The Plexi does have an unexplainable allure. I convinced my guitarist that this was the ax for him (I used to work in a shop that sold them). I remembered it as a beefy sounding Tele. I remembered …

Feb 8, 2021 · Wondering if anyone could shed some light on the different diode rectifier circuits in plexi (for example) circuits. 2, or 4 diode circuits can both be full wave? what is the difference in circuits …

Jan 31, 2022 · With a Plexi-style amp I like transistor-based overdrive and boost pedals. They seem to retain the best parts of the amp, and you can usually get a lot of touch-dynamics out of them if that's …

My bread and butter tones are either the X Modded, Friedman, JCM 800, Plexi and with a tube screamer from the GT1000 boosting them (gain low accordingly). For these kind of tones is the FM3 going to …

Yup, it’s a Plexi. Best to pretend the Master volume isn’t there at all. Attenuate. Yep. Seems to be the case. Some of the early reviews raved about the MV but it’s not super effective with this amp. It was …

I would love to try one of these amps out for sure! How would you Hiwatt foks describe the sound compared to a e.g marshall plexi?

AIAB: My Plexi-drive and Soldano SLO 100: since they're designed as ODs meant to hit a Pre-Amp, I assume I would run those into the quilter or other Pre-amp then hit the ox?

Is there a path to ground somewhere from the standby switch to the power switch or perhaps the power transformer is draining the volts? I will test this theory for myself with a 18 watt tube rectified and a …

My main exposure to classic Marshall circuits prior to building a Plexi-based amp was through modeling plugins like Mercuriall Spark. I think a lot of recent modeling solutions get in the ballpark in terms of …

This is the second McCarty I've owned. The first one didn't do anything for me, so I kind of wrote off PRS for a while. This one fell in my lap through a...
