Well first clip of the 9v Plexitone.....

Getting there now.....
Took it home to test it here as well....
I revoiced it as well, more oldschool now, but still with that old bite, but more evenly eq'ed now.
Same amount of dirt avaible, will feel louder due to the more pronounced mids, it has become more clear sounding as well, meaning it sticks more out, while not being unpleasent....
Took a hint from an old 1987 50watter Plexi head instead.
So it is not as glassy and wide as the old one...more wooden or something like that!

Dunno here is a clip, excuse the crappy playing, I am tired after a few rather long days...haha
Used my JB strat and the Laney VC-15 110, delay is my Vox Time Machine.

Re: Well first clip of the 9v Plexitone.....

I agree. More solid sound, though I'm guessing you sacrifice a little headroom and dynamics by going 9v..? Not that we could tell with your playing though...! That was awfully tasty!

The old Plexitone is amazing but definitely sounds a lot better with a Marshall style amp (i.e. get a 'real feel' distortion channel at much lower volumes). This one seems like it'd be better suited to other amps.

How close/far to the Crush zone is it? I remember the CZ as being a nifty high gain distortion, a tiny bit edgy on the treble...

nice playing, as always, I particularly like the hair on the tones in the second part of the clip! Huge & natural sounding!
 
Re: Well first clip of the 9v Plexitone.....

Dam! This is going to be a very tough call! I absolutely love the original PT, but this one sounds just as good and better in some ways. I've been kicking around building 2 boards.....1 for the 80's HAIR RACK lol and another for the Marshall(and Mesa when I get around to buying another one)head/cab setup.

In your opinion which do you think would work better with what? The DSL already sounds really good, but I think a good EQ and the old PT would work wonders for it, but the pedal is so dam big, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out where to put it on a board.

I'm trying to keep the rack sort of simple in terms of a board. It's basically going to have a wah, a couple dirt boxes, and a midi controller for channel changing and to control the MP-1's and Alesis Quadraverb(yes, I got one of the originals, not the Quadraverb2 lol).

Are the new PT's going to be smaller?
 
Re: Well first clip of the 9v Plexitone.....

Thanks;)
Eh yeah it will be at the size of our regular line, compressor, Hot drive and boosts, and so on, not the old tall boxes, but the newer flat ones.
It will be simple, three knobs, drive, tone, volume, no boost no extra channels...

Very nice mate!! I've just put mine back on my board to try with my Blackstar Dual for rehearsal on Weds! :D
 
Re: Well first clip of the 9v Plexitone.....

Very nice, I really like it. I think I'll have to check one out once I get another single channel amp. I thought the playing was cool too.... maybe you should work longer and even harder? Ha ha
 
Re: Well first clip of the 9v Plexitone.....

The first clip is very cool!
I met a guitarist in France. I was at home and he had a concert on the beach :)
I loooooved the tone and went to meet him. He had a plexitone as his drive and a twin :) Man, what a sound! I am proud of you Niels LOL
