Mini Marshall Stack in a box - Wampler Plexi Drive Mini Review

[@therealrilezz]

SOLD! I just got a Les Paul, and I didn't want to have to buy a new Marshall amp to get these tones. Thanks for this overview, it was a great demonstration of this little pedal.

[@pauld6266]

Only just found this one as thinking about this pedal. Good review bringing plexi back! lol 😂

[@chriswoods1234]

I'm bringing plexi back - like the hot rodded tone myself. Wampler makes great pedals!

[@DBroce]

I’ve brought Plexi back! I bought this pedal a week ago, it’s added a completely new sound to my rig. Bought one used for $100 and it was brand new.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

You got a great deal there! Enjoy it.

[@marxug1]

Hey, I’m bringing plexi back! 👏 One thing you didn’t cover is response to guitar-volume roll-down, which is excellent and gives you access to all those low-gain tones. I have one of these feeding a Mesa Rectoverb, which is not a very Marshally-sounding amp without some help. The Plexi Drive gives it the help it needs.

[@donwhitesel12]

I'm bringing plexi back! Excellent video and pedal review. I like how you covered all the classic tones which is really helpful. I'll definitely subscribe. As they say cheers!

[@vidarfro]

I'm bringing Plexi back! I love the Plexi-drive. I have the Deluxe, the Standard and the Mini. They're all a bit different soundwise. The Deluxe is a bit darker and feels more compressed, the Standard more open, less compressed and less gainy, the Mini the most gainy and "aggressive". The Standard is the best for more vintage sounds and is my favourite of the three.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks for the roundup! I would love to try the Standard in that case.

[@vidarfro]

@@TheGuitarGeek I don't think they make the standard any more, but if you find it used I highly recomend you try it :)

[@vidarfro]

I made a video comparing the three pedals not long ago. Not a great video like the ones you make, but you can hear the differences. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYPRlmawo6xqjac

[@rangerc310]

I got this pedal and it even made a Squire Strat sound good. Seriously though. Great tone.

[@KordTaylor]

Wow! A really great demo. I think I want one. Thank you. ❤

[@tomdameek]

Wow !! That’s so AcDc 😍😍😍 I really loved this pedal and this demo - cheers Andy I’m bringing Plexi back 😃👍👍

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Have fun! Thanks Tom

[@darvinclement3250]

When you plugged in the Strat I thought it sounded better but figured it was just me. I was happy when you confirmed.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Yeah! It feels more responsive with a Strat but it also kills with humbuckers!

[@timhopkins3810]

I’m bringing plexi back 😊 I feel like this was a different video to last time when you were largely talking about ghostbusters with Jamie Humphries and being the only channel to run it at 18v - I think that video was the reason why I subscribed to this channel 😂

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Welcome back! Yes we did 18V, I didn't feel 18V made the pedal sound any better once I got it into my studio so I kept it at 9V but I am glad Jamie and I had a chance to do it

[@PooNinja]

Whamp ya amp into shape, kick it right in the Pre! Brian building breadboard boosters for a better tomorrow. I forgot the fraze but I was at, The End… wait isn’t that a Ravenonettes song?

Hello back, from a Marshall sound loving enthusiast. 👍🏻And, now that I've finished watching, I kinda dig the sounds that it gets. Perhaps....I'm bring plexi back!

Gotta love the Plexi tone. I have the Plexi Drive Deluxe you can dial whatever tone variation you want. However, I am currently using my Xotic SL for simplicity great tone (not as flexible) and small size.

[@sebassie25]

[@jdwilliams202000]

I’m bringing plexi back .. again This pedal works better for my higher gain needs then the JHs CB v4 that doesn’t get a bit of gain until 75% on the gain dial 😮

[@JaniceLalla]

I'm bringing plexi back, and yes, I was listening on ear buds with my phone and didn't hear much bass

I’ve successfully brought plexi back, with your help. However, I’m torn between this and the JHS Charlie (not the angry version). Any advice??

Great review! Bravo!

And of course…. I too am bringing Plexi back…. Now that I ordered this pedal 😊

I thought that my pinnacle was, well the pinnacle of Marshall sound but I think I am bringing plexi back.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I think there's room for this tiny little beast too!

[@gregmorgan9564]

Good job almost got the Plexi Drive opted the EHX Glove instead. After hearing you play that Plexi it just might be in my future. I will be sure to use your Sweetwater link. You play way better than that Ryan guy.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Good choice! Thanks man, Ryan who?

Happy to give that a go and post something soon. Or... you could tell me! ;-)

[@Turbo-D]

in my experience some of the very cheap china plexi pedals from donner, mooer, rowin etc sounding at least as good as this one if not better sometimes.. i did a shootout comparing 8 of those pedals a/b and the clear winner was..and stil is.. the mighty mosky plexi-m, second nux plexi crunch, both @ 25-30€

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks Chris. Did you make a video? I would love to watch. I also tried this against the Nux Plexi Crunch at a band rehearsal and for me, the Wampler cut better and left the NUX a little wimpy sounding. I will try it again in a video.

[@stanislavmigra]

Im bringing plexi back. If I had vintage pickuped strat, it be very tempting, but with humbuckers, it dont sounded bad, but not the sound Im actualy missing.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I hear you there.

[@andyjm7122]

Hey man, great to hear this as a potential boost pedal! I was wondering if it could do that. By the way what amp were you using here?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I was using the Fender Deluxe Reverb

[@jc23858369]

Great video! I decided to buy one, you may want to listen to Highway to hell again before you try and play it, just sayin! Everything else sounded fantastic though…. 😊

[@TheTubeDude]

Thank you.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

You're welcome!

[@music.corner]

why don't you compare the fender+plexi drive to the marshall sv20h (the mini plexi) without a pedal?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

The Marshall currently needs a new pre amp tube. I will compare a series of pedals once I get the Marshall up and running again

[@LogicDerp]

I'm bringing Plexi back! or not, I have a dookie drive and a revv G4, but yes it sounds great!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

oh man the dookie drive is phenomenal! I need to spend more time with my G4

[@LogicDerp]

@@TheGuitarGeek The G4 has been the only pedal that I've tried that sounds better than real tubes to me but I don't use it crazy high gain. I use the G4 with everything around 12 but the mids at 3 o'clock, the switch in the middle. I also run it as a true "preamp" into the fx return of my amp bypassing the amp's preamp section (HT60)

[@davebmassey]

I can't bring Plexi back too much - the Plexi tone doesn't really do it for me. I like the mid switch on this one, but Plexi's always sound so harsh and crispy to me. I could do low gains on this maybe. Great playing and very helpful video!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks for sharing! I love the crispiness. For low gains, this plexi is good with the single coils

[@PhilLament]

It seems to me that most "amp in a box" pedals focused on the drive tones. Which pedals out there are good simulators of amps in general (clean to dirty)? Edit: excluding modelers.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

You should check out the Joyo "Sound" pedals

[@juanjan__]

I'm bringing plexi back - Great video, amazing sound! Next to this one for Marshall Plexi tones, which pedal(s) would you recommend as similar to a JCM800? So far my money goes to the JHS Angry Charly (I'd actually get the Boss/JHS Angry Driver to get an extra Blues Driver in the mix by sacrificing the eq on the Angry Charly) but do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

[@DSilvergun]

This or SL Drive?

[@Allthingsambient]

can this pedal shoegaze?

I'm sorry... Were you talking about a pedal? I didn't notice because my brain was repeatedly going" "Red Revv G20?!! Red Revv?! Red Revv?!" Throughout the whole first 5 minutes, My bad : )
