At long last! My ultimate emulation of the iconic 1968 Superlead plexi.
In 50 watts!
Metro-Plex MK II 50 watt
This two channel amp faithfully emulates everything about my '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 essence of my vintage plexi like this Metro-Plex.
Classic plexi style and cllass.
Just 22" wide and 32 pounds. Grab and go authentic plexi tones.
Blend normal and treble gains in the 12380 channel, just like you would on any vintage plexi. With switchable "bright cap" options, you can call up any classic tone at will, including Superbass (no bright cap).
12301 is fixed with 5,000pF bright cap and made to rip. Dime it and unleash ferocious plexi aggression.
Each channel features an outstanding master volume
Classic tone controls. Tweak your tone with the iconic plexi tone stack.
The pure plexi class continues on the rear.
Footswitch between channels and patch in your favorite FX.
Accommodate virtually any speaker arrangement. Set bias without removing the chassis.
Select from 3 levels of output power. 50W / 25W / 5W
Select AC voltage with the slide of a switch.
