The Lovepedal Purple Plexi is a dynamic overdrive pedal designed to deliver a touch-sensitive Plexi tone. It offers a balanced, medium gain overdrive to a full-on roar of a JCM 800, with great dynamic low-end response and an open mid-range bark. The pedal is known for its responsiveness and ability to morph into different Plexi era characteristics as the drive control is advanced. It features a three-knob layout of tone, volume, and drive, providing users with versatile control over their tone.
The Purple Plexi is equipped with connectors for input, output, and DC adapter, and can be powered by a 9V battery or a 9VDC adapter with a negative center and a 10mA draw. The pedal is designed to clean up via pick attack and volume control with both humbuckers and single coils, offering a wide range of tonal possibilities.
The casing of the Purple Plexi has been redesigned to be smaller, similar to an MXR-sized unit. It features old school film caps for a fuller sound and carbon resistors for a warmer tone. The gain control has been improved to provide a more even progression to the max gain setting, resulting in better note decay and a smoother feel. Additionally, the input signal has been padded down to enable faster cleanup on the guitar volume knob.
Overall, the Lovepedal Purple Plexi is a versatile overdrive pedal that captures the essence of classic Plexi tones while offering modern flexibility and responsiveness.
