“The Mini Plexi Drive. Same Fet based circuit as the original but with some tonal tweaking in a mini pedal”
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.

An absolutely fantastic pedal, it is pure guitar happiness in a little box, spot on in Plexi character. Amazing on its own with a cougar-like growl, but as a boost it also gets classics such as the SD-1 and ODR-1 to reach new magic heights.

An absolutely fantastic pedal, pure guitar happiness in a little box! Exactly spot on in Plexi character. On its own it’s amazing with its cougary and almost leopardy growl, but as a boost it also makes pedals like the classics SD-1 and ODR-1 to reach new heights.

Bought this pedal when it first came out and it has earned a permanent spot on my pedal-board. The range of sounds and tones this mighty little pedal delivers is amazing! I especially love the “mids” toggle switch. Great work!
John Brooks –
Just got my Plexi-Drive MINI and it was just what I was looking for. Amazing sound, I love the MIDS Switch. And that it’s Built in the U.S.A. . The quality is fantastic down to the nice Set Screw Knobs and Switches. Great Job…
Phil Brigham –
Received my Plexidrive Mini about a week ago, and used it on a gig two days ago. Sounds great, nice and thick without harshness. The bass and mid switches add versatility. A winner !
Ben L –
This is the sound I’ve been searching for!
Excellent definition and control in the distortion, which can so often get messy the more you crank it. Not the case here, every position to the top feels like you’re in charge.
