It s 4圆V6, 2 channel switcher 1x12 combo with reverb. First, the stats: The Metropolitan is Mark Bartel s newest Tone King. In any case, both are sensational amps and either amp would make any player over the moon. I gigged with the new Tone King Metropolitan last weekend, playing the straight and natural (GRIN) Cowboy music with The Bar Association up in Marin, in NorCal.

The log book shows the serial numbers jumping around quite a bit for the Selmer/Adolphe Sax saxophones.

The Met has a Bright switch in the rhythm channel that gives it some British sparkle and takes it from tweed to more Voxy like tones, but with that extra high end, I did find myself wishing it had the Vox style Cut control. Instruments manufactured after 1936 range in serial number from 1350-3600. I played a Silver Falcon and it sounded fantastic through both. The Metropolitan has two distinct preamp channels - the Rhythm Channel and the Lead Channel. This is extremely useful, allowing one to set the amount of saturation and headroom for each channel and then use the Iron Man to manage your over-all balance between channels. Tone Kings breakthrough Phase-4 power control technology is light years ahead of these older approaches in its ability to retain not only the tone, but also the tactile feel of the amps natural power tube overdrive, even at very low volume. One great thing about the Metropolitan is that it has not one, but two built in Iron Man attenuators, one for each channel, each independent of the other. For the moment, we do indeed have them in stock. Rarely in stock, and it usually has a waiting list. It's a very close and tough call, mind you. The Tone King Metropolitan Amp is certainly one of the most in demand high end guitar amps we sell here. Both amps can get into a bit of the Marshall British tone when you crank the lead channel and boost the Mid-Bite, but I think I still prefer the Imperial a slight bit. It has a slightly wider and open sound than than the Imperial, but is also a bit more Tweed-like. I decided to A/B it next to the Imperial 20th Anniversary they had and here's what I came away with. It’s designed to be sweeter, smoother and more rounded in a late-40s or 50s way. Tone King describes this as an ultra-linear output stage with cathode biased 5881 power valves and no negative feedback. While I was out and about today I swung by GC to buy a pack of DD balanced strings to try (and to enter the Falcon contest) and saw that they had a new Tone King Metropolitan in stock. The Falcon Grande is a prime example, and it’s an appropriate match for the Supro-style circuitry here.
