MetroPlex OnFire!

[valvestorm]

Wanted to share this clip of our friend Strat78 playing a Metropoulos Metroplex
You can tell by the video he likes to have fun with the EVH thing!
Add an EchoPlex and a Flanger... here ya go!

Are you a friend of metro amps guy?

 

[valvestorm]

Yes... a friend of George's and Strat78... George was good enough to send him a MetroPlex to make some clips.

 

[SavageRiffer]

Damn I love the Metroplex.

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

Sounds killer. Has that sizzle

 

[MetalHeadMike]

Lovin the Metro tones I've been hearing

 

[journeyman73]

interesting settings

 

[7 Stringer]

Damn, that was pretty rad. Has THE ballpark fundamentals of the cranked plexi. Love the tones man, oh, and the playing too

Great vid. Makes me want one now

After watching a detailed comparison vid George did for the Metro Plex and Super Plex, I want to try a Super Plex in the worst way. Seems like an amp that could bring all my Malcolm, Page and Kossoff dreams to life with a boost thrown in for good measure. But laying down $3700 plus just to see if I like it......Ouch.

Great vid!!!
Is metro out of flint?

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Sounds amazing for sure... if you want the exploding amp on the cheap, lift the ground from your middle pot on a 2204 style amp and you get that more out of control amp feeling (because i also don't have 3700 US DOLLARS which is over 5k Canadian to spend on an amp)

Pretty cool. It misses the mark on the bass/bottom end though

 

[valvestorm]

I think the player believes that On Fire on the album has a different sort of sound than some of the other tracks and he was trying to capture that.
If it helps, I think he might have eased of the bass to get a tighter sound. Pickup was a Duncan 59, but with a ceramic mag swapped in.

I just want that practice bomb in the background. I actually had one when I was a kid and my folks sold it in a garage sale when I went to college.
