We're always proud to show off Minneapolis' finest hand-built amplifiers. Today, we're proud to have a couple of amps from Metz Amplification up for sale! John is a good friend and a genius amp designer here in the Twin Cities. The care and attention to detail he displays in his amps is absolutely mind boggling and 100% worth stopping in to see for yourself.
This creation is an 18 watt EL84 cathode biased amp capable of shimmering cleans and grinding overdrive. It has single 4, 8, and 16 Ohm taps for matching loads. Greater than 16 ohm load is not recommended. Turn to standby (or total off) before connecting/disconnecting speaker cabinets. Amp should be in standby for ~30 seconds before turning to solid state rectifier (up
position) or tube rectifier (down position). Do not leave amp in standby for extended periods of time (if over 2 minutes, turn off completely). Unique controls beyond the standard tone, gain and volume controls (I believe you’re savvy enough to know what treble is).
An amplifier built by John Metz is hand crafted and tailored for your ultimate personal musical expression
