Matthew Followill's Amplifiers
3:07 into this video, guitar tech Nacho Followill reveals that Matthew plays on an Ampeg R212R Reverberocket Amp, 2X12. He says he likes it for the master and the gain switch, you keep the volume low and get it "crunchy," or turn it up very loud (as they tend to keep it).
This video has an upload date of August 2009.

Complementary submission notes: Since many years back, the Followills have been using Matchless amps for their performances. However, opposite to Caleb, who recently plays his guitar with a pair of AC15C1 amps, Matthew Followill have been playing through a Matchless DC-30.

Used for Only by the Night, particularly on "Sex on Fire", as stated by producer Jacquire King in this July 31, 2019 interview with producer Warren Huart at 1:27:49.
Huart: And then the Selmer you were talking about that got used on the album quite a lot.
King: Yeah, I definitely know that it's on "Sex on Fire", I don't think it's on "Use Somebody". I think that was Caleb's Matchless that we used on "Use Somebody". And that's also the "Let It Go" song of James Bay, that's the guitar amp that was used for that.
