Best Plexi toanz for under $500 used?

[SirJackdeFuzz II]

Damn. Wish I had seen this earlier. After test driving the DLS, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Class 5 head for $300 shipped. Then ordered new tubes (NOS Mullard 12AT7, Genalex gold pin 12AX7, and Genalex EL84) based on internet research, and also after watching this video:

I will be running it through an Orange PPC112 with a Greenback. Also have a H&K TM110 with a Creamback that I can try (travel rig).

Sounds really good.
What pick ups do you have in that LP ?

This one will do really nice (bit grittier) plexi-type tones with the right Cab/guitars.

I bought mine new a few years go from this ^^ store (....shipped from Finland for about &450...'cause I bought two heads together)
Reached me in about a week....no problems at all (I'm not in the US though)

Interesting. That's a cool tone but not what I think of when I think of a plexi Marshall.

This is what I think of:

This has way more mids and gain than a classic Plexi tone.

 

[Phantasmagoria]

I agree...but it can get kinda close (AC/DC tones all day long) if dialed in that way which I did'nt do in the demo. But yeah...like I said it's grittier/the mids are more prominent.

But I was thinking of the OP's price cap mostly...or I'd have suggested this baby for $1500+ more :lmao:

As fine a plexi tone as you will ever hear... :bigthumb:

Just not too easy on the pocket

Sorry, that was someone else’s video. I’ve got a Gibson Marauder (‘76?).

 

[BenPerkins]

So yeah... gonna need an attenuator. Preferably something that doesn’t color the tone. I am thinking $200 or less. Any suggestions? Maybe a Weber Mini Mass?

Long story short, I’ am in the doghouse for waking up my 4 year old.

 

[beaubrummels]

I have a Weber MASS. Works well, but it's not perfect. It has switches and things to make up for the tone loss, which help a great deal, but don't exactly counter all the negative effects of an attenuator. Using the line out and reamping with a clean low power monitor system is almost better than running into guitar speakers fully attenuated. But either way it's still very satisfying to play, much moreso than low-powered amp simulators that don't respond correctly to touch.

You could look for a Traynor YBA-2.

What about a Bugera Power Soak?
