Will the Plextortion do saturated lead sounds? im wanting a hot plexi sound that keeps the mids nice an full too.

[wampcat]

@Danthehorse Most definately, it's really good for that JCM 800 sound, the start of this video is quite scooped as the mid is set to about 11 o'clock, but at about 1:00, you can hear the mids come back in. The great thing about it is that when you adjust the EQ control it won't muddy up, but change the character of the sound in the correct way. If you are after the Hot Plexi into the JCM800 zone, then this is the pedal. Original Plexi sounds - less "gainy" tone, the Plexi-Drive would be the one.

@wampcat Many thanks for your reply, this could be the one for me.

@Danthehorse No worries - our pleasure, maybe be worth seeing if there is a dealer near you to give it test run..? PM me if you want a heads up on dealers :)

Some right arrogant idiots below!! Wampler pedals are NOT overpriced! they cost the same as a Boss or Line 6 pedal and sound loads better!! its more like the mainstream companys are ripping people off with their Chinese built FX!! and another thing! Brian deserves the money he makes! spending time and energy to design and build guitar players pedals that are worth using!! people who say they can build pedals like this with ease?? wheres your website and quailty pedal building rep then?? NIL!

[Greenballed]

True,but if your handed the components, could you build one? What would you charge for your time on top of that? Would you paint it? How would you pay your employee's selling these for $25. Just an observation but they are selling you a great sounding pedal that would make your grandma's Boss pedals bury themselves in shame. I heard some of Brians stuff and sold what I had. You definately get what you pay for with them. Otherwise they wouldn't be in business.

Wow!!! I am soooo impressed with this pedal. I have a jcm900 that I wish it wasmore of an 800. Now I'm going to buy this pedal and use it's clean channel only and this pedal as my lead "channel": I just wonder if it can give me that agressive bottom/ early zakk wylde/ southern rock sound when i do palm muted power chords... BUt really, incredible sounding amp... My god... I was going to spend my money on a JCM800...

That switch on the down position sounds throwaway, might as well switch to middle and take the switch off.

Never mind....

Hey what amp are you using in the vid???

Thanks and Love the Plextortion!!!

[CarvinTone]

Wampler's for around $200 are 5 times the usual crappy $130 pedals!

I am grateful Brian has them at $200, if you are using little Boss and other crap Wampler might be too much for you. Best drives and high gain distortion you are going to find, it is just a matter of tweaking to your guitar rig and your taste.

I am so picky when it comes to overdrives and I picked the Ecstasy hands down, the '65 is cool because it is a JFET platform. Just the best pedals Brian, the best!!!

@wampcat Thanks ,yes I just got a purple version today in the mail ,Sounds great! :)

[wampcat]

@nylonsteel The changes are cosmetic only. There is a lighter purple one, not light blue that I've ever seen..!

[nylonsteel]

just wanted to know if the changes were only cosmetic or internals as well

[nylonsteel]

These were made in a lightblue color as well right?

[geespar1]

I don't usually like distortion pedals, but this one sounds superb, I would ask how you do it, but why spoil the magic!
