They weren't metal, they were chrome colored.  Slightly bigger than the 
current ones, and a phenomenal pain in the ass.  Or maybe it was just the 
two that I ran into.  They had a built-in battery-saver feature, which 
mean that they would switch themselves off whenever it decided that it 
wasn't being used, which always seemed to coincide with when you were 
using the damn thing.  They were a lot more difficult to use, but worked 
on the same principle.  You probably need to get one of those H&H 
solid-state amps like Ash always uses.  They sound real, uh, unique.
