Legendary Dobro / Reso effect plus functions as a Matchbox ( buffer w/ tone control) when dobro effect is off. Minor scratches, but excellent working condition.
Hey, it must be good- it was designed by Buddy Emmons!
$250 shipped to lower 48.

Do these have a true bypass or any bypass?

Don't believe so , Bob- it's always on, either as the buffer or the dobro sim.

There was not bypass until
the Match Bro II came out.

But version II was only a dobro sim, it doesn't have the Matchbox circuit or tone and timbre controls.

Correct

fixed dobro sound? No adjusting?

I guess they need a III model that does it all?

Bob, this version already has all that. Tone control adjusts the matchbox, timbre control adjusts the dobro sound.

Do you have the Bar that goes with it? I think it has a lot to do with the sound at least that's what im told by folks that own them

No Todd, no bar. Used to have one and found it didn't make that much of a difference other than cutting down on sustain. You can compensate tone wise by using the timbre control.
I think Scotty's Music still has the bars for sale.

I don't see any pot for the tone control when in bypass. The one I have (an original model) has a pot on the bottom for the tone when in bypass.

Jack, the tone control works the matchbox when the dobro mode is off.
