First there was the Plexi-Drive. Then there was the Plexi-Drive Deluxe. Now, Wampler Pedals brings you the all-new Plexi-Drive Mini. Brian managed to cram an improved version of the original Plexi-Drive circuit into a miniature package and even added some new features.
Since the early '60s, Marshall® amplifiers have led the way in rock tones with legendary crunch and punchy bass response. Early rock legends such as: Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream and AC/DC helped create some of the most iconic rock sounds of all time and catapulted Marshall® to legendary status. Like the original, the Plexi-Drive Mini's unique gain structure covers everything from Vintage '68-style Plexi tones to the massive rock tones of a JTM-45® cranked to ten, even eleven...
The all-new Mid Boost circuit switch, never featured on any previous Wampler Plexi-style pedal, creates a powerful tube-like boost by adjusting multiple gain stages of the circuit at once. Combining these switches with the tone and gain controls provides impressive tonal flexibility from a mini pedal. Many players love using Tumnus, Clarksdale, and other types of OD pedals in the Plexi-Drive or Plexi-Drive Deluxe. For the Plexi-Drive Mini, Brian implemented gain and EQ stage changes in the average boost circuit to achieve a similar response - the result is astonishing, and with masses of gain at hand, Things are about to get loud! The Plexi Drive Mini also features our special Bass Boost switch which emulates the tonal difference between a 4x12 and 2x12 speaker.
