- For this entry in our "Behind The Front Panel" series we will take a good look inside the Metropoulos Metro-Plex 100 watt amplifier. She's a winner!!
Love my Metroplex! Just acquired a superplex as well! Works of sonic art!
Very nice of you to compliment another builder's work !!.............Awesome!!
George is the best Amp builder in the world IMO
George makes fantastic stuff!! Love my metroplex.
FYI the pull mode knob allows you to go from the left to right of the mode switch. 66/mod, 66/68 and 68/mod. This is also defeated by the supplied 3 button footswitch that allows the same.
That, my friends... Is thing of beauty
Hi, Granville guitars. You absolutely right. Ther are a lot lads in the USA that are of genius level. This is a perfect example of just that. This chap knows his shit. He's done his homework, no doubt about it. It also takes a great deal of skill to even put one of these amps together. One amp that that I was just having a chat with someone ,over problems with it always is my Mesa Boogie Tremoverb. Not to bad now but I definitely would never buy another Mesa amp. I recently bought 2 amps from Ceriatone, a JTM 45 bluesbreaker and a Ceriatone HRM Dumble style amp. The price was right. Would have loved to have bought a Metro amp, but you're looking at major bucks to bring something like that into Canada with Customs and the Canadian dollar isn't worth a bloody Jesus right now. But anyway, this amp is an absolute work of art. Ceriatone amps are also point to point wired, very good amps. Just to clarify what you asking about the switches that change the year of circuitry. From 1967 to 69 all were different in that there were minor resistor changes to give the amp a different tone, if you take a look at all of the circuit schematics at Ceriatone, Nik does pretty much the same vintage specs as Metro. Nik's schematics are all original from the 60's. Nik also offers this same exact switch on his Marshall vintage amps. Great little switch. It's always good to be knowledgeable about amps like this when you are trying to sell them. The average musician doesn't really know about the actual builds and what exact circuitry goes into building amps like this. But rest assured, these types of amps are far superior in my opinion to a lot of stuff that's being built today. Welagen amps ,Shur amps just another 2 that are unbelievably great amps.Thanks from Michael Newell from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
Only amps I've seen built better than that are the original Hiwatts with Reeves signature inside, and the all handwired Ceriatone amps with Serol's signature inside.
Pristine.
