17 Sep The Metro Session: Gibson 1969 SG Standard
Here I wanted to add more of the third microphone, the “ambient” one, that captured more reverb. To give you an idea of what it was to be there!

16 Sep The Metro Session: 1969 Gibson SG Custom (modded)
This one is the guitar that came in this condition (click here)
“…yes, and I want the guitar to be mint you know… does it have any scratches?”
“Actually, it’s broken in two”
(but it’s CHEAP because of that) (more…)
16 Sep The Metro Session: 2007 R8 Gibson Les Paul Standard “Chambered”
So much for vintage LPs! Chambered Les Pauls sound pretty good in my humble. This one here has nothing special, I just purchased it randomly.
I changed both pickups to TimBuckers though, and did ’50s wiring. Bridge is TonePros.
This is also the guitar that I used with Jaiminho Pagina collaboration here.
16 Sep The Metro Session: 1993 Korina SG Standard
This one definitely has hotter pickups. I rewired the bridge pickup to ’50s wiring.
16 Sep Introducing Metro Amps
Update as of Sep 16th 2010: George has provided internals images of my amp directly from his archive. If you wanted to peek into it, you’re served!

A few months ago, I started researching for another Amplifier Head. Reason was, I wanted to go even higher in quality and a sort of back to my vintage Marshall Heads. But didn’t want to go into vintage again
14 Sep The Metro Session: Lentz 1953/1959 Conversion
1953/1959 Scott Lentz Conversion, real PAFs, original harness and original late ’50s Bumblebees.
Video will stop at a given point because the camera heated up and shut off. Apologies. Audio was recorded separately and will continue to play on a black screen.

So, I’m launching today – as promised – my first test (I was testing myself, not the amp 😆 ) with this Metro (George Metropoulos Amplification).
We recorded – my ex-sound Engineer – Chris – and I – in the same place where I had recorded the AC/DC tone video.
Three microphones were used, a condenser Neumann U87 and two dynamic Shure SM57s, one on the front of the cab and one in the back (to capture more bass and the reverb of the room). (more…)

With this video I am starting to release a number of videos (around 10) from edited footage shot recently. This one features an Angus Young Signature played on this Metro (Metropoulos amplification) and on a vintage original 1969 Marshall 4×12 non slanted cabinet with original, vintage G12s in it.
Video will end at a given moment as camera died. But the sound was still recorded (separately) so it will play back.

If you decide to contact Metro, please let them know you came from SoloDallas – aka Fil – I’d love to get some recognition for this and slowly transform this site into a small business.
