TWO CHANNELS. TWELVE VOICES.
This isn't a one-trick amp. When you flip between channels on the Mach 3, you're stepping into a different amplifier — different voice, different gain structure, different character. Six voices per channel, each one reaching into the DNA of a classic amp that shaped the sound of rock, blues, country, and jazz.
Set up Channel 1 for pristine Fender cleans. Set up Channel 2 for snarling Marshall crunch. Footswitch between them mid-song without touching a knob. Or flip the selector to center and run both channels simultaneously — layering two voices into textures no single-channel amp can touch.
Two inputs mean you can plug in two instruments and switch between them live. Acoustic for the verse, electric for the chorus. Guitar and lap steel. The Mach 3 handles it without a second amp on stage.
This is twelve amps in one combo. One cable. One trip to the car.
TWENTY-FOUR SOUNDS. ZERO PEDALS.
The Distortion Boost adds breakup before the Voice and EQ section — exactly like putting a drive pedal in front of the amp. Hit it and every voice gets a second personality. Sparkling cleans become edge-of-breakup shimmer. Warm crunch becomes full-bore roar. Twelve voices become twenty-four usable sounds, all from the front panel.
The Limiter sets the ceiling on how far the overdrive can go. Crank the Gain for sustain and harmonic richness, but dial the Limiter to keep it from getting harsh. You ride right at the edge of breakup without falling over it. This is how session players get tone that sounds cranked on the record but stays controlled in the room.
Built-in Reverb and Tremolo — both footswitch defeatable — mean two fewer pedals on your board. The 3-band active EQ gives you real tonal sculpting with boost and cut on Bass, Mid, and Treble.
All of it controllable from the Quilter 6-Position Foot Controller with LEDs that mirror the amp panel. Set it and forget the knobs.
200 WATTS. 20 POUNDS. STAGE READY.
The Celestion Copperback is a 250-watt 12" speaker purpose-built for the Mach 3. It handles everything the amp throws at it — clean headroom at full power, smooth breakup at low volumes, balanced response that doesn't favor one voice over another. This isn't a generic driver in a box. It's an engineered pairing.
Separate SPKR VOL and SIG OUT controls are what make this a professional stage amp. Set your SIG OUT level with your sound engineer once — it stays locked. Then use SPKR VOL to adjust your stage volume without touching the front-of-house feed. No more "turn down" arguments. No more inconsistent mixes night to night.
Need more spread? Add an extension speaker via the 4-ohm jack — the amp splits power automatically. The head lifts out of the combo if you want to pair it with a different cabinet down the road. FX Loop for your pedalboard. Cab Sim for direct recording. Headphone output for 2 AM practice. Universal voltage for any stage on earth.
A comparable tube combo weighs 60–80 lbs. The Mach 3 Combo weighs 20. Your back knows the difference.
