It sounds like a proper Plexi. As much as I love my Jube and 2204, my Superlead100 is the amp that got away from me. This should serve me well.Guitarbilly wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 7:40 pmexactlyturbopablo wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 7:38 pm As more demos keep popping up, I get more excited.

Re: The Friedman Plex is officially out
I didn't know you have a Jube. Or did I? either way agreed the 800 and Jube don't fill the Plexi gap at all.turbopablo wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 7:46 pmIt sounds like a proper Plexi.

Plexi's are the Marshalls that actually roar. It's like the wooly mammoth of guitar amps.Vladimir Putin wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 7:50 pmI didn't know you have a Jube.

Someone convince me I don't need this and should just a couple Synergy Plexi modules. Actually I don't really need either the Plex or the Plexi modules.

Re: The Friedman Plex is officially out
I mean we don't need anything but a decent guitar and amp it's always about what we want.
The Synergy Plexi modules are great though. They sound like a proper plexi. Feel is an entire different thing. There is something you get from a distorted power amp section that can't be replicated with a preamp. Do you need that? Only you can answer that lol

Not sure I'd have the MVC high enough to distort.

Re: The Friedman Plex is officially out
Well the MVC is post the phase inverter so you still get the PI to clip which is most of what power amp distortion actually is.

Interesting. Did not know that.Guitarbilly wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2024 4:29 pmWell the MVC is post the phase inverter so you still get the PI to clip which is most of what power amp distortion actually is.
Re: The Friedman Plex is officially out
Yep. A lot of what we think of as power amp distortion is actually the phase inverter getting squishy. This is part of the reason that cathodyne phase inverters aren't so popular as they have a very different sound, which is either very clean or matamp wall of fog. The non-linearity from the power tubes has more of an effect on how the amp feels as it changes how the speakers are damped.
