David Ryan Harris with his Metro 50 watt

I took DRH's new 50 watt plexi replica down to the John Mayer show.

Here's a pic of his rig:

100 with '67 spec

I have a short clip too. But it's 6.5Meg. I'm not sure how to reduce the size and post it. I can't really throw it on Youtube.

Any ideas?

A demo of Vegas did the trick. The video quality is terribly low. Let me know how this file size works.

From what I was hearing it not only had great tone, but equally important on stage, is that it would cut through the band without an "ice-picky" quality or piercing edge. Very nice.
