Mini Plexi Drive from Wampler demo, using Fender & Vox amps

[@traceyoungs1637]

Thank you for not using a $3,000 amp for a pedal demo!

[@1thess523]

I know a guy who plays a Tyler amp and every single pedal sounds so good through it, he plays from inexpensive to expensive pedals and that amp just makes each one sound 👌

[@whiskybravo4648]

I can’t recommend Wampler pedals enough. The man is the king of gain pedals.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

He's the King of ALL pedals. I love them all. Between him and JHS I don't need anything else.

[@shalabazertheboltstruck8645]

Soooo agreed

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

@@shalabazertheboltstruck8645 Yes. The Sovereign is my all time fave. The Plexi is so sweet sounding. And for really high gain, the Dracarys (spelling?) is King. All the other flavors are also excellent

[@banditsharp]

I decided not to buy a Plexi Drive Mini...I bought two instead! The one and only time I’ve EVER bought two of the same. Something comforting knowing I’ve got a spare...just in case! This is without doubt the most convincing ‘Marshall in box’ pedal I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing through. BUY THIS PEDAL!

[@iradflores8276]

My first High Quality pedal was a Plexi Drive. I looked into a ton of pedals that advertised that they'dgive my fender a marshall tone and yours is the one I believed delivered the best! Thanks for your fantastic pedals Mr Wampler! A Pantheon is next on my list

Plexi Drive is one of my all-time favourite pedals. Has never left my board since I got it. The mini looks like a good option, especially with the extra mid boost switch.

[@GTRxMan]

The sound of my Plexi Drive and Tumnus stacked is pure gold. What a great idea to add the mid switch. You're going to sell a bunch of these.

[@engelsjn]

that is so good to hear! I just ordered this plexi mini and the tumnus mini has been my go to pedal for a few years. I wondered about how they would sound stacking!

[@AuntAlnico4]

Screwing awesome, you should hear the tumnus into a real vox or Marshall !

[@sega62s]

how do you set those ? plexi into tumnus or opposite?

[@clavroc1906]

So, I had the hardest time finding the right low-gain pedal to accompany my mini Plexi-drive. Alas, after many futile attempts and disappointing purchases, the answer was right in front of me, the whole time: A 2nd mini Plexi-drive set to low gain.. Thanks, Brian, for making such a wonderful pedal!😉👍🤙

[@nathancourtney2006]

Thanks, most of us probably don't have have all the bells and whistles. We're just trying to expand our options and become better guitar players. Thanks again for being real.

[@EmilioConesa]

Just received mine from you guys. Man, this thing is a lot of fun. From low to high gain totally kills! A+

[@BangDoMusic]

I got it "Mini" today, my working band play a wide range from country to Rock. My leader recommended this pedal and now I just need one switch to change from low gain overdrive to Rock/Metal distortion. The bass boost is very useful, like clean up the sound, It feels like "scoop" in the high gain mode. Hand down for this pedal, thank you for the great work 👍👍👍

[@hcrockso1]

Sounds amazing! Sounds more authentic to my ears than some actual plexi style amps...

[@gatlinjb]

This is a personal perspective...Brian you are a very kind and remarkable Gentleman...I thank you for your kindness Happy Holidays to YOU and Family Cheers from Newport Beach, CA. ✌🏿

[@Savior.Mountgreen]

Purchased recently, it's a wonderful pedal, I really like it, compliments to the manufacturer

[@ivanrosemusic]

This is the best overdrive pedal I own, to my surprise. It just works. Especially in a mix.

[@musicbinderpro8903]

I have a lot of pedals of different brands, BOSS, MXR, JHS, Ibanez, ... and my last purchase was the Wampler Tumnus Deluxe. It became my favorite pedal few minutes after playing with it. Two days ago, I ordered the Wampler Plexi Drive Deluxe and I should receive it this saturday. I’m so excited! If I fall in love with this one too, Wampler pedals will be my first choice for all my future pedals. Brian, many thanks for all your videos, they are very informative and honest. 👍

[@wampler_pedals]

Thanks so much :-)

[@musicbinderpro8903]

Wampler Pedals I have received my Wampler Plexi Drive Deluxe today. Wow! This is what I said as soon as I played my first riff with all buttons at noon. Very high quality pedal and very nice sound! Thumbs Up Mr Wampler! I’m now a big fan of Wampler pedals and the next one on my list is the Wampler Ego Compressor V2 :) Many thanks!

[@timothyholmes4588]

I haven't picked up a wampler pedal yet . been wanting one for a while and a plexidrive is looking damn good . it really has a nice burn as far as I can tell on the videos I've seen.

[@MichaelZola]

I waited very patiently until the release. Built a new board around it featuring an MXR phase 95, a Mini Ego, Carbon copy and EP Booster. It’s a monster with plenty of gain. Don’t have to crank any knobs to get proper distortion and that’s a beautiful thing. Now we need the Pantheon Mini!

