Wampler Plexi Drive Mini British Overdrive Pedal Overview
Since the early 1960s, Marshall Amplifiers® have been the torchbearers of rock tones, renowned for their legendary crunch and resonant bass response. Pioneering rock icons like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream, and AC/DC played pivotal roles in shaping some of the most iconic rock sounds in history, elevating Marshall® to iconic status. Just like its predecessor, the Plexi-Drive Mini boasts a distinctive gain structure, encompassing the spectrum from Vintage '68-style Plexi tones to the thunderous rock tones of a cranked-to-eleven JTM-45®…
Notably, the Plexi-Drive Mini introduces a brand-new Mid Boost circuit switch, a feature never before seen on any previous Wampler Plexi-style pedal. This switch produces a commanding, tube-like boost, adjusting multiple gain stages of the circuit simultaneously. When combined with the Tone and Gain controls, these switches provide remarkable tonal versatility in a compact pedal. Many musicians enjoy running pedals like the Tumnus, Clarksdale, and other OD types into the Plexi-Drive or Plexi-Drive Deluxe. In the Plexi-Drive Mini, Brian has incorporated gain stage and EQ modifications within the mid boost circuit to replicate a similar response, resulting in an astonishing outcome. With ample gain on hand, brace yourself for some seriously loud tones! Additionally, the Plexi-Drive Mini features a specialized Bass Boost switch that mimics the tonal distinction between a 4x12 and 2x12 speaker cabinet.
