Our newest Distortion pedal, this one is designed
to emulate a JCM800. For comparison, the Plexidrive sounds like
Bon-Scott era AC/DC, this pedal is more Back in Black era AC/DC
tones through van halen, dokken, ratt, and all those amazing 80's
rock "cranked Marshall" tones.
It now has an additional "presence" control if you need more
clarity. Not to mention twice as much
volume, AND a seperate switch so you can have a volume boost for
stage use - get your solo out in front and not washed up behind the
band! This volume is controlled by it's own knob. Same tone,
more volume!
Updated circuitry in April 2008!
Full 3 band eq, presence control, gain and volume controls. TONS of
available volume.
3 band eq - they interact with each
other JUST like the JCM800 controls too.
I've noticed that some guys like play their
distortion pedals that emulate marshall tones THROUGH a marshall.
Let's be honest - I can play a chorus pedal through a marshall and
get a very "marshally" sounding chorus pedal... In my
opinion this isn't a fair or accurate representation of a pedal.
Because of this, I recorded a clip of the plexortion through my
fender super twin, a hot rod deluxe, and a vox ac-15.
Currently 4 week lead time.

A recent email from a customer about the the plextortion:
This is the pedal I've been searching for for over ten years.... Even though it was modeled after a JCM 800, this pedal, so far, is the closest to
getting those eighties George Lynch/Van Halen/Warren DiMartini modded
Marshall tones I have ever heard.
I play a Bogner Shiva who's clean channel is very particular about
distortion pedals. I've tried everything under the sun to get those
above mentioned tones.... To me they either don't have enough gain or sound too fizzy and everyone of them misses the essential element to what a true modded cranked plexi really sounds like - the midrange.
You guys nailed it. If you listen to early Dokken like "the Hunter" and "In My Dreams", there's just a growl to the tones that no pedal has ever
enabled to come through my amps until now. (same thing with that
Angus Young plexi "bark" - sorry but the Box of Rock just doesn't
get it and Zach Vex himself said it's not supposed to - based on a
JTM 45 which is a different animal)
