Alonza Bevan of my favorite band, Kula Shaker, has used Matchless amps and his tone is incredible. I think he used a Thunderchief, which may be discontinued. I know nothing about Matchless amps other than that they produce awesome, warm, tube tone. Whoever gets this will no doubt be pleased.

Just a heads-up, if your situation has decent PA's available, you could run this Head into a Two Notes Opus (on the right input setting on the Opus - it handles up to 200W, IIRC) and then run the output to a cab for your stage monitor (or a load box if no cab) and use the Opus DI to give the full preamp and power amp tone to the PA.
The Opus has extensive optional EQing available as well as optional cab sims (Preamp and Power Amp modeling as well, but I don't think you'd need those using this Head).

Well said John - a use case we see quite a lot within our user communities!
