From the vendor

Project overview

Conceptually based on the Plexi-Drive Deluxe, this pedal expands upon the original Wampler Pedal “Plexi-Drive” by offering enhanced control options that allow you to finely tailor and sculpt your desired tone.

Our version features a front boost inspired by the tube screamer, equipped with gain and tone trimmers, followed by an active EQ for enhanced control and versatility.

Introduction

This reinvention of the Plexi-Drive takes a leap into the modern era of pedals by adding a 3-band active EQ, additional brightness control, and a perfectly voiced pregain booster. With these features, you can achieve a wide range of Plexi tones from virtually any amplifier.

Marshall Amplifiers have been at the forefront of rock tones since the early 60s, renowned for their tight overdrive and coveted bass response. Legends like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream, and AC/DC played a pivotal role in creating iconic rock tones, solidifying Marshall as a legendary rock brand.

Just like the original Plexi-Drive, this Deluxe version maintains a unique gain structure capable of delivering vintage ’68 style Plexi tones as well as massive rock tones reminiscent of a cranked JTM-45 amplifier.

The addition of the all-new active 3-band Bass/Mids/Treble EQ stack provides even more control over your tone. The bass boost option allows you to emulate the low-end thump of a 4×12″ cabinet at the flick of a switch, perfect for dialing in your low end at lower volume gigs or bedroom playing.

In addition, we’ve included a bright switch to add high-end sparkle, making it effortless to switch between bright and dark guitars or amps. The Warped Plexi Deluxe also boasts a pre-gain boost soft click switch with a voice reminiscent of “that ‘valve’ screaming green overdrive with pronounced mids,” enabling you to push your leads into thick, creamy overdrive.

The pedal fills the Marshall void in your rig, providing the crunch, response, boost, and feel that you’ve been longing for. Whether you’re playing sold-out shows or rocking out in solitude, this pedal will elevate your tone and allow you to create your own signature flavor of rock.
