Metro-Friedman Video Clip from LA Amp Show

[bwgintegra]

Here is a short clip I took of the Metro-Friedman Amp from the LA Amp Show
For the ones that don't know, this is Dave Friedman and Pete Thorn in the video

 

[joepete77]

sounds great, is that tone straight to amp or is it boosted with a pedal ?

That's straight into the amp

 

[laneychris]

Damn that sounds good!

 

[charveldan]

Sounds amazing, quintessetial Brown Sound.

Mr. Friedman, what kind of pre-amp tubes in that amp?

 

[rockstah]

was it attenuated?

[bwgintegra]

was it attenuated?

Mark

No attenuator, I think everything was pretty much dimed. It was loud!
They had Faustine attenuator's you could use but in this video it was not used.

 

[rockstah]

speakers used?

 

[charveldan]

speakers used?

I think he was running these new Metro Marshall repro cabs.

 

[bwgintegra]

speakers used?

If i had to guess id say a Scumback 4x12.

I am pretty sure George said they were 20w celestion's,

 

[rockstah]

a dimed 100w into one cab of 20w celestians? whoa

Holy Shite!!! That would explain the breakup.

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Yeah dimed. Thats part of the sound. The 20 watt heritage celestions handle it for sure. The clip was straight in. Since then there have been a couple of tweaks and its even better.

 

[rockstah]

Dave, sounds good but man, you would think those 20w speakers would be falling apart.

I've got 33 year old 25 watt Blackbacks and always try to watch it when cranking a 2203 Marshall.

I was told a 100 watt Marshall had a peak watts of up to 175...........or is that a myth???

I try not to go much over halfway with the master which is usually close to stupid loud anyway.

 

[rockstah]

That's what i'm saying.
again, i would think using only one cab loaded with those speakers would just fall apart with splatty lows happening all over the place.

Is this amp ROHS compliant?

 

[petethorn]

consider the variac- it's probably only making 50-60watts. When down at 90v. And the EVH's (and Heritage 20's, same thing) are actually 25 watt speakers.

 

[mikehickey]

I love it and want it.

Pete I am blown away by what Dave has done with Metroamps. The tone in that clip is blowing my mind. Totally insane!
