The Carl Martin PlexiTone is an unusual high-gain three-step overdrive pedal. It offers two overdrive channels, the crunch channel, and the high-gain channel, along with an up to 20dB clean boost channel. The crunch channel ranges from subtle overdrive to hard rock gain stage, while the high-gain channel goes from rock gain stages to absolute meltdown, with loads of gain and low end, reminiscent of the early 80s high-gain guitar heroes.
The pedal is equipped with a built-in regulated (+-12V) power supply to ensure the necessary headroom for great tone. It is priced at 235.00 € (EU incl. VAT) and $265.00 (USA/Non-EU).
The PlexiTone has received positive feedback from users and reviewers, highlighting its versatility, ability to deliver a true amp tone, and its solid build quality. It has been praised for its ability to cover a wide range of tones, from subtle boost to tight crunch to massive gain, while remaining focused and warm even at high gain.
Additionally, the pedal has been commended for its ability to stay true to the Marshall tone, even with added gain, and for its clear and natural high gain with plenty of low end. The response is described as smooth, with the natural compression typical of real valve amps.
Overall, the Carl Martin PlexiTone is lauded for its exceptional performance and versatility, making it an attractive option for guitar players seeking a high-quality overdrive pedal.
