Jim Gaustad does a very nice demo putting George's Metropoulos Metro-Plex MK II through it's paces.

Wondering if George agreed with Jim variac'ing the amp down to 90VAC or not ?

Sounded tighter in the follow-up video Jim did at wall voltage.

:scratch:
Wax Capacitor. LoL!

I didn't intend it to be variac'ed or expect him to. But he liked it, so more power (or less) to him. It sounds great!
I did like the full voltage clips myself.
Check out Plexi Replicas for my personal amp builds...

Running it on a variac shouldn't harm the amp; correct?

Could possibly be an issue for channel switching relays.

True about switching relays but I'm not sure the MKII has them...
