The Creme Brulee Lunchbox is a custom hand-built, Ceriatone designed, 7/15 watt amp boutique guitar amp. Though based on the Matchless DC-30, it's not quite as powerful (which is good and bad), but this makes the master volume quite usable. The half-power setting doesn't sound thin or anemic, and the full power sounds...well simply incredible. We all know the timeless Matchless DC30 and its tone. The cleans are spanky and articulate, very touch sensitive. It has a smooth breakup and a wonderful gainy crunch. This amp, though not a one-trick pony, isn't for everyone. It is a one input amp, and is one of the best one input amps around, bar none.

Q: What would you call a Matchless DC30 that you could play at tolerable volume levels?

A: Ceriatone Créme Brulee
