Another excellent pedal by Wampler, and Brad Paisley’s signature overdrive. Info about the original: Since late 2009, we discovered that Brad Paisley was using Wampler Pedals. He started with the AnalogEcho, then got an Ego Compressor and then had the Underdog overdrive. Everything was great until his tech at the time, Chad, mentioned to Brian … Read more

In the words of the maker Brian Wampler, this was designed to sound “sort of like a cross between a “Marshall 18®” and a “JTM45®”, and those who have purchased the Plexi-Drive agree that it’s very accurate! The bass boost toggle switch adds fat, full bottom end which is very useful in lower gain or … Read more
