Product Description

All that's left is to let your imagination run wild in your quest for great guitar tone. Collect more modules to expand your tonal possibilities.

Here's what Synergy say about the Metropoulos Metro Plexi Preamp Module:

George Metropoulos has spent over 20 years ripping, restoring and analyzing vintage Marshall amps.  Specifically, 100 watt Superlead heads. Metropoulos Amplification owns a reputation for building the most historically and sonically accurate plexi replica amps available.

Plexi Tones

The gain, frequency response, feel and dynamics are fully captured and effortlessly dialed in. The EQ is highly tweaked and features more range than a typical plexi. From all-at-noon settings for full, balanced tones to more extreme settings for tweaked plexi tones the Metro-Plex module stays musical and inspirational. It feels like a great vintage amp under your fingers and it always cleans up beautifully with your guitar volume. 

Two 12AX7 tubes provide four gain stages which are utilized to emulate the clipping, harmonics and dynamics imparted on your guitar signal by the entire plexi circuit.  From the first gain stage to the output transformer, all of the plexi superlead magic is designed in and confirmed via rigorous A/B testing against #12380.

Cathode Select Switch

The METRO PLEX modules includes a three position switch which allows you to configure the input tube bass response to match the original circuit of the selected module Patent Pending. Switch setting will will affect the feel and tightness. Each amp designer has a specific combination of components that makes up their input tube circuit. We have selected the three most popular combinations which you can access with this switch.

You can experiment and try any of the positions to see what you prefer. The METRO PLEX modules will come preset to George Metropoulos's preferred setting which is switch position 2 (2.7K resistor and .68uf capacitor).
