This is the third pedal in a series by designer Bjorn Juhl with a Plexi and the Orange amp being the first two. This is his take on the now famous Marshall Silver Jubilee.
The Silver Jubilee amp was in effect a hot rodded '87 JCM 800
which was the pinnacle of classic amp tech before the JCM 900 which was the first purposely built Metal amp. In sort where classic Marshall tone was not totally trumped for gain at all cost.
All these pedals are equal to and in in many cases better than most pedals that followed. The problem arises because the media thrives on the new. These pedals are 4 years old now and have dropped under the radar.
The fact that they are small is a bonus. They have been designed to nail the initial voicing of each amp so the controls
are designed to focus on relative tweaks within the natural range of the amps they mimic but with enough sweep to tweak the sound to your gear.
CONCLUSION
The Pexi is a killer so I had some reservation before even hearing this pedal. The fact is it's easily as well done. The Orange is good too but it is a different amp. You love Orange or you do not.
If you do then the One control is well ahead of the pack.
Buying the Plexi for your crunch and the Red for high gain chores would be a to die for rig in the palm of your hand!
Having bought the Plexi although the tone is killer it true to the amp which depends on some reasonable volume level to create some feedback for some good sustain. The Jubilee is a much higher gain and even at bedroom levels it has a healthy sustain.
