Thus began one of Brian's focused, intense quests to design a pedal that takes the sound, the feel, the responsiveness of a special amp and replicate that magic, by whatever means necessary, in pedal form.After a lot of design adjustments and plenty of time spent over the breadboard getting it just right, the Plexi-Drive was born, and to this day it remains one of his personal favorites among the many fantastic pedals he's designed, a constant companion on his own pedal boards.Combining carefully-honed simplicity of function with enough versatility to make it useful for a range of different guitar and amp setups, the Plexi-Drive has become a favorite of many guitarists. Some use it to give their totally different amp that classic sound; others use it to allow them to use their JTM45® at lower volume levels without sacrificing tone.How you use it is up to you, but you have in your possession a fine piece of design and workmanship, responsive and powerful, truly a premier"Marshall®-in-a-Box" pedal..To get the most out of your new pedal, you'll want to become very familiar with the controls. The Plexi-Drive has a straightforward control scheme, and doesn't take a great deal of time to understand, but there are some subtleties to how it works its magic that should be explained. It features a three-knob control layout, the classic Volume, Tone, Gain setup, but to add an extra layer of versatility it also has a Bass Boost toggle switch that can give you more low end when engaged, especially helpful with single-coil pickups and amps that don't bring the thunder on their own.The Tone knob and the Bass Boost toggle provide a degree of interactivity that goes beyond your average three-knob overdrive, and the pedal uses carefully designed JFET transistor circuitry to give authentic, tube-like response and tone, possible with a 9V pedal. As with all Wampler Pedals products, the Plexi-Drive includes a high-quality true-by-pass switch which takes it completely out of the signal path when bypassed. Experiment and enjoy!
