Played the new Tone King Metro!!
Played it at the Namm show today,and can tell you that is one of the sweetest amps with that new Power level control not like power scaling.
I have owned Comet and MeteorII and always had problem getting the sweet tone spot because it would get to loud,this new amp nails tone even down in Bedroom level!
This will be the amp to watch for!

Sounds like an amazing amp. $3K is probably fair, but that is a lot of money!

I heard those are great amps. My friend Steve used one on his last tour and absolutely loved it. I think I need one.

I am devoted Meteor II user (40w head w/2x12 Celestion Golds- yummy), and I will be demoing at the TK booth tomorrow (Saturday) with Dana Olsen. I will make a point of taking pics and even try to get some audio/or video up on the Metro. I never should have sold my Comet, but this one has similar aesthetics. Mark has been on his tone quest for awhile, and IMHO, never ceases to amaze.
