Metropoulos 12,000 Series '69 Spec Plexi Replica w/ Merren Iron
Excellent +++ Condition (I think most folks would call it Mint)

Incredible sounding Plexi Replica
As awesome as this amp sounds, it's just too darn loud for what I'm doing at the moment.
I know the solution is to just pick up a Power Station, but before I lay out the cash for one, I figured I'd try selling it first.

If anyone knows me I’m a huge fan of these synergy royal caps. They offer a period correct vintage flavor and are amazing at recreating rolled off volume low gain tone that everyone expects Marshall’s to do. Metal films in the power supply so they won’t drift with age. I personally prefer the noisier carbon composition over carbon film but that’s just a me thing. Beautifully made and well priced - the other random components are not cheap and getting hard to find anymore. It’s a great amp and fairly priced.

GLWS.

I don't need this. I have a Metroplex II. But I had 12078 from George and it was glorious. I can't imagine how good this one sounds!

This amp was my first build and I put identical components in mine. It gets compliments by all who hear it. Tone of the gods. You cannot be disappointed in this amp, other than it being loud enough to kill small animals.

No disappointments, this amp is a tone monster

I was always curious about these back when they were offered on George’s site, I was I think in highs school or maybe uni.

Wish I could gwt this one. GLWTS!

Don’t you know, why George stopped offering amps other than couple newer ones?

I just think he can’t support multiple models when he’s booked through next year with the MPII.
