If you couldn’t join the Metropoulos Amplification crew at the LA Amp Show last weekend, we have the next best thing for you. Check out the video to see what is was like for us to hang out in a hotel room full of amps and welcome visitors to demo the display models.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by! We had a great time meeting all of you.

Our photographer did a fantastic job shooting full stacks of our True Replica Cabinets, both pinstripe and basketweave, and the pictures are now posted on the individual cabinet pages. There are detail shots of all the special features of the cabinets, including the soundposts, caster cups, handles, and more. To see them all, have a look at ourPinstripe Cabinets and Basketweave Cabinets.

Pinstripe and Basketweave Cabinets

by George Metropoulos | March 20th, 2010 | 1 Comment »

We are proud to finally add individual pages for our line of True Replica Cabinets to the Plexi Replicas web site. Many hours have been invested in the process of reverse engineering, CNC programming, prototyping, and research to arrive at the finished product, and the results are truly worth the effort.

The line consists of the 1967 Era Pinstripe True Replica and the 1968 Era Basketweave True Replica. The cabinets are structurally identical and based off a set of vintage 1968 Marshall straight and slant cabinets. The only difference is the grillcloth, with the 1967 featuring EC Collins’ “Bluesbreaker” pinstripe cloth, and the 1968 using basketweave grillcloth.

Both cosmetic styles are available in either slant or straight configurations. You can purchase the cabinets unloaded, or with Heritage, Austin Speaker Works, or Scumback speakers. Additional speaker options are also available. Visit the cabinet pages for pricing:

True Replica Cabinet Prototypes

Cabinet prototypes are here! Our True Replica Cabinets are reverse engineered from my 1968 Marshall speaker cabinets to be identical in every way. In the picture you can see the original cab, stripped of tolex, next to one of the new cabs for comparison. The old cabinet was the guide to be sure every cut, hole, and detail was faitful to the original.

Coming Soon – True Replica Cabinets

Plexi Replicas is proud to announce the imminent arrival of ’68 era Metropoulos True Replica Cabinets. Completed prototypes are expected in December 2009 and we are truly excited about the cabinets and the intense process we used to create such an exact replica. We took original 1968 slant and straight cabs, disassembled them, and micro-metered every piece individually to create full 3D CAD models accurate to .001 inches.

I went to great lengths to exactly reproduce my set of original cabinets. The metal parts were scanned and custom fabricated, all of the little irregularities of the original were measured and perfectly reproduced by CNC, we spared no effort and no expense to make a True Replica Cabinet.
