I want a pedal that can go in front of my amp on a clean channel to give me some awesome distortion (it would be really nice to have two channels of distortion rhythm and lead) and/or a boost. I am looking at the Plexitone and the Jekyll and Hyde. I am trying out a J&K now. It is nice but I could use more distortion (I use the pickup booster to add more gain). Which is better Plexitone or J&K? I don't really want to spend any more than 210.

Re: Plexitone vs. Jekyll and Hyde
the jandK is a great relitively inexspensive pedal...you might want to check out the new SD SFX-03 (search this forum)...if I had a real amp id get one.
its either that or the MXR double shot distortion.
my blatantly ignorant opinion

Re: Plexitone vs. Jekyll and Hyde
What amp is used?
And how much is much distortion?
The Plexi is an overdrive, clear and revealing, got a healthy lowend, and have some gain, but it does not compress much on its own, works good with Marshall/Hiwatt/British styled amps, likes greenbacks, and G12H 30 speakers, preferly in closedback cabs.

I get some great sounds out of my J&H, and it's versitile! Never tried the Plexitone I'm afraid, but I'd be surprised if it gave you more "distortion" than the J&H.

Here you go, sound clips and all, the Morpheus is my favorite pedal for all out GAIN, but still tight as hell..... sorry not sure if these fit within you budget....

Re: Plexitone vs. Jekyll and Hyde
Hey guys. My amp is a Crate VFX 5212 tube amp. yes it has distortion but I want a pedal to use on the clean channel to have distortion with flexibility and so I can use my delay in front of the amp. I also have a Fender Bassman reissue. The more I play the j&k the more I like it. and it is pretty versitile. I really don't know what I mean by more distortion. I guess just more gain, but I can use the pickup booster to add more gain, I guess, the j&K doesnt have as much gain as the amp but the distortion sounds better with the J&K. I still need to try out the J&K at a band practice. any other suggestions.

If you use both sides of the J&H together, you can get some pretty wicked distorted tones.

Actually I don't think you can compare them much as it is
