Carl Martin PlexiTone

1959 Fender Tweed Deluxe

The PlexiTone adds a British crunch on top of the Tweed Deluxe's own woody breakup rather than just more gain.

Marshall JCM900 2100

Both go for British crunch — the PlexiTone's boost and breakup pushes the JCM900 further into its own aggressive, tight gain.

Marshall Origin 20 Combo

The PlexiTone's British crunch and boost stacks with the Origin 20's own tube breakup for a richer push than the amp alone gives at practice volume.

Marshall JCM800 2203

The JCM800's own aggressive midrange bite is basically what the PlexiTone emulates — running it into the real amp just adds another gain stage of the same character.

Marshall Studio JTM ST20C MkII 20W 1x12 Combo

The low-gain JTM Studio needs a push to get past its creamy breakup, and the PlexiTone's British crunch is built exactly for that job.

Marshall JTM45 45W Tube Guitar Amp Head

The JTM45's warm, classic British clean tone gives the PlexiTone's high-gain breakup a genuinely vintage amp voice to push into.

Fender Dual Showman Reverb

Push the Dual Showman's big clean headroom with the PlexiTone's British crunch and the amp finally breaks up on command instead of staying pristine.

Egnater Tourmaster 4100 100w 4-Channel

Stack the PlexiTone into the Tourmaster's crunch channel and its British-voiced breakup pushes an already-flexible platform into higher gain territory.

Klon Centaur

Stack the Klon's clear midrange boost with the PlexiTone's own high-gain British breakup for two distinct shades of push.

Boss BD-2 Blues Driver

Push the PlexiTone's British crunch with the Blues Driver's transparent overdrive and breakup scales smoothly into hard-rock gain.

Wampler Cory Wong

The Cory Wong's optical funk compression evens out the pick attack before it ever reaches the PlexiTone's own high-gain British breakup.

Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress

Run the Electric Mistress' lush, unique flange sweep after the PlexiTone's high-gain British breakup and the modulation has real teeth to color.

Mooer A7 Ambience

Feed the A7's church-voiced ambient reverb with the PlexiTone's high-gain British breakup and the wash gets real saturation to swell into. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Electro-Harmonix Canyon

Drive with the PlexiTone first, then the Canyon's shimmering delay trails that British crunch into something more spacious instead of doubling up the gain. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

MXR double-double overdrive

MXR double-double overdrive's own voicing points at Marshall-style amps, and Carl Martin PlexiTone delivers it

Laney TI-Boost

Laney TI-Boost is voiced for a clean amp's front end — Carl Martin PlexiTone gives it exactly that
