We literally scoured the world for this particular amp, finally finding a great example of a Super Lead languishing (we like to think fate preserved it for us) in Holland. One of the fun things you can do with a Plexi is take a short guitar cable and jumper channel I and channel II (as they’re frequently numbered) together for a little extra saturation. Some guys loved this sound so much that they pulled the chassis and permanently wired a jumper into the amp. We modeled the Super Lead this way.

Hendrix used a Super Lead with the ‘lay down’ transformer unique to the ’68 models, and Van Halen’s first two records also owed their “brown sound” to a ‘68 Plexi. To get a nice crunch sound out of a Plexi, you crank all the volume and tone controls to 10. In keeping with our “make-it-sound-a-whole-lot-like-the-original” concept, diming all your knobs with Duoverb’s Plexi Lead gets you pretty darned near the same thing.

The Cabinet Model is based on a perfectly-seasoned ’68 Marshall 4x12 basketweave cabinet with its Celestion Greenback 25’s.
