            Actual PLEXI's refer to the plastic-y / plexiglas panels on the old school Marshalls.

            That aside, Marshalls from 1967 - 1973 are handwired BEASTS! They sound unreal! Creamy, huge, angry, and toneful - tons of articulation, very warm, and very responsive to touch. They are also louder than hell! After 1974 they slowly got brighter and brighter, then mastervolume models came in and voila you had the brighter 80s metal crunch which Slash and Lynch exemplify

            Listen to any Allman Bros, Van Halen, Live ZEP, Free etc and its a 100w Plexi

              I skipped what are no doubt a lot of great replies, but here's my take.

              You start with a JTM45 and put in EL34's and a solid state rectifier and you've got a Plexi. There are only a very small handful of component changes from the JTm45. Mostly it's the power tubes and the rectifier.

                Yeah, if you ignore the tubes/rectifier, the 67 and 68 plexis were very similar to the JTM45's, sharing a lot of values on the circuit board and the large axial capacitors in particular
