I swear, you and Phil X are top of the food chain. T- Rex caliber. Both of you have it all. All the technique, phrasing, feel, pocket, vibrato, tone, everything. Dammit.
Great Job George Metroplpoulos. Well played Doug Rappoport. It sounds like my 1968 100 watt. That two stages into a pushed Phase Inverter is a unique unmistakable tone!!! David Hopkins American Viking Amplification.🇺🇸🍻
I have one also. The MetroPlex II is incredible. Best amp that I have owned. Has that 70s thing that you can't get from anything other then a real Plexi. No other clone I have owned does what this does. I have compared my 50watt Plexi build to it. I prefer the MetroPlex in spades!
@@aliassaid6398 Nope... Friedman built my other Plexi clone back in like 2007. So I effectively have had THAT kind of Friedman Plex since then. MetroPlex; to my ears, sounds better. Totally unique!
Always enjoy a new video from Doug E Rapps!! Killer playing as always. So many times through the same progression, and you keep coming up with new ideas!! Awesome!!
Doug your demo of the Helios a long time ago is why I bought one. The thing is you sound so great on every demo I want every amp you demo. You are such a a great player and certainly know how to get killer tones out of amps ! Thanks
Geez Doug.. RIPPING track brother! Tough as nails, and great tone (as always).. but YOU and the Metrolpex, how could it not be?!?! All the best from Down Under sir 🤘
Awesome, just awesome!! It's always such a pleasure to ear your perfect bends Doug! And this Metro has such a tone😮 It cleans so well and bark when you push it, that's one great tone🤘 Love from France Doug!! 🇺🇸💗🇨🇵
Holy shit! I had my good speakers up....when the song came at 1:40 it about knocked me over! Totally thru me off-guard! 😁😁😁 I love it! I like to think my '81 800 sounds about this good! Man this vid totally made my day! Yee Ha! 😁😁😁
Yeah you can. BRBS from Italy, for instance. Doug did a demo of 2 of their amps a while back. Highly recommended! I own the vintage class 3+ , extremely versatile beast of an amp.
I’ve tried so many plexi amps: bogner, Friedman, voodoo, granger, Marshall reissues, ceriatone etc… IMO nothing has the raw snarl that my 1975 super lead has (all stock except for .68 v2 bypass cap). Headfirst Alta 100 comes the closest. Metro and germino amps are on my short list to try though
BE 100 Deluxe is way more versitile and has Friedman's signature tone stacks which are fantastic! This amp is dead on PLEXI. Exactly like the the old killer Superleads
It sounds maybe a hair bit too loose with the filtering. But amazing nontheless. I wish george could make it with a switch to choose between a slightly higher filtering like the 2203 filtering and the 12000 filtering it has. Killer man
BRBS is a tighter amp. Its more like a modded 800. More scooped in the mids. Metro PLex is a little looser on the low end and has a beautiful roundness in the mids and upper mids. I nails the SUper Lead tones. Also the Metro Plex can be attenuated to 50 Watts and it sounds amazing too.
