Classic British-style Stack in a Micro-sized Pedal

The Plexi-Drive Mini takes Wampler’s classic British-style stack in a box and crams it into a convenient micro-sized enclosure. This high-octane overdrive pedal delivers the goods, too. Fire it up, and you can almost smell the KT66s cooking! The Plexi-Drive Mini boasts Gain, Tone, and Volume knobs, along with Bass and Mids toggle switches for dialing in extra thump and a tubelike boost. Any guitarist who wants to add a touch of old-school British thunder to their already jam-packed pedalboard should investigate the Wampler Plexi-Drive Mini. It’s the big sound that shaped rock ’n’ roll in a miniature package!

All the right controls for dialing in classic British-style muscle

The Plexi-Drive Mini gives you everything you need to give your amplifier an infusion of classic British-style muscle. The Gain knob unleashes everything from mild breakup to heavy metal crunch. The Tone knob tailors the character of your drive, from a thunderous growl to a throaty bite. The Volume knob enables you to either give your amp a gentle tap or a serious kick in the teeth. You also get a Bass toggle for calling up extra low end — it’s almost like moving from a 2 x 12" to a 4 x 12" cab. Our favorite feature here at Sweetwater, however, is the Plexi-Drive Mini’s Mids toggle. If you like to goose your British-voiced amp with a tubelike overdrive, then you’ll appreciate the harmonic-tickling midrange boost that this switch provides.

Reviews

Much Plexi, Very Drive
This little beauty is a big part of my favorite distortion sound I've achieved yet.

I'm using the Plexi Drive on bass, as the main dirt option in one channel of a blended signal. Boosting it with a Plumes and the mid switch engaged creates such a filthy, amazing sound that's actually great for modern metal while sounding more open and earthy. Anytime I want a little less crunch, or more of the pure Plexi sound, achieving that is as easy as flipping a switch.

Kudos for the design, despite one minor complaint. Construction feels great, and without the mini footprint I couldn't fit everything on my board. The switches for bass and mids, however, aren't the easiest for me to flip due to proximity to the tone knob. That won't be a thing for everyone, but is for me because I keep my fingernails very short.

This was my first Wampler, and it won't be my last.
Music background: 20 years on bass
Nice high gain overdrive
If you are looking at this pedal then you know what it is. High gain overdrive with some nice options.

Both the mid and bass options are really nice on this. Who wants all that mud in the bass? If your stacking your drives then the mid control becomes very friendly.

I would give it a 5* but it is a bit noisy.

Marshall amp in a pedal
Nails the classic Marshall plexi sound and gives more gain as an option too. All the controls make a sonic difference to dial in the desired tone. I got my blues jr sounding like a Marshall and the bass control helps to feel more like a 4x12 cab. Awesome pedal!
Plexi Drive
Amp in a box aside, this replaced my JHS 3 Distortion and Fender Pugilist. The knobs and switches on here make it easy to get a pleasing tone. To me, this is the best burger in town.
