Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are several good analog pedals that replicate ( not model) the sound of a high-gain Marshall tube amp:
The Sansamp GT-2, and Sansamp "British" pedals, as well as the Sansamp PSA 1.1 all do a great job of that.
The Sansamp PSA 1.1 is best for rack-rigs where midi control and signal-routing flexibility are necessary.
The other two pedals are ideal if you must run with batteries.
If you want PURE ROCKIN MARSHALL TONE, PLUS a great boost feature ( up to 20 dB) then this Carl Martin Plexitone pedal is the best I've have ever heard in 40 years of professional playing. It has the TONE and FEEL of my Customized Marshall 100 watt head (circa 1969) that was modified by Jose Arrendondo in the late 70's.
The CM Plexitone has its own internal power supply, which is absolutely necessary for the massive headroom you need for authentic Marshal tone. That also means you do NOT need a "wall-wart" to run it, but it means you must find an outlet for it.
The three footswitches are robust and spaced so my size 12 boots hit the mark without problems. Bright blue LED lights give instant indication of what's ON. The high-impedance input helps reduce signal loss from cables. In effect, this acts as a buffered "front-end" for the rest of your chain... and it's a damn good buffer too.
If you like your basic amp sound, but need a better preamp for the front-end and could use a boost for solos, this is the pedal to get.
Over the last couple of decades, my friends and I have used various CM products. All of them are great. They build everything like they care. They are good at what they do and it shows. CM pedals are worth the extra dough.
Other than lucky auctions, I got the best price on a new one from Prymaxe, a dealer in New Jersey. The shipping was fast with no problems. Highly recommended.
