Matamp is a British valve amplifier manufacturer founded in 1964 by Mat Mathias in Huddersfield, England. The company built a reputation for hand-wired, point-to-point tube amplifier heads and speaker cabinets, and its early work produced one of its most enduring designs, the GT120. In the late 1960s Mathias partnered with Cliff Cooper of the Orange music store in London, and the two brands jointly produced Orange Matamp amplifiers before the partnership ended and the brands went their separate ways.
After Mat Mathias's death, the company was taken over by Jeff Lewis in 1991, and a sub-line called Green Matamp was launched in 1992, named in honour of Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac, who had been an early user of Mathias's amps. The Green Matamp GT120 and its variants (GT120MV, GT120NMV) remain the company's signature products, alongside a range of heads, combos, and matching cabinets.
Matamp is particularly associated with the stoner, doom, and sludge metal scenes, where its thick, saturated valve tone has a cult following. Notable users include Matt Pike of Sleep and Paul Michael Davies of Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard.
Matamp has 16 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Guitar Amplifier Heads, Bass Amplifier Cabinets, and Guitar Amplifier Cabinets. Their gear is featured by 26 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Electronic. Notable users include Chino Moreno, Matt Pike, and Brett Campbell.
