amp tech just a guy who likes cool stuff and am selling off some of my best gear that I am no longer using. I do not know if anyone changed any of the tubes. I can say that the unit works and it will be boxed up very securely. I even have an old Matchless box that I kept from a RV1 I had 20 years ago !! Again, please know what you buying and accept the nuances of a semi vintage piece of equipment. Serious bidders ONLY. Con't US sale and shipping to select international countries through eBay's global shipping program ONLY. US buyer must add shipping and sals tax.
