GPM45 Video Demos by Blues Bradford

by George Metropoulos | January 24th, 2011 | No Comments »

Dave “Blues” Bradford is working on a new project playing blues solos. He used a Metropoulos GPM45 to create some toneful blues solos that are posted on YouTube. The videos are a great representation of how the GPM45 performs in a blues context. Bradford says:

Your amp, along with my Les Paul, is key to my sound. I really love this amp. It is pretty much the only amp I play nowadays.

Get more info at the Blues Bradford web site, and more videos at his YouTube channel. Thanks Blues!



Happy GPM 45 Customer

by George Metropoulos | January 23rd, 2010 | No Comments »

We heard from a very happy Metropoulos GPM 45 owner who had this to say about his new amp:

Got the amp today! It sounds great! Very organic and earthy, good dynamics, easy to get a good sound. Perfect for the kind of music I play – blues and blues based rock. Now I just have to figure out how to get the money to get the 45/100 from you guys. There are times when I need more volume than the 45 can deliver, although the 45 will be sufficient for 95% of the gigs I do.

I am very pleased with the amp! It is just what I was looking for!

Thanks to Doug Doppler for the mp3 files – you can hear them all on the GPM 45 Head page. Doug says:

About the audio samples, they reflect each of the four inputs, with the blues one being the top input on channel 2 with the low inputs jumped. By the way I just want you to be sure – I LOVE the amp!!!
