Can't wait to fire up the Metro, should arrive tomorrow hopefully. Funny enough I've had GAS for the Mojave PM for years and I've had a few pop up locally but there's pros and cons to them (like everything) and given their relative scarcity I've been leery to buy one and then find I didn't care...

I sold the Marshall, holding off on selling the Friedman until I receive the Metroplex tomorrow and can do a side by side A/B comparison. Also going to sit with the Ceriatone again and determine if it's worth keeping as it gets good sounds (not really Marshally) but it also takes a LOT of...

Nope I'm in the Northeast unfortunately and I would probably take you up on that otherwise lol. I paid nowhere near full price for my SB so my feelings aren't really hurt by the 1200

Longtime reader, infrequent poster here. I find myself in an enviable position of having too many Marshall style amps (for me at least) and there's a war in my head over what amps should stay and which should go. Plexi and Marshall tones vary greatly and everyone's concepts of great Marshall...

Thanks @LP Freak. I was using the loop level volume (I have that on all of my amps except the Mark V and the 5153 but I use a JHS Little Black Box on everything that doesn't have it factory) but it was DEFINITELY the 25W mode causing the issue. Once I put the BE50 into 50W mode.....there were...

That certainly gives me hope! I have a lot of experimenting to do still and that was one of them but I'll try that first tonight. Your YT videos are among a few of the things that convinced me to take the risk on the amp so this information comes well regarded. I know the amp sounds great at...

That's unfortunate. I'm not really fond of the idea of needing to spend another $1500 to be able to use it in my home. If that turns out to be the only option, this amp will be going away rather quickly sadly. Thanks for the feedback !

I just picked up a mint used Friedman BE50 Deluxe and after about an hour or so, I'm underwhelmed. I've seen others say the same and I'm positive my experience is because it was at bedroom volume and not band volume. I'm wondering if the amp just sounds dull, boxy and midrangey and doesn't get...

I think this is my first time posting but I'm a long time reader of this and many forums. I need some help with some Diezel questions. If this has been covered elsewhere forgive me as I didn't find it after searching all weekend. I just scored a 50w Diezel Einstein head and I'm familiar with...

I own the Gibson 498T/490R combination in one guitar and it's staying in there. The Throbaks definitely sound clearer but for me personally they aren't the kind of pickup I'd use in that rig and I use similar stuff. I chased the tone in my head for two years, every manufacturer you can think...
