After a few final tweaks and some critical listening the Metro-Friedman plexi collaboration amp is available to order.

The jist of the amp is:

aggressive plexi that begs to be dimed and retains detail at this setting

voiced for "brown" tones but also covers all the tones from '68 era and up Superleads

includes a 3 way power switch for OFF / ON NORMAL / ON VARIAC

the variac setting simply drops all the voltages in the amp, like an external variac set to 90V AC

6CA7 output tubes

1968 era specs


Price is $3,200 USD

The amps are assembled here at Metro. I should be able to start shipping in 3-4 weeks. Contact me for more info and ordering: sales@metroamp.com

In the LA area you can stop in Tone Merchants in North Hollywood for a demo.

Here are some clips from LA showcasing the Metro-Friedman plexi.

The cab is a True Replica straight loaded with Heritage G12M 20 watts. You can see a Faustine on top of the amps, but I recall it was bypassed for all of these clips.
The top amp was built using all new parts and tubes. The bottom one has old stock mustard caps and Sylvania 6CA7's! Surprisingly, about 50% of the people preferred NOS and 50% new parts.

The Les Paul is the replica made for me by Gil Yaron.

Whupass George! Wish I had the dough to go amp shopping.

Hope you guys sell a ton of them. Sounds KILLER.
