Tone King Metropolitan Guitar Amplifier Amp 1x12 Combo w/ Padded Case Output Power Fully Adjustable from 0.1 Watts to 40 Watts Output Tubes 4 x 6V6 Rectifier Tube 5AR4 Preamp Tubes 4 x 12AX7, 1 x 12AT7 Speaker Single 12" Custom Designed Eminence Reverb All Tube with a FULL SIZE 3-Spring Pan Footswitch Controls Channel Switching and Reverb Dimensions 24.25" Wide 18.25" Tall 12" Deep Weight 42 lbs
in exceptional condition, working perfectly. Low hours, no smoking, and very little handling. Mostly used in home studio.From Guitar Player magazine:The Metropolitan carries a fairly straightforward yet flexible bundle of features that aligns it with many other amps of what we might call the “modified Fender” class. Made in the U.S., it generates 40 watts from four 6V6GT output tubes, carries an all-tube spring reverb, and offers two voices that can be selected either from a control-panel toggle or by footswitch. Although it still aims to achieve ultimate blackface-style clean, the Metro’s Rhythm channel has been entirely updated from that of the Meteor II with the aim of adding more richness and depth to the midrange in particular. The Lead channel is designed to take you from chewy tweed-like bite to brighter, crisper, Marshall-like sting—none of which are high-gain voices, but, rather, are intended to drive the output tubes into breakup. At the output stage, the 6V6GTs are now entirely cathode biased, rather than cathode biased with an additional fixed-bias element, as on the Meteor II. The independent Output Power controls, which automatically engage from the footswitch according to your channel selection, offer a new, proprietary means of controlling volume that is different from previous master volume, Power Scaling, or attenuator-based controls.
