The Super Plextortion by Wampler is an overdrive/distortion pedal designed to emulate the iconic JCM800 tones, including those from the "Back in Black" era of AC/DC, Van Halen, Dokken, and Ratt. It offers three gain settings - low, medium, and high - accessible via a switch, along with an independent gain control. The pedal features a 3-band EQ with Treble, Mid, and Bass controls, providing a wide range of tonal shaping capabilities. The Super Plextortion is known for its transparency and modern distortion, distinguishing it from the standard Plextortion, which has a more vintage sound with a mid-focused "greenback" tone.
The pedal is designed to deliver modern rock tones while also offering versatility for various playing styles. It is suitable for light dirt, medium gain distortion, and higher gain distortion, making it a versatile tool for guitarists seeking a range of distortion options. The Super Plextortion is also noted for its ability to handle open-chord riffing with transparency and clarity, while also providing punchier definition as the gain is increased.
Additionally, the pedal features a Gain Boost switch for saturated leads and heavier riffing, further expanding its sonic capabilities. The Super Plextortion is designed to provide a modern, darker voicing, making it ideal for high-gain work reminiscent of the '80s and early '90s rock tones. It is suitable for players seeking a versatile distortion pedal to cover a wide range of hot-rodded British tones.