[@Dungeon_of_Regret]

That midswitch to the left sounds amazing!

[@bretthamilton7308]

Damn. I play a tele through a deluxe and was looking for a Marshall type gain. This sounds great. I'm excited.

[@darvinclement3250]

Another thumbs up for using a regular persons amp. If I had a Marshal then I wouldn't need the pedal in the first place. Awesome pedal by the way!

[@mattgilbert7347]

It crossed over into almost-Fuzz with the neck pup on the LP O'Caster into the HRD. Loved it. Great job, can't wait to play some Gilmour with this.

[@chefallen520]

Lots of Tone and Power in that Pedal.

[@bobbyguynashvilleguitar1846]

Brian - just bought the mini plexi this am, and I am psyched. Sounds awesome in the vids, and your stuff sounds even better in person. Will post an Instagram loop with it when it hits. Love the mids switch idea.

[@jonlohrenz5446]

A hot rod deluxe on 4.5? You’re a brave man!

[@machmen1000]

I have the deluxe and playing by myself I don’t use it much but in the context of a band I’ve been putting it to good use. My church uses Vox AC15’s. Who would have thought that I needed a Marshall Plexi tone in church? Lol.

[@joshdeal575]

I'd totally use a Marshall Plexi tone in church, for a lot of the modern contemporary tunes. I bet a cranked Plexi tone would go great on a song like Rattle by Elevation Worship or any Lincoln Brewster song.

[@mikehoehn1475]

Best Tele tone to date. Cool

[@victorjbarker]

This pedal sounds effing incredible! Getting one!

[@paulcowart3174]

I bought this today and I was inspired. I've been playing a long time and I put this through A Power Amp Pedal and Holy Shit. My next purchase will be the Moxley.

[@b-regsproductions]

@wampler Pedals, thank you for showing the cleanish boost side of this pedal

[@b-regsproductions]

@wampler pedals - thinking about swapping out my Blues driver (phat modded) for this. There seems to be not enough transistor based overdrive options in this realm (but what do I know?) I know there are a couple blues driver clones but I would love something in a small foot print that isn’t moer. Something about the touch sensitivity- I’ve tried so many other drives and the original blues driver circuit, while not perfect, makes me perform way better. My dream is for either a mini take on a blues driver that really ups the game or a vertical blues driver with an added transistor boost. For now I’m looking into the plexi mini- gonna run that at low gain 18 volts.

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Can't wait to get my hands on that pedal.

[@kevinhetzel8654]

[@wampler_pedals]

Sooon 😉

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I have three flavors of OD/Distortion from this man. The Soveriegn, the Plexi Drive Deluxe and the Dracarys. I also use the Ego compressor and the Ethereal reverb/delay. I have the dB V2 clean boost/buffer pedal. I want his amp/cab next. Everything is built with top level components and designed like a tank.

[@joelghuggins]

Great video. Was hoping to hear the guitar volume cleanup. Which is very important for my style. I’ve heard the cleanup is great, however.

[@xjohn1970]

@Wampler Pedals : About the Bass Switch. Does having the Bass Switch, Switched to the Right Cut the Low 60Hz-70Hz-80Hz? Or does having the Bass Switch, Switched to the Left Cut the Low 60Hz-70Hz-80Hz???

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

It is a killer pedal at any price. BIG BUT it is affordable . WOW!

[@KordTaylor]

I want this. Have a wonderful Angry Charlie by JHS but want something more low-gain, in-modded, Plexi “Marshall in a box” for that cool mid-range Presence. Also was hoping small mini pedal if possible and YEAH there you are. Thank you! ❤

[@rockhead11]

There are a bunch of videos comparing this to the Nux Plexi but the Wampler is so much more musical. The Nux is over the top at zero gain so I deem that pretty much useless. Wampler got this right. Marshal sound with tight overdrive up to a nice punchy distortion.

[@thedakotahurley]

Ok now I’m torn between the Plexi Drive Deluxe and this one… Which one would suit me better for country rock? Am I missing out on tonal opportunities by buying one versus the other?

[@wampler_pedals]

I’m preferring the mini plexidrive currently personally

[@thedakotahurley]

@@wampler_pedals right on, thanks!

[@TheQShow]

Hello Mr. Wampler! I generally use my plexi deluxe with the bright switch on, does this pedal have a similarly articulate high end or does the tone knob eq sort of fundamentally change how the pedal interacts with the distortion? The small form factor here has a lot of appeal to me but the deluxe is my favorite drive in my rig currently 🤔

[@idogn]

Dude, you're a genius

[@pedrolourenco2707]

Dear Brian, do you have any pedal with Bass and Treble controls before Gain? I would love to have a pedal that could shape sound as my Deluxe reverb... the 65 is no longer available and I didn't have the opportunity to try it ou!

[@InTheSh8]

Heavenly sound!

