A few weeks ago, I acquired a Radial Tonebone Plexitube in a trade. So far, it's been a welcome addition to my signal chain, which goes as follows:
Dunlop Crybaby
Way Huge Green Rhino
EHX Lumberjack
Denelectro Fab Distortion
EHX Little Big Muff
Plexitube
This all runs into an early 70's silverface Super Reverb. My Strat is over at my dad's house, so I haven't tried single coils with this new setup, but the Les Paul/SG sounds killer. I leave the Plexitube on the yellow (low gain) channel all the time, with the drive all the way down. This gives an awesome crunchy tone that cleans up beautifully with the volume knob. If I kick on the Green Rhino (volume above unity, drive almost all the way down, bass flat, mids cranked, tone around 1:00), it's a killer old school rock/metal tone.
I'm not all that into the red channel, but it could easily do any metal tones up to Killswitch Engage. I haven't messed with the other pedals that much stacked with the Plexitube yet, but I'm happy enough with the Rhino & Plexitube, I could probably ditch the rest.
