RIP Dickey Betts April 2024
At home on a Sunday, thinking about Dickey passing this week. Not one guitar amp in my house. THAT needs to be fixed.
Anyway, despite being ampless, I wanted to put this down. My old Les Paul Standard straight into an LA2A. That's recorded direct and also feeding a Bricasti for room sound and a Lexicon 224 for long hall reverb.
One pass for the rhythm part, which I looped. Then one take for leads. Gaffs and all.
There are few moments that conjure decent DB vibe.
Pay it LOUD!

Iphone clip of the Super-Plex MK II prototype. I started at the input jack and reworked the circuit while comparing to the real 1966 Marshall JTM 45/100. The gain staging, frequency response, clipping, dynamics etc are all accurate. My best standing-in-front-of-a-cranked-plexi exerience yet! Details will be posted online soon.

1964 JTM 45 restored
Просмотров 6 тыс.4 года назад
Very special JTM 45 from 1964 that I had the honor of restoring. Chrome front with beveled knobs. RS output transformer. The owner didn't send the headcab, just the chassis, but the cab features two-tone front and coffin logo. This version of the JTM 45 has a wide frequency response and some of the most beautiful clean tones you'll ever experience. I wished I had a Strat for this clip, but I do...

SupaBoost with JTM 45 and Space Echo
Man I can get the same tones from my cheap JCM 900.
My Mark Cameron Marshall can’t be beat my favorite instrument
I’m not sure which is which, but I prefer whichever amp is on the green light? It’s subtle, but there is more note definition (to my ears).
Exceptional musicality at any EQ setting that's what sets Metro Amps above so many boutique builders
I’d love to hear some tones with some lower gain settings, would that be possible?
Amazing! Will this amp get Hendrix and Frusciante cleans?
the time and consideration to Tone George takes is truly remarkable I dont know of any Amp builder that comes close
Dude, I wanna be in your band. I bet it would be fun. Alright, so that's not happening. But your JTM 45 Metro amp kit, it is still happening. Has, for decades, and I even think it will outlast me.
That is some righteous tone!
Harmonics building up in same place in absolutely same circuit. What a great discovery!!! What an expert!!! LOL :))))
Ever tried the H55-PVC Scumbacks (25/65w)?
👍
Sorcery, I say!
Wow! A friend plays the JTM 45 -inspired head. It is not just awesome, it is ridiculously awesome. I can hardly wait to hear the SLP 100 -inspired head.
Incredible how close they are!
2:03 2:09
Did you keep the 50k mid pot in?? Or did you like it better stock. Keeping the amp more “pure” to its stock form.
Nice, I would like to have one, but it’s funny you have an amp that you can’t listen to it, have to use ear mufflers
:*(
Are the channels internally jumpered on the original?
Scumback sounded closest to me, but it still had the slightest push in the upper mids. Ain't nothin' like the real thang baby!
Talk about keeping the beast caged up! Tasty!
NOS has just a tick more warmth/thump.
This amp sounds so killer. Not sure why a mkII was needed?
George is the spiritual wing of Marshall amplification.
5:15 good tip
My heart lives with the superbass setting.
Awesome video man. Thanks for sharing. Thats all what music is...
Is there a schematic for this conversion? I already switched to the 50K Mid Pot, But I don't quite know what's the procedure is for adding the 25K clipped, and the extra cap.
Wow ! What an amp ! I bought the metroplex! Best amp iv owned!! And iv had a lot!!!looking at this one now!! Love the verb and delay!!
Honest curious question. I know this vids a year old, but why is it hard to simply copy a circuit? And if that's not what you are doing, why not?
Marshall goodness❤
I thought the metroplex was sweeter when you roll off the volume… the old girl has that brightness.
Fantastic work, George! You are a Tonechaser king !
Well done
Just preordered the 100 watt MK II today for 2025. Curious when switching over to 12301, is there a drop in voltage as well or just the circuitry has changed for lack of a better term. Really looking forward to this amp. Thanks for the great work.
Thank you for your order! The voltage doesn't change when switching to 12301. During the design phase, I created a circuit that acted like a variac. But it took away some note attack and every time I turned it off it sounded and felt better, more like the real 12380. So, I left it out.
@@metroampcom thank you, so would it be ok dropping the voltage on 12301, or would it be frowned upon?
CLEARLY ADULT MONSTER s at PLAY 😮
Iv got a 71 50 watt marshall, had the early slo 100, have a friedman be 100 and picked up a metroplex! This amp is crazy good !! My favorite!! Touch sensitive, roll back volume , sweet tone ! Iv never seen an amp cover so much guitar tone territory, Hendrix, Allman Bros!, VH ACDC! All the music I grew up with is in this amp !! It has a Bottom end THUNK that has to be experienced! Mid that cuts and treble that doesn’t pierce! I love this amp !!
Started playing guitar in 1979. Seen and lot of dudes and studied a lot of the greats. This vid of this mother effer makes me put him in top tier of ever guitarists Ive ever heard. This is one bad mofo.
I am grateful to own the Super-Plex MKII and now this Metro-Plex MKII -- Soldano sits on the shelf for a Home Rig and the on the Road goes the Metros, The Royal JPP 100 the Homestead 100 -- Very Grateful for the best sounds around.
I just now right now started to play my Metro-Plex MKII and this amp is awesome -- no matter what genre -- the singing sustain and just pure rock flavor is astounding.. This amp pairs so well with my Metropoulos Super-Plex MKII -- George is the best -- I am so fortunate to use his builds -- these amps are so value based. Thanks George
Eddie said in an interview that his tone was accidental.I think the same can be said for Hendrix and many others that were in the right time and the right place. Not to take away from their ability and unique phrasing and arrangements in their playing. They are all guitar hero’s to countless players,including me.They did the searching and found the answers for their tone. We are all,grateful to builders and players of the past ,and those who continue the search for tone. Rock on brothers .
a nice tribute, the greats are never really gone as long as we remember them
George What pickups are in your Les Paul?
Throbak Mick Taylor's
They sound Good in combination with the amp.
Nice!
Very close, like 95%. Both sound great but red is a little thicker & woofier while green has more of that clear strident upper midrange that I love plexis for.
Thanks George. Just perfect, kind of like going to church (for someone like me). Kudos !!
Buy George he's finally done it. A life's worth of striving right there; you must be incredibly proud and rightly so. Such commitment, determination and instinct is so rare. I see the toll it took on you but you offered it up and have now entered an entirely new realm.
hi george, been a minute. what's the plate voltage on ur original '68 ? is there any rockstah dna in the new design ? sounds amazing gotta get one !
The right echo can push you to play at its speed. You did a fantastic job meeting its challenge, JD. Really impressed.
