Metropoulos Forum

Hey y'all check it out! Just wanted to share some clips of my Metro 12 series build in action. First, is a video of my band, Toe Head, we just finished this new song & it was the first time I had the chance to record with it. It was definitely the best guitar sound I have ever gotten in the studio.
I'm hard panned right & it's basically my guitar into a ClinchFX EP-PRE pedal, into my amp that was dimed & on the low voltage tap, into a UA.
For the solo I just kicked in a Cusack Screamer for a little more gain & a Sweet Sound Mojovibe.
The singer's guitar is hard panned left & he was playing into an Orange 30watt combo. I think my amp ate his for dinner!

Next, is a short clip I did for a tv show called Unsigned Rock TV that airs out here in Southen California ever Wednesday night at midnight on KDOC (usually CH.56) where we are a featured artist on the show ever week. It is basically me going through my rig. It was originally a lot longer & I went into more details, but most of it ended up on the cutting room floor (damn you networks )

Wow. cool band, sounds good. Is your amp stock?

bad-ass!

Hey guys thanks for the compliments!!! I did mention Metro a couple of times but those are the parts that were edited out !!!
Yeah, it's just the stock 68' kit, but with Sozo Vintage caps & all AB CC except for a couple places where I used CF.
Coupling caps - .022u
V2A - .68u cap
Tone stack - 33k/500
Output coupling caps - .1u
NFB - 47k on the 8ohm tap
Fizzy cap - 47p
I've tried all the different specs and always come back to this one.

fuckin' killer, man !

Glad to hear y'all like the tune . It's our first song recorded so far for our new cd we are working on. More to come

Bravo. Killer man!!!

Diggin' that second clip...the song is decent man.

Great song and great tone!

Hey Sral68, thanks a lot I really appreciate the kind words

Rock on

Could you share with us witch mic you used and where on the speaker i was placed.
I think your sound is fat but distinct. Rock on!

Bravo great tone. THick. cool song.
Thanks for posting that!

Hey Sral68, we miked an Orange 2x12 open back cabinet with Vintage 30's with a Beyer M69 on the front, dead center on one of the speakers, and a SM57 inside of the back of the cabinet. Both mics through a Chandler TG2 mic pre, and two Vintage UREI 1176’s. Then just mixed the two mics together to our liking. The mic on the back adds some nice low end & midrange that the front doesn't have. We tried using my Bogner 4x12 with G12H30 speakers with the same mics & didn't sound as big & thick.


Thanks for the compliments tone chaser, much appreciated!!

Wow. That first song really got me jamming along!!!

Love it!
