Metro 12xxx Project is done

Post by zachman » Wed Feb 23, 2011 12:38 am

So... I bought a Metro 12xxx amp, used-- from someone here on the forum and had a few mods and tweaks done. The amp had the Lar/Mar PPIMV, Virtual Variac, and a Mercury Magnetics OT. I've since had a Metro fx Loop added, did some lower filtering, cascaded gain stages to one of the inputs. The other input is stock non-cascade and I've added a push/pull pot to one of the volume knobs for Bright/Grindage should I choose to implement it. I also did a custom faceplate, just because. I should have the amp sometime next week or so... I'm really looking forward to getting this amp and adding it to my rig.

Ah. I've talked with you on the Marshallforum. I love your rig, though I don't think I could ever figure it out. I especially have an affinity for Plexis. I'd love some clips.

This one is actually 2 different amps. The beginning of the song I'm using a Boogie MKIII Coliseum on the R2 channel. When the song gets heavier with the guitar sound-- it's the Cameron. The Solo switches back to the Boogie on the Lead channel:
