Wampler Pedals Plexi-Drive Deluxe Demo

collapse expand iconDescription

Based on the classic Wampler Pedal “Plexi-Drive”, the Plexi-Drive Deluxe builds on the foundation of the original and gives you considerably more control to shape your tone. With a 3-band active EQ and additional brightness control, the Plexi-Drive Deluxe takes a huge step forward into the modern era of pedals. Complete with the perfectly voiced pregain booster, you can achieve almost any Plexi tone from virtually any amp.

Since the early '60s, Marshall Amplifiers® have lead the way in rock tones with its legendary tight overdrive and coveted bass response. Early rock legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream, and AC/DC helped lead the way in creating some of the most iconic rock tones ever produced and catapulted Marshall® into rock legendary status.

The Plexi-Drive Deluxe is a direct descendent of the Plexi-Drive Standard but with a few upgraded features. Like the original, the Plexi-Drive Deluxe’s unique gain structure can cover everything from Vintage ’68 style Plexi tones to the all out massive rock tones of a JTM-45® cranked to ten, or even eleven.

With the addition of an all-new active 3-band Bass/Mids/Treble EQ stack, you can now have even more tonal control. With the bass boost option, you can emulate the feeling of the low-end thump of a 4x12 cabinet (or two) at the flick of a switch and can allow you to dial in your low end at lower volume gigs or at bedroom volume levels. To compliment this, Wampler also added a bright switch to add high end sparkle, which makes changing from bright to dark guitars (and amps) a breeze. The Plexi-Drive Deluxe also features a one knob, pre-gain boost soft click switch that is voiced like “that ‘valve’ screaming green overdrive with pronounced mids” to help push your leads into thick creamy overdrive.

The Plexi-Drive Deluxe will fill your Marshall® void and give you the crunch, response, boost and feeling that your rig begs for. Whether you are playing sold out shows or rocking out by yourself, the Plexi-Drive Deluxe will take your tone and allow you to create your own flavor of rock.

Your search for the perfect versatile M.I.A.B. (Marshall® in a Box) can finally be over.

    I'm a home player and have tried many pedals to get that feel and tone of a maxed Marshall amp ... at playing at home volumes. With the gain maxed and the volume low this Wampler Plexi pedal does it for me. I have a UAFX Lion and it's great with all it's whistles and bells, but it's complicated. I just want to play guitar, not putz around on the computer. Thx Brian Wampler.

  • Great sound. Deliver all kind of plexi sound. Great pedal.

    I have wanted to own a Marshall Plexi or Jcm800 for a long time but have not wanted to spend the money on it and also they are just way too loud. This pedal convincingly produces Marshall Plexi amp tones from the JTM45 to the 1959SLP. The tone of this pedal is fantastic. I am playing through my 65 Fender Princeton Reverb Reissue which has a 10" speaker and it makes my Princeton sound like it's a marshall. The bass boost switch is very useful as it makes the amp sound like a Marshall played through a 4x12 cabinet. The build in tubescreamer circuit is very useful and adds a nice mid bump and gain stack. I like playing with the plexi drive circuit and using my boss SD-1 in front of it to push it and it sounds great. This will never leave my board. It has become my favorite pedal. This thing can go from clean to heavier gain. I am very impressed with this pedal overall and I held off on buying one for a while due to how expensive that it is but it is honestly worth the price.

  • Got mine today, love it!

    I bought mine used, pretty amazing how great this effect sounds. From light grit to blow the doors off. Get it!

    What can you say about Wampler? I think he is the king of dirt and this is no exception. This little box is like 40 years of Marshall stuffed in a soup can. It does the old bluesy combo stuff all the way up to JCM 900 face melting. The bright and bass switches are very useful. Brighten up a dark amp or guitar or calm it down. The built in tube screamer type circuit is just dynamite. You can run the screamer separate which is just killer. I just can't be happier. Now my Fender combo sounds like a Marshall stack. Love it.
