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.
