PlexiPre Classic Overdrive Deluxe
PlexiPre Classic Overdrive Deluxe
The PlexiPre Classic Overdrive is a 5 stage JFET overdrive circuit designed to emulate the sound of an early Marshall® Plexi™ amplifier's overdrive/distortion tones. PlexiPre uses two stages in parallel, one for the bright channel, and one for the normal channel (which emulates the tone of a full stack) as well as a Master Volume to allow for higher gain settings without inviting the cops to your home. The PlexiPre also adds a Baxandall active 3-band eq between the summing of the gain channels and the Master volume, to allow for a familiar amp-like tone stack and enough eq range to work with any guitar and amp.
The PlexiPre Deluxe adds a foot-switchable JFET boost. Since the boost is similar in structure to the PlexiPre, this can act as a second channel, giving you 2 distinct levels of grit, much like a 2 channel amplifier. The Boost knob controls the volume of the second channel, but will add some grit as it is turned up.

Controls
Bright - Controls the Gain of the Bright Channel
Normal - Controls the Gain of the Normal Channel
Master - Controls the overall output level of the PlexiPre
The master volume allows you to turn the individual channels up to optimal breakup and then adjust the output volume to a tolerable level.
3-Band Active EQ - used to boost or cut 3 frequency ranges.
Bass
Middle
Treble
Boost- Controls the output level of the boosted channel
