The Amplexi 59' is the pedal that Tom Tone produced to honor the famous Marshall Plexi 1959, A super Lead 100 that for many is the definitive platform for a rock guitarist, the great guitar names have passed through it: Hendrix, Clapton , Page, AC/DC and Van Halen are just a few we can name who created history with this amplifier.

Totally based on the preamp stage of this famous amplifier, the Amplexi 59' is presented in a version without a trigger footswitch (common in effect pedals) because the proposal here is to really be a preamp that will transform your amplifier, whatever the brand into a real Plexi 59.

As in the original amplifier, the Amplexi 59' features 4 inputs that feed 2 parallel pre-amplification stages, two inputs (High and Low) for Normal mode and two for Bright mode, both with separate volume control. The Master Volume controls and three EQ bands (Bass, Mid and Treble) are shared for the 4 inputs.

But the real secret of the Plexi tone was being able to use a small jumper to combine both channels and with that, you get a fuller sound that can be adjusted by balancing the volume controls on both channels. With a Strat or Les Paul guitar it's not hard to come up with combinations of rock classics like Clapton (Cream era) to AC/DC. Using pedals in front of this little preamp is feeding a little monster with more power, and thus making it an amp with gain for heavier sounds.

The Pedal Finish was also a way to honor this famous amplifier, with the same type of material used in the amplifier envelope and the same white trim.