[@cdbrown30]

Mini people asked Brian to make this mini pedal. I’m probably getting one

[@KM-302]

The plexi drive deluxe was the only pedal that ever sounded good into my vox ac15. It has a huge spread of tones. I miss that combination. The mini sounds equally as good.

[@georgeluna2476]

Now that's a Plexi Sound!!! Bryan Rules!!!

[@waynecorners6]

I bought one and it’s fantastic. However the boost switches don’t appear to do anything on mine. Are they just that subtle?

[@Enjay79]

[@yannlaliberte8407]

nice sound, interessting.

[@VMV8622]

I'm curious to hear that through a boss katana 🤔🤔🤔 if the best seller in solid state amps can match the best plexi pedals maker.......

[@eddiepierce7028]

I find it interesting as someone green chasing tone, watching all of your videos what sound I hear the clearest is the sound of the musician. There’s a lot of different ‘tones’ but they all sound like you. I’ll need to practice more...

[@Xyrium]

The higher strings still seemed pingy instead of plicky, if you know what I mean. Not juicy /chewy like a a dimed old Marshall. I wonder if it's the Fender behind it. Edit: That said, I just received this little gem yesterday...very nice. You can indeed get a chewy sound out of it with the boost engaged and a little hair on the amp gain. Love it...thanks Brian!

[@rowotan7367]

Does this pedal sound any different from the distortion channel on a Marshall DSL40?

[@wampler_pedals]

Yeah, a bit different from that type of circuit

[@EricBourassa]

debating between this or a Carl Martin plexitone or Keeley El Rey something something. anyone been able to test it against the plexi drive deluxe? i like the small footprint of this but i also like the idea of the deluxe having a tube screamer added kind of sound

[@kevinjohnbetts]

Not that I've tested them but do you mean the old mains powered Plexitone, the later battery powered one or the newest one with the Rangemaster boost switch on it? I've heard demos of them all but the new Plexitone sounded incredible. A bit 'old school' for some I suppose though.

[@kevinjohnbetts]

On the topic of the Keeley El Rey Dorado I've been chatting a bit with Robert about building another Univibe based workstation. He's covered two of the classic users with the Monterey (Hendrix) and the Dark Side (Gilmour) but the Univibe plus El Rey Dorado would give him the triumvirate by giving us the Trower sound in a box. I can live in hope can't I. Still, that's not helping you is it. My opinion is that if space is an issue then the Wampler Mini is your pedal of choice. If you want the modern(-ish) classic rock sound then the Plexidrive Deluxe is the one but if you're more into the late 60s/early 70s tone then the new Carl Martin Plexitone seems to recreate that sound perfectly.

[@EricBourassa]

@@kevinjohnbetts awesome thank you!

[@EricBourassa]

@@kevinjohnbetts if I go plexitone either the small gold one or the new with added rangemaster, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it for the new one or not

[@kevinjohnbetts]

@@EricBourassa I think the new version is perfect if you're running the Plexi side with stacks (pun intended) of gain. If you're just looking to add a little Plexi colour to your tone then the small gold one should be adequate. When I owned a Victory V40 I used a Xotic SL-Drive for classic rock tone and then drove it with JRAD Archer. For a dep gig I played 'Sweet Child Of Mine' with that rig and got pretty close to the 'Slash' tone. I did also drive it with a tubescreamer clone and got some great sounds. Lately I've been messing around with heavily overdriven tones on my Victory RD-1 and a Rangemaster (actually a Catalinbread Naga Viper) is delivering the goods. Whatever you choose should sound good but the way you want to use it will dictate which one that is. 🙂

[@onewiththings]

I wish my Deluxe had a Tumnus instead of a TS. Any chance you can offer a mod to do that?

[@angbernardo]

Anyone with experience using both the Catalinbread DLS and the PlexiDrive? In what ways do their tones differ/compare? I currently pair my DLS with both the Tumnus Deluxe and EP Booster.

[@felixayala05]

[@getredytagetredy]

Your mamas money

[@rabbirelax]

Daaaaammmmmmnnnnn...that sounds great!

[@aquilarossa5191]

It does not sound exactly like my JMP 50 amp build, but it definitely sounds closer to a Marshall that the Fender amp did to begin with (I think it would sound even closer with the amp running into Celestion speakers in a Marshall style 4x12 or 2x12 open cab). I am trying to think of a way my nephew can get his Twin Reverb to sound more like classic Marshall crunch that he needs for playing some stuff. He is at uni right now, so can't afford amps, but can afford pedals. I am not sure what would work with a Twin, if anything, because those amps are not exactly a neutral clean pedal platform, i.e., scooped and round etc.

[@ryans9029]

Revival drive will do it. All day.

[@dreaddzera]

Why Plextortion was discontinued ? It is a very very good pedal, I run mine on a fender twin amp and this thing makes my AMP hot as a JCM800.

@@charlieboyd2453 I meant more along the lines of something as mid scooped as a Princeton Reverb.
