The amp was built from a kit from Trinity Amps in Toronto, the tranny was bought from the place that used to sell them to matchless...
Anybody ever play a clone anything? This amp is built like a tank! Single channel distorts really nice! Controls are interactive as in If I fuck around with the bass knob it affects the treble (Actually its pretty cool how it works) This amp rocks!!!

This is how I bought it, so NO Doog I wont be putting a personalized name/title there... No different than putting a Fender logo on an after market neck, I guess!
It is a Matchless
Lightning clone.....

I am! Big fan of clones! The name plate I'll just leave it like that because again, thats how I bought it! If I do sell it I wont try passing it as a Matchless! I bought it as a clone i'll sell as a clone! I do like lots of guitar and amp clones specially a lot of the Japs...
I also have a Fender Japanese Blackface clone..
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

I'm fine with Behringer taking Boss business if they're not going to reissue pedals in demand, but these amps. It's a bit much if you ask me. Particularly to have the name plate also.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, people clone shit all the time, no biggie- I personally just wouldn't keep the fakey name on there. Nor put a Fender decal on a non-Fender.
I'm sure it's veeeery nice and awesome 'an all that.

Whats the best way to do a demo? I only have a digital camera and when I record it doesn't sound like what the amp truly sounds like!!

clone a USB2.0 or Firewire audio interface for your PC.
How old are you? This stuff is hardly rocket science.

Sorry dude, I 've just never recorded a demo with my digital camera. I have recorded onto my Tone port, sound only! All I wanted to know is how to get the vid using the camera and the sound using an interface and then have them both together!

Video yourself while recording audio with your toneport.
Then upload the video to your computer and sync it with the audio on your PC with Windows Movie Maker.
