Great demo, thanks. Just bought this pedal and it sounds great, for those who may have read a comment regarding the graphics pealing off, it's a clear protective film, same as you get on a Strat pick guard, it peals off. It's not plastic, great pedal for the money, sounds a lot better than some much more expensive alternatives. Definitely keeping this one on my board.

I've never played a real plexi. I do want this pedal. But really, it's the rush riffs that drove me to like, subscribe and comment.

[@warrenparker7312]

Great playing Rich. I've been looking at this pedal for awhile so I went ahead and hit the Amazon link.

[@RichBischoff]

Cool that whole reissue series from NUX is great.

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

I'm embarrassed to admit this; but I think I like this pedal more than the JHS Angry Charlie. I like the ability to control the mids and presence on the Plexi Crunch. The Charlie has a 3 band EQ but doesn't have the treble frequencies that I enjoy whereas the Plexi Crunch does.

[@phayzyre1052]

I just got one of these pedals yesterday and it’s a keeper! It’s Chinese made but it kicks a lot of those pricey boutique style crunch effects in the balls because you definitely get a lot of Marshall sounding bang for your buck with this one. Highly recommended!’ 👍👍🙂

I've seen other videos on it and it is definitely more responsive than a powerstack. I have a powerstack and it's fucking heavy on batteries and it's a bitch to get dialled in to the sound and tone you want

[@JuanJaim]

I just got this delivered today, found it used online and got it at a good price. I decided to try it out with my Epi LP and my Fender Champion 100. Sound was muddy and lacked, didn't feel like it was kicking me as hard as my Marshall AVT amp and thought I was probably scammed and sent a defective pedal... And then I realized I had my volume knobs rolled back to about 60%. 🤦‍♂ Then it hit me, and made my amp roar for sure. Great pedal, I love the dirty clean sound you can get with it.

[@croslowj]

I have the evh overdrive pedal and I just watched your video and loved the sound of the pedal. Went and bought one and it blows that evh away. Just wish it had a noise gate lol

[@bodyimager]

FYI, some are saying the pedal is plastic. Nope! Aluminum housing. Just got mine. Nice heft to it as well. Now to try it out.

[@christiantaylor4027]

Hi Rich. Taylor again. Just wanted to tell ya that is the heaviester{yup} tele anyone ever rocked in this time and space. I got this pedal after watching this demo and realizing i'd be fifty bucks poorer but oh so much richer{Rich!} if i bought this. And your settings saved a lot of time and muttering{that sounds like crap} to myself. My grasp of the obvious is awe inspiring. The sweet spot is the sweet spot. But there's lots of great sounds in there. If you don't have room for or can't be as loud as a marshall this is great. Rock on!

[@donaldlemieux]

HI Rich, thanks for your clip it's great. This pedal sounds really nice but it would be a great idea to put it head to head with another Plexi-type pedal to compare. There are so many called PLexi sound pedals available it can be hard to make a decision on which to purchase. I would like to see this one competition with Wampler Plexi drive or other top brands. Thanks again and have a great day

[@voiceofexperience]

My favourite pedal for single-coil lead tones.

[@jeffmarchant4312]

Good video set... And yes it sounds very much like a Plexi Marshall sound And all the riffs we use to drum up back in the day...Much like the Pink Floyd Wall riffs sound... And the Telecaster is a great enhancement to the pedal... All sounds of a single coil pickup Southern Rock drawl... You have a good ear...It was quite relaxing to hear for a change...

I've been looking forward to this review. My next big guitar purchase is going to be a tube amp head and cabinet, and I'm going back and forth between Marshall and Blackstar. I know it's not the same as a Marshall amp, but the pedal delivers a respectable representation of the Marshall tone. Maybe the Nux pedal and a Blackstar?

[@RichBischoff]

I need to try a Blackstar.

[@jefferson4245]

@@RichBischoff What draws me is their ISF feature, which purports to give Fender-ish to British-ish(?) voicing. They definitely have that British kind of clipping when driven in most reviews, but I want to have a nice clean pedal platform for when I just want pedal tone. The local GCs don't have any Blackstars (or any heads) available for demo, so it will be a blind purchase unless I travel to a bigger metro area.

[@tomfoolery2082]

For what its worth , i had a blackstar 20watt combo , did sound good . Died 2weeks after warranty . 2 techs said to me it would cost way past market value to fix it . Blackstar could not hav cared less . I Hav a dsl40 its great in every way . Thot ud like to kno . Good luck .

There is nothing cleaner than blakcstar ht20 clean channel its literally clean forever. Best budget tube pedal platform for sure. And the iaf is more like mesa on the american side not realy fenderish. You can make it fenderish just trebele and mids to max and bass to quarter with isf at like 9 o clock.

This is a good option but if your looking for something a little more high quality, maybe go with a Friedman BE OD pedal. Also maybe look at a Rat Pedal.

[@neilsnow7973]

Use a compressor pedal. Also a tube screamer would be a good idea. That will give you what you want. This pedal would probably also, but I recommend a compressor pedal for sure. I use one with my marshall and it really brings it to life.

Funny thing is.. companies could put any name on a pedal and people's minds would be tricked to believe that's the sound. So if they kept this pedal circuitry but put a silver panel on and named it fender crunch, people would believe it's a great sounding replicating fender tone. I have this today bought.

[@PaperBanjo64]

It has tone, that's the mids, and the presence knob is for the treble.

[@jessebreakspear6656]

I was really disappointed with this pedal. I mean it had a good slightly splatty tube-like sound, but like a lot of cheaper amps and overdrive pedals, it was voiced badly in the high frequencies. I found it had too much of an aggressive high-frequency roll-off I had to use an eq pedal after it to bring back in the 6k. IMO a boss blues driver sounds a lot better but for $50 I can't complain too much I guess. to be fair if you prefer a darker sound and don't like a lot of 6-7k slice in your sound you might love this pedal.
