WAMPLER PLEXTORTION

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 Pinnaclepedal.

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 – we can play a chorus pedal through a Marshall® and get a very Marshall® sounding chorus pedal… In our opinion this isn’t a fair or accurate representation of a pedal. Because of this, we record our clips and videos through amps that are completely different in character to Marshalls® in order to be as accurate as possible.
