The Cusack Music Meta Plexi is a Marshall Plexi-inspired overdrive and distortion pedal from the American boutique builder, designed to capture the tone and breakup character of a vintage Marshall Plexi amplifier. It delivers the classic British crunch and warm, harmonically rich gain character associated with the plexi-panel Marshall Super Lead used in late 1960s and early 1970s rock. Controls allow adjustment of gain, tone, and volume to access tones from clean Plexi edge to full saturation. Suited for classic rock, blues rock, and hard rock players seeking authentic Plexi character.
