Once one gets used to the way the controls work, its really easy to get tons of Roots gain tones with the Metro. Theres Vol, Tone, Mid-bite, and now Master.
Tone King fans know that the Tweed channel tone controls arent the typical layout. There are tons of cool tones that can be coaxed out of the Metro. There was no 'call' for much gain at this gig (this is a Honky Tonk and Twang type band) but it's worth noting that the Mid-bite knob is usable through the entire range of movement - turn the knob to 9, play, then turn it to 10, and you'll hear a difference. There was PLENTY MORE GAIN ON TAP TOO, especially when you switch the input sensitivity to higher gain. I found it a little odd at first when playing the amp in my living room, but onstage the Tweed channel is totally RAD I could get low growling sounds like an Alamo or Supro at the edge of breakup, tweed sounds, and wonderful mid-gain edge and that with the Vol at 5, tone at 6, mid-bite at 5-6, Master at 3 oclock. I was amazed at the Roots/ Americana, slightly gain-ey with just a little hair on the notes kinds of tones I could get with the Tele in that channel. The reverb has only one knob, but its drive is attenuated in the Tweed channel, and the balance of the levels from channel to channel seem to me to be about right.Īs stellar as the clean channel was, the Tweed channel really shined. The controls are Volume/Gain, Tone, Mid-Bite, and Master. The Tweed/ Gain Channel is much like Tone King amps of the past, BUT it features Marks new Master Watt control in the circuit. And the new Master Watt control, which I used all the way up for more max clean. Has a bright switch, Vol, Treble, Bass, and you can select low or high input sensitivity I used the less sensitive (Normal) sensitivity. The Clean channel is everything youve come to expect from Tone King stellar, huge voice, shimmering highs, very BF Fender-esque, sits very very well in the mix. Its housed in a really cool art deco inspired two tone (brown and beige) slant cab, and it looks really cool onstage. Channel switching and reverb on/off on the footswitch. Its 4圆V6, 2 channel switcher 1x12 combo with reverb. 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.įirst, the stats: The Metropolitan is Mark Bartels newest Tone King.
