Match Bro models

Post by Greg Vincent »

Hi folks,

I have a Match Bro that switches between "Dobro" sound and "full bypass -- battery off" positions.

I understand there is a model that switches between the Dobro sound and an off position that gives you the impedance-matching features of a Match Box --essentially acting like a Match Box when the Dobro effect is switched off.

Which model (or models) would that be?

-Confused in L.A.

I have an original Match-Bro I bought in maybe 1991. It has no model number on it, but the switch positions are marked "Dobro" - "Guitar". The front panel is marked "Match-Bro by Goodrich - Designed by Buddy Emmons". It has Buddy Emmons Music and his address on it also.
It is in the circuit when in the guitar position and acts like the original Goodrich matchbox.
