Re: Metropoulos Amps?

They look great, I'm sure they sound great too.

There's a ton of builders recreating the old Marshalls nowadays, as well as putting their own spin on them.

Check out www.thegearpage.net for tons of opinions on most of them and others you might be interested in.

Also, Check out germino amps http://www.aplusguitars.com/germino_amplification.htm

He has tons of videos and sound samples, but I don't know if he makes 100 watters, although I'm sure he could.

EDIT: To fix link
