![]() ![]() It seems Reinhold has done a pretty good job with capturing the essence of the different iterations of this classic rock guitar amp. Combine this with all the player modifications done to these amps to customise them and it can become a bit of a minefield for the casual amp user. The term Plexi refers to a whole range of Marshall amps from the late Sixties and not just one amp model. Combine this with the three gain modes and already this pedal can cover a lot of ground tonally. You can even control the gain level using an optional external foot switch! The Variac was used by player like Eddie Van Halen to starve the amp of current and thus achieve supposedly his signature ‘Brown Sound’ from the early Van Halen recordings. For example he has three gain modes: Low (plexi), Medium (normal) and High (modded) gain as well as a Variac mode. You even get a dedicated Channel Blend control for jumping channels like on the original four-input Marshall amplifiers! I like the fact that he has taken into account many of the ways that players tweaked the original Marshall amps. The official demo gives a really clear indication of what this pedal can achieve and it does to my ear sound very much like a vintage Plexi should. ![]() This offers a serious amount of control packed into a small pedal and with all the classic Marshall Plexi features, with popular modifications catered for as well. Now Reinhold has applied his encyclopaedic knowledge to the new La Grange pedal. He has designed some of the greatest modern amps on the market today. No argument, he really is a living legend in the guitar amplifier world. Reinhold Bogner knows a thing or two about guitar amplifiers. ![]()
