At long last! George Metropoulos' ultimate emulation of the iconic 1968 Superlead plexi. Welcome to the MK II era, the next generation of plexi tone.
The Metro-Plex MK II is the apex of timeless guitar tones. Decades of obsession and thousands of amp builds culminating in the most authentic, most uncompromising solution for cranked vintage stack tone at any volume. If your current plexi doesn’t sound great at any volume or provide classic tones at every setting on your guitar volume, it’s not good enough! All of the shortcomings found in every plexi replica ever built are resolved in the Metro-Plex MK II design.
Yes, you CAN have an FX loop with your plexi tones. You CAN have uncompromising tone, harmonics, feel and dynamics at baby-asleep-in-the-next-room volume levels. Your Metro-Plex MK II is your home amp, studio amp, stage amp and any other scenario you find yourself in. Stop settling for volume = distortion. The next generation is here.
This two channel amp faithfully emulates everything about George's '68 Superlead serial # 12380. The tone, the feel, the note attack, the harmonics. It's ALL there. If you're obsessed with plexi tone and everything else has left you unsatisfied, this is the amp that will quench your thirst. From Marshall reissues to boutique offerings, nothing else captures the true essence of a vintage plexi like the Metro-Plex MK II.
