▁to ▁take ▁the ▁rig ors ▁of ▁the ▁road ▁and ▁remain ▁completely ▁reliable ▁for ▁mus icians ▁who ▁played ▁night ▁after ▁night . ▁ ▁Chris ▁explains ▁" A ▁lot ▁of ▁work ▁went ▁into ▁those ▁early ▁pro tot ypes . ▁Mark ▁and ▁Rick ▁worked ▁t ire lessly ▁perfect ing ▁the ▁amp ' s ▁pre - am pl ifier ▁section ▁and ▁tone ▁circ uits . ▁They ▁were ▁very ▁passion ate ▁about ▁it . ▁They ' d ▁spend ▁hours ▁reverse - engine ering ▁older ▁transform ers ▁by ▁un ra vel ing ▁them ▁and ▁counting ▁every ▁turn ▁of ▁wire . ▁They ' d ▁experiment ▁with ▁different ▁speaker ▁combinations ▁and ▁speaker ▁modifications ." ▁ ▁As ▁part ▁of ▁their ▁research , ▁they ' d ▁solic it ▁working ▁mus icians ▁to ▁play ▁through ▁the ▁pro tot ypes . ▁By ▁listening ▁to ▁their ▁feedback , ▁they ' d ▁incorpor ate ▁those ▁des irable ▁changes ▁into ▁the ▁amp ▁design . ▁Rick ▁explains ▁" D uring ▁that ▁time , ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁components ▁were ▁getting ▁very ▁difficult ▁to ▁find ▁because ▁the ▁whole ▁industry ▁had ▁emb rac ed ▁sem icon duct ors ▁and ▁was ▁going ▁away ▁from ▁the ▁older ▁vac u um ▁t ube ▁technology . ▁Most ▁of ▁the ▁well ▁known ▁t ube ▁manufact ur ers ▁had ▁either ▁shut ▁down ▁production ▁or ▁sold ▁off ▁their ▁tool ing ▁to ▁other ▁countries . ▁We ▁had ▁to ▁h unt ▁down ▁and ▁purchase ▁N OS ▁( new ▁old ▁stock ) ▁tub es ▁that ▁were ▁w are h oused ▁in ▁small ▁lots ▁across ▁the ▁country . ▁We ▁also ▁had ▁to ▁import

▁tub es ▁from ▁other ▁countries . ▁O ften , ▁those ▁tub es ▁had ▁a ▁very ▁high ▁re jection ▁rate ▁and ▁didn ' t ▁make ▁the ▁grade , ▁many ▁had ▁to ▁be ▁scra pped ▁out . ▁We ▁had ▁difficulties ▁finding ▁other ▁components ▁as ▁well , ▁like ▁large ▁carbon - com position ▁resist ors . ▁Even ▁commer cially ▁available ▁transform ers ▁didn ' t ▁seem ▁to ▁do ▁the ▁trick . ▁In ▁the ▁end , ▁we ▁had ▁to ▁have ▁them ▁hand ▁w ound ▁in ▁small ▁batch es ▁by ▁a ▁private ▁company . ▁The ▁transform ers ▁were ▁by ▁far ▁the ▁heav iest ▁and ▁most ▁cost ly ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁amp ; ▁they ▁needed ▁to ▁be ▁because ▁they ▁were ▁the ▁heart ▁of ▁it . ▁It ▁wasn ' t ▁just ▁about ▁the ▁amp ' s ▁power , ▁it ▁was ▁also ▁about ▁deliver ing ▁p unch y , ▁clear , ▁complex ▁vo icing . ▁Natur ally , ▁the ▁am ps ▁were ▁very ▁labor ▁int ensive ▁to ▁construct . ▁Just ▁one ▁DC - 3 0 ▁amp ▁took ▁over ▁ 1 3 ▁hours ▁to ▁complete . ▁Because ▁the ▁ampl ifiers ▁were ▁so ▁cost ly ▁to ▁make , ▁we ▁didn ' t ▁know ▁if ▁customers ▁would ▁actually ▁buy ▁them . ▁After ▁all , ▁it ▁was ▁like ▁taking ▁a ▁step ▁backwards ▁into ▁an ▁older ▁" gar age ▁technology " ▁and ▁then ▁asking ▁more ▁money ▁for ▁it ." ▁ ▁As ▁pro tot yp ing ▁ne ared ▁completion , ▁Mark ▁and ▁Rick ▁came ▁up ▁with ▁the ▁name ▁M ATCH LE SS — because ▁that ' s
