I'm working on something shoegaze-y and wanted a big, huge wall of noise guitar sound to go with the soundscape I was building. Normally I'd gravitate towards a Tweed Deluxe or a Bassman here but today I decided to take a Plexi, leave all the knobs at their defaults, and then turn the input gain to 10 to see what would happen.
Oh. My.
These Plexi models are so damn good. They have these gorgeous harmonics that just swirl and sustain in the most musical way possible. A little dissonance or some suspended notes in your chord voicing pays off through these models with incredible bloom and a growly sustain that just envelopes you. It resonates your guitar and connects you with the whole chain so perfectly.
I might just be falling in love here.
My conclusion: we are spoiled for choice with this box. These models, each unique their response and sonic characteristics, are all incredibly musical and authentic. It is so hard to choose. I'll probably end up re-amping and blending a few of the 50W models together to really build the wall of noise.
If you haven't turned a Plexi to 10 yet, you really owe it to yourself to do so. It's something else.
I did a quick run-through of all the Plexi models, same settings, same riff to show off their uniqueness. You can get the preset here. Which is your favourite?
