This scaled-down mainstay from Wampler still has a big sound! Give any rig some British flavor and push your amp into a searing overdriven sound.
Overview
First there was the Plexi-Drive. Then there was the Plexi-Drive Deluxe. Now Wampler Pedals brings you the Plexi-Drive Mini. Brian has managed to fit an improved version of the original Plexi-Drive circuit into a miniature housing and even added some new features.
Since the early '60s, Marshall amplifiers have led the way in rock tones with legendary crunch and punchy bass response. Early rock legends such as: Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream, and AC/DC helped in creating some of the most iconic rock tones ever and catapulted Marshall into legendary status. Like the original, the Plexi-Drive Mini's unique gain structure covers everything from Vintage '68 style Plexi tones to the all-out massive rock tones of a JTM-45 cranked to ten, or even eleven.
The Plexi Drive Mini features a special Bass Boost switch which emulates the tonal difference between a 4x12 and 2x12 speaker cab. The Mid Boost circuit switch, never featured on any previous Wampler Plexi style pedals, creates a warm throaty tube-like boost by tweaking several gain stages of the circuit at once. The combination of these switches with the Tone and Gain controls offer impressive tonal flexibility from a mini pedal.
Many players love to run Tumnus, Clarksdale and other OD type pedals into the Plexi-Drive or Plexi-Drive Deluxe. For the PLEXI DRIVE MINI, Brian implemented gain stage and EQ changes within the circuit to approximate a similar response - the result is astounding.
- Famous Plexi Drive sound with custom Mid Boost circuit and classic Bass Boost circuit

- Dimensions: 1.5" x 3.5" x 1.5" (38.1mm x 88.9mm x 38.1mm) - height excludes knobs and switches

I had the Plexi Drive Deluxe, I ended up selling it and regretting selling it, so I picked up the Mini version and it has the same awesome tone, it's a big beefy tone it has to be used with a tube amp- as previously stated in another review, it probably does sound fizzy using solid-state amplifier, but with tube amps, you're going to love it, humbucker, single coil, they both sound great!
