Best amp for D*A*M pedals?

Post by Coolhand78 »

What is the best amp for the capt's pedals? What is the capt's choice for amplification and wooden stringed thing? For r&d and testing...

My Swart digs D*A*M's as well, but there's much less headroom, so I have to dial it in a little more carefully.
Sickle, which Swart Amp do you have? I've always been intrigued by his work.

Well I was going to chip in with Matamp. I'm no expert, (as Matamp is all I've got!), but the pedals do sound pretty good through them.

If you're in the UK I would recommend calling them and doing the factory 'tour'. Well worth it.

My super reverb loves any D*A*M I throw at it.

They work great with every amp I've tried.

I believe :captain: uses a Matamp & Gordon Smith SG or a Strat. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

A good mate of mine is currently working for them... he's my old amp and pedal tech... i've never played one before...
i'm not into channel switching amps, i currently play a 66 bassman that i've had the circuit modified to be taken back to the AA864 circuit... its an amazing amp... if matamp did something like this then i might be interested...

when he gets back, we're contemplating starting a small amp/pedal co... but i'm not sure when he's due back yet... so it's a bit pie in the sky right now...
