The UK production for Electric Amp did not meet the outline agreed prior to production.
"Electric Amp" was Matamp USA's last attempt to get Huddersfield to build old school hardwire amps.

Alot of changes with amps and administration ending 11 years of relations between Matamp USA
and Matamp UK during August of 2005.

Electric Amp already in speaker cab production moved on with their own line of tube amps made in the USA.
John Tilley was layed off from Matamp UK , December 2005 and he started Tilley Pro Audio UK.
Dave Green parted with Matamp UK, November 2007 and does freelance amp design
and alot more sailing on his yacht with his bride.

Now the 3 original individuals [Joel, John & Dave] that produced The 2nd generation
of Matamp products [post Mat Mathias] during 1997-2007 have all left
the Huddersfield shop to pursue their own interests.
