Re: What goes down @ an amp show?
The show was a blast, definitely glad I went. I spent much of the morning/mid-day in the production amp room. Had a great time hanging out and playing everything, especially the 45/100 finally (with the new big cab). I was the kid with the big dorky Heritage.

Re: What goes down @ an amp show?
We had a blast! It was my first Amp Show and it was the wildest experience i've had in a while
! 2 floors with every room blasting out tube tone! The best was the Metropoulos/MetroAmp rooms. I got to wake up the dead with their Full stacks! Absolutely stunning!! And add to that, free Chili and Beer!
I will be snagging one of the 100W Plexi kits soon. Thanks George, Fido, Dave and all the rest of the Metro dudes! Great time!!

Here are a couple pics I found via TGP.
The 'Metropoulos Amplification' room (the amps George builds himself). The kit builds were in the adjoining 'Metroamp' room.

Re: What goes down @ an amp show?
Hey guys, the show was great! We're all pretty wiped out, and took yesterday off to recover a little. Back at it in the shop today.
We have lots of pictures and videos from the show, I'll be posting them ASAP. I'll post a link when they are up.
As usual, Saturday went by in a flash. I hope I got to speak to everyone who wanted to chat. And we tried to make sure everyone got to play all the amps they came to play.
I didn't get out of the room much, as is typical, but I tried to catch a few things. Analog Mike is always great, glad to see him. Had a riot with Pete and Jelle again. Got to spend some time with Trace from Voodoo which was terrific. Phil from Monster Magnet was on hand all weekend, we love that guy. He picked up his 12,000 head and the first of our new tall straight cab with limited edition cloth, loaded with heritage G12H's (pics coming). He called me from rehearsal last night and said the amp was killing!
Loni was great as always.
Seen scores of friends and really went all out this year. Hope everyone who stopped in had a good time, enjoyed some free chili and beer and liked what they heard.

Re: What goes down @ an amp show?
George I had an absolute blast hangin' out with you and the boys! I wish I could have kept my eyes open longer on Saturday evening in the lounge but it was a long day and 7AM Sunday morning came all too fast (lol). Thanks so much for the good times and keep up all the good work my friend! As always if you need anything what so ever or if I can be of help please do not hesitate to let me know.
Have a great day and rest up!
