LovePedal Purple Plexi 800 Overdrive Pedal

[JBL8863]

Great pedal but a little expensive...

[skarbu]

Built this monster, it sounds friggin awesome! Added some switches to change caps for single coil or humbucker :D very very nice pedal! Buy it if you can get it, it's worth it

[Fishies125]

Wow, cleans up very nicely with guitar volume! I was very surprised!

[grswindl]

@omgf51: Whipping Post - Allman Brothers Band

[omfg51]

what song is that at 6:04 ? I've heard it a million times

[Filopo69]

Ok, what's the basic difference between "purple plexi 800" and "purple plexi" featured on the other video by ProGuitar?

[guitarsalert]

get your point on in the first min of video

[MrFelipgnr]

This pedal is good for play Led Zeppelin ???

[twopopsforsure]

ok this is the second one Ive heard from you guys that I like

[ep9229]

I like the sound of this pedal a lot, but it's not really plexi-ish, too fuzzy in the low end. Plexis are much tighter sounding in the bottom end.

[dickdog1]

I hate to say this but i think the Box of Rock is better at the Plexi thing.

[b44styreraug]

Any recommendations for any good metal distortion or drive pedal?

[youtubkevin]

whats the song in the very beginning??

[Luckums135]

@youtubkevin welcome to the jungle GNR

[metazoanex]

For those about playing ACDC: This is the pedal.

[treatb09]

whats the song that opens the video. NOT the one the demo guy plays.????

[AGONIAmusic]

welcome to the jungle - guns n roses

[pissballs]

I haven't owned every marshall but about 15 of them from different eras. My favorites were a mid 70s 50watt JMP master volume and an early 70's 100watt mk2 non master that was modded extensively but sounded amazing. This pedal is good, not bad at all!

[aguschispan]

sounds like a smoth distortion...i'd rather crunch box for distorted sounds like GnR and a t.rex alberta for a creamy tone. ;)

[andrewt248]

Sounds like a pedal. Take that however you want.

[InFuriatedShadows]

ounds more like distortion :)

[Hertsman50]

People who own Marshalls will tell you that it sucks but only because they are jealous, it is a fucking awesome pedal.

[andr3wbr1an]

i like the welcome to the jungle at the intro

[Hertsman50]

Sounds very close to a Marshall sound.

[JulesTielens5]

This is a plexi? I have both a 69 plexi and a Marshall 800. This doesn't come near!

But it would be silly if a pedal could even come close to a vintage 2000 euro amp, wouldn't it? Grow up guys.

[vetzaaak]

That's what we call "marketing" dude. It's just a name, obviously no ss distortion pedal can actually replace a vintage tube amp. At best, it sorta gimmicks the tone I guess.

[varone6t9]

The new purple plexi pedals sound more accurate. Plus the amp used to demonstrate was kind of muddy.

[celtik74]

yep not everyone has the cash m8!!!

[spratty59]

Is it just me or does the newer not sound so good?

[rupertacdc]

fuck yeah dirty deeds

[Hertsman50]

I think the purple looks way cooler than the black, suspect they both have the same components in them?

[Hertsman50]

Is it my imagination, this pedal seems a lot better than the tubescreamer. In fact I would say it makes the tube screamer sound like shit. Also does this pedal have true bypass. I want to use it with a fender hot rod deluxe, my Jackson guitar has twin seymour humbuckers. Do you reckon I could get some good kick butt sounds with this. I play anything from beatles to metallica. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

[copilottheband]

well, why compare it to a TS? two completely different circuits. this is an LM386 based design.

[TheDistortionist]

Depends. Is it a JB in the bridge?

[livegoodwin]

How different is this to the other purple plexi?

[Jb5258]

i wuz tryin to figure out the same thing

[livegoodwin]

no one seems to want to answer though!

not even PGS....

[aaaaadiesel]

What's the song's name at 0:10??

[frenzexperiment]

welcome to the jungle ,guns n roses

[ShredMaster58]

are you human?!?, how do you not know....

[Mikeelgafo]

that can't imitate the exact sound of a JCM 800...but still sweet tone :-D

[rodrigozamo]

agreed...

[stratmaniac]

of course it can't: it's a pedal, not a real jcm:)

[softfreak]

is the compression on the video made by the

video recording or by the purple plexi ?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Try listening to this video on our website. Youtube was adding some horrible compression at the time this was uploaded.

[treatb09]

whats the name of the song at the very biggining before hes playin with the pedal

[ketchup8989]

welcome to the jungle?

[bass1playa8]

I think hes talking about the Proguitar shop jingle

[Mohrghoul]

Is it an actual overdrive pedal, or is it an overdrive emulation pedal?

[Ruxie666]

??!

