Wampler Plextortion. Distortion Manual

This is one of the long-time favorites in the Wampler Pedals lineup, a pedal that helped establish Brian Wampler as
one of the premier designers of distortion pedals, and now that you own it, prepare to experience why!
To get the most out of your new pedal, you'll want to become very familiar with the controls. The Plextortion features
controls for Gain and Volume, as well as a full three-band EQ for versatile tone shaping and a Vint./Modern Toggle
switch to help determine the overall tonal push of the pedal.
I mentioned earlier that there are a vast range of distortion tones on tap with this particular pedal, and judicious
experimentation with the various options available will prove extremely useful in getting you the classic tone you're
after, or the modern sound in your head. As with all Wampler Pedals products, the Plextortion distortion pedal
includes a high-quality true-bypass switch which takes it out of the signal path when bypassed. Experiment and
enjoy!
Bypass Switch – A true-bypass footswitch ensures solid, mechanical removal of the circuit when it isn't wanted,
meaning you don't lose any tone when the pedal is o .

Plextortion. Distortion
Sitting in the good company of the Wampler Marshall®-in-a-Box type
pedal family, the Plextortion takes a medium-to-high gain approach to
getting that classic "roar" people associate with famous British amps of
the late '70s and early '80s.
Brian has carefully voiced this pedal to sound similar to a killer, cranked
JCM800® going into a loaded 4x12 cab with Greenback® speakers. In
other words, the sound that de ned early '80s rock and roll, from neoclas-
sical shredders to heavy metal and speed metal genre-starters to hair
metal guitar icons.
If the Pinnacle is intended to do the heavy lifting of getting an authentic,
precise, laser-accurate simulation of the "brown sound," the Plextortion is
a generalist, capable thanks to its three-band EQ of a huge range of rock
tones and with a gain range that covers classic rock to cranked up MIAB
mayhem. Because of its powerful three-band EQ and because of careful
design attention from Brian when creating and adjusting the pedal to be
"just right," the Plextortion can achieve its excellent sound through
virtually any ampli er.
From the smallest practice amps to solid state or modeling amps to
high-quality tube ampli ers, a little EQ adjustment and you'll be on your
way to classic roar.
