Wampler Plextortion Distortion Pedal

The Plextortion is a distortion pedal that was originally designed to
emulate a “JCM800®” with Celestion Greenbacks (If you think of those
great tones from Back in Black era AC/DC, all the way through to (post
DLR) Van Halen, Dokken, Ratt, Guns'N'Roses and all those amazing 80's
rock “cranked Marshall” tones). It has a very brown sounding distortion,
in a way, quite similar to our Pinnacle pedal.

It differs from
the Pinnacle in that it is a tighter distortion, more like pre amp tube
distortion where the pinnacle is a bit looser, more like power tube
distortion. This difference, although hardly noticeable to your average
person, is hugely important when looking for “that” sound, Never before
has a pedal given that high gain tone that would appear to be pre-amp
driven and power-amp driven.

I've noticed that some guys like
play their distortion pedals that emulate Marshall tones THROUGH a
Marshall. Let's be honest - I can play a chorus pedal through a Marshall
and get a very “Marshally” sounding chorus pedal... In my opinion this
isn't a fair or accurate representation of a pedal. Because of this, I
record my clips and videos through everyday affordable guitars and amps
in order to be as accurate as possible.