[Mohrghoul]

Can this pedal be used with non-tube amps? I mean does it emulate tube amps, overdrive tube amps, or both?

[coughlintm]

does compare/is it like the trower overdrive in person?

[javiceres]

This or the PlexiTone (Carl Martin) !?!?!?!? Don´t know waht ti buy?!?

[cyanide533]

much better than amp modelling effect processor craps

[willyxc4]

can i get slash sound with this?

[Relayer1968]

probably, plug something with a hot pair of humbuckers in and youll find something close to that appetite for destruction tone

[iPutaMadre69]

this pedal price is 220$,

with 220$

you can get

a much more slash sound

gut this drive is grate!!

[ninjabob3000]

I really want that marshall sound but im stuck. This or the Provalve. Both great sounding but which do I choose?

[rubmytummyforluck]

Id go marshall...not only do they sound great,they are a piece of rock n roll history...and they look cool.....however I play a 50 watt vox tube half stack so I'm no marshall expert......good enough for slash and jimmy page,good enough for me =)

[blakegamemaster]

too much midrange. i have an 800 and i happen to know that this pedal sounds like an 800 with the mid knob turned up too much.

[laus102]

u could just use a 10 band eq to eliminate that

[kramerblues89]

Hey PGS, how does this pedal sound boosted with a tube screamer? Any suggestions towards that would really help me in purchasing one. Thanks

[ninjabob3000]

is there any difference between this and the new black one?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Nope. Exact same pedal. Just a different color.

[rockhard33]

purples freaking cool, why would u want plain black?

[stratoman686]

I was about to by the Box of Rock last week. Man I'm glad i discovered this thing I need something with a little more gain. The black version seems to look a little better to. By the way thanks for the Clyde Deluxe it will never leave my board. : )

[brandonmercer839]

man if you want something with some good gain as well as nice versatility, try out the super charged distortion by catalinbread

[jtonessimo]

im surprised axl rose didnt sue your asses

[kapitch]

Please, a Carl Martin Plexitone review would be appreciated..

[SparcoRX7]

Yes I would appreciate that VERY much

[BballFanatic1]

SOLD OUT! NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION!

nooooooooooooooo, I was gona get this. What is a similar pedal that gives the plexi sound?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

The Purple versions are no longer made. We just received a whole bunch of black ones!

PGS

[prompen3]

guess i'll have to buy a black one instead then.....

[jdatnva]

Any difference other than the color? Lovepedal changes stuff a little too often and you never know what you'll get.

[Shaun7189]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Really? Did the change the name or something, cause I cant find it on your website. Thanks for the help :)

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@Shaun7189 - That comment is two years old, amigo. Lovepedal isn't currently manufacturing this model. Thanks!

-PGS

[decibell72]

sounds exactly like the COT 50 Gold with a touch more gain. probably just changed the clippers or used a higher gain transistor.

[idiot842]

how would one of these sound with a kramer baretta plugged in and ran thru a vox? my baretta has a gibson '57 classic plus humbucker in it btw.

[marcelcruzeiro]

I only wish it had more midrange, so I could replicate Page, Paul Kossoff and stuff like that. But, maybe with a Ts-9 boosting this might do the trick.

[Relayer1968]

or use a graphic EQ- gives you way more boosting options!

[terminalninja]

kossof FTW!

[varkunus]

i got a jcm 2000, and how would it cope with this pedal? What amp you using?

[WGMSMan]

He's playing a 65 Amps Soho.

[katarzis27]

how did you know that? lol.

[jingwah]

cause he tells us hes playing through it...

[zaxio1234]

we know everything.

[satchphobos]

welcome to the jungle????

[budasky]

Wow!! nice tone!!

[Scordare]

The tone with the G&L at full gain rips!

[thebeatled]

how does this pedal works with a strat ?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Check out 3:50 on the video. We plugged in a G&L Legacy for single coil action! The pedal has plenty of gain for both types of pickups. With the Freq knob, you can add extra low end to your Strat. Thanks,

PGS

[martinlutherkingIII]

i'm getting one of these things. would this sound good if it was boosted by a keeley fuzz head for solos?

[waylay00]

WOW, I want one of these! It sounds like my Splawn in a box!

[AirHendrix91]

Awesome review like usual!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do Paranoid Android by Radiohead in one of your Phaser reviews. I've been asking for ages lol.

[tonylamosa2]

Proguitarshop Rocks!!! You're the best, ever!

[mc1337w00t]

I NEED THIS PEDAL!!!!!

[97finder]

Great Demo, any chance of a OCD vs. PP800 demo?

[fragedallic]

Welcome to the jungle :)

Proguitarshop, you rock ! excellent review. Please review the Visual Sound pedals, H2O and Route66. It would be of great value on the review list.

[Relayer1968]

wow this sucker looks NICE
