Hot off the line after it's unveiling at NAMM, is Tone King's re-released its MkII version signature amp, the Imperial, which is influenced by classic 50s amp sounds and features a built-in attenuator. with the Kingsnake's stock Jensen Neo). Boutique amp brand Tone King is coveted by legions of players the world over - and it's very expensive. Your Metropolitan, at 2,995 darn well should sound better to you than your 550 Reverend The Reverend is also considerably smaller and lighter (32 lbs. But in 93 I was gigging a mint condition 65 (OH) Fender Deluxe Reverb that I had owned since 1988. As an owner of both Reverend and Tone King amps for many years, absent context, this is a potentially misleading comment. Check out one of the classiest amps you may have ever seen The Tone King Metropolitan Combo is. In any case, both are sensational amps and either amp would make any player over the moon. The Tone King Imperial MK I (It was simply called the Tone King Imperial back then) was a lauded amp by Pros and Weekend Warriors alike along with some of the other amps Mark had designed. The Tone King Metropolitan Combo is nothing short of gorgeous, aesthetically and tonallyWildwoo. 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. I played a Silver Falcon and it sounded fantastic through both. 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. 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. Britains Prince Albert (Colin Firth) must ascend the throne as King George VI, but he has a speech impediment. It's a very close and tough call, mind you. The story of King George VI, his impromptu ascension to the throne of the British Empire in 1936, and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch overcome his stammer. 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. 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.
