The Matchless CH-212 Chieftain is a guitar combo amp that delivers 40 watts of power and has two 12" speakers. It is a tube based amp and has a 1/4 inch input in the front to plug your guitar in. It has a good amount of parameters including knobs for Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble, Brilliance, Master Volume, and Reverb.
UTILIZATION
The make up of the Matchless CH-212 Chieftain is pretty easy to follow, as all of the parameters are pretty basic and found on a lot of different guitar amps. It is extremely easy to get a good sound from this amp as the inherent sound is very warm and rich. I don't have a manual for this amp, but it is easy enough to use that you don't need it if you don't have one.
SOUNDS
The Matchless CH-212 Chieftain is great for all types of music, but I use it mostly for rock and pop. I use this amp mostly with a Fender Strat and some modulation effects and delay sometimes, and always get an awesome tone for recording or for live shows. This has both a great clean sound, as well as an awesome built in overdrive sound. Overall, a great sounding guitar amp that is suitable for pretty much any style of music that you would want to use electric guitar in.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Matchless CH-212 Chieftain guitar combo amp for about two years and have found it to be one of the best combo amps out there. Matchless makes high quality, hand wired mics that although are expensive, are aimed at professionals that are looking for the best tone available. I can't say enough about this amp and its tone, and Matchless amps in general. All in all, the Matchless CH-212 Chieftain is one of the best combo amps out there in my opinion.
