The Chieftain is MTCH’s take on the best of both worlds – Plexi and VOX. The amps character is similar to a plexi, but has more clarity in the mids, chime that is reminescent of a VOX, while being a bit softer, more refined and compressed than say a 50W plexi.
At the same time the extra oomph from the EL34 power stage gives it more authority and bottom end compared to an AC30, while being not strident as the AC50’s tend to be, in part thanks to the cathode biased output stage.
Its Mids control is extremely powerful and can go nbetween a scooped, balanced or mid forward tone, which together with the Treble knob allows to dial it in more into the plexi or AC30 territory.
Does beautiful 3d and punchy cleans, crunch and everything in between, it takes pedals really well too. This particular specimen is a Sampson era amp, which is by many considered the holy grail era of MTCH.
The set includes 24 DI captures ranging from clean to lead. Please refer to the table under the product pics for detailed info on each capture.

Has its own "thing"
I picked this up because I wanted something different, and this is the best kind of different. My favourite pairing is the edge, warm tone model with my Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound loaded Tele. I get lost playing this one, which is about the best compliment I can give!
Gret pack!
What an outstanding group of captures ! Highly recommended.
Really loved it!
What’s not to love about this amp capture? It sounds great with a range of guitars/pickups. A must have for your collection!
