Metropoulos 12,000 Series

Metropoulos 12,000 Series 1968 Era Replica - 100 Watts
As used by: Eddie Van Halen

The Metropoulos Amplification 12,000 Series accurately replicates early 1968 era Marshall 100 watt Superlead and Superbass amplifiers with serial numbers in the 12XXX range. Just like original Marshalls, the 12,000 Series offers a more aggressive sound than the earlier 10,000 Series plexi. Special construction details include authentic reproduction birch headcab, perforated turret boards and a 12XXX serial number.

The aggressive tone is very midrange focused. Dime everything and you are in "brown sound" heaven. Hit the Virtual Variac™ for even more saturation and spongy feel. The 12,000 Series is also very versatile, anything most classic Marshalls can do you will hear in this amp. Tones from countless albums came from the original 1968 Marshall Superleads and they can all be re-created with the 12,000, including the legendary 1977 debut record from a certain guitar god.
