First there was the Plexi-Drive. Then there was the
Plexi-Drive Deluxe. Now Wampler Pedals brings you the all new
Plexi-Drive Mini. Brian has managed to cram an improved version of the
original Plexi-Drive circuit into a miniature housing and even added
some new features.
Since the early 60’s, Marshall
Amplifiers® have led the way in rock tones with legendary crunch and
punchy bass response. Early rock legends such as: Jimi Hendrix, Led
Zeppelin, Cream, and AC/DC helped in creating some of the most iconic
rock tones ever and catapulted Marshall® into legendary status. Like the
original, the Plexi-Drive Mini’s unique gain structure covers
everything from Vintage ’68 style Plexi tones to the all-out massive
rock tones of a JTM-45® cranked to ten, or even eleven…
The
all-new Mid Boost circuit switch, never featured on any previous
Wampler Plexi style pedal, creates a powerful throaty tube-like boost by
tweaking several gain stages of the circuit at once. The combination of
these switches with the Tone and Gain controls offer impressive tonal
flexibility from a mini pedal. Many players love to run Tumnus,
Clarksdale and other OD type pedals into the Plexi-Drive or Plexi-Drive
Deluxe. For the Plexi-Drive Mini, Brian implemented gain stage and EQ
changes within the mid boost circuit to achieve a similar response - the
result is astounding, and with masses of gain on tap, things are about
to get loud! The Plexi Drive Mini also features our special Bass Boost
switch which emulates the tonal difference between a 4x12 and 2x12
speaker cab.
