If CONDUCTOR is the modern monster, MATCHMAN V2 is the vintage and classic vibe. Built on the Matchstick Ch. 1 and Placater Clean, this patch delivers warm, dynamic cleans and gritty rock-and-roll edge when pushed. What makes it really special are the brand-new IRs of my 1995 Matchless ESD212 cabinet — beautifully broken-in Matchless-branded speakers that roll off the highs in a smooth, vintage way. They give this patch its massive stereo feel and open up the Helix in a way I didn’t think was possible.
