Well I figured I have had this module long enough that I can finally give some feedback on it.
Gain - I think the new badge of Plexi plus is maybe a little misleading as even with the gain switch off this module has more gain than the Plexi. Granted you can dial it back & get a respectable plexi overdrive level. The gain switch does what it boasts & increases the gain, but I think it is very useable. I expected the tone to go to mush with the switch to the right & the gain set at 8. It did not & it remained useable.
EQ controls are great in being able to dial in some good tones (more on this below).
Voicing switch - has been mentioned as a Marshall/Mesa switch. I disagree with this. It maybe should be labled neutral & mud. With the switch moved to the right it zaps the mids & just muds up the module. With this setting I have to have the Mids dimed to get a tolerable tone. With the switch to the left this module is similar to the SL+ but darker. I tried the following settings as I was looking for a scooped mids tone:
Gain 7, Boost on/right, Voicing off/left, Bass 7, Mids 3, Treble 6, Level 5
This resulted in an ok tone but lost its luster after a short period of playing. I think I just need to admit maybe the scooped/minimal mids thing is not for me. While I think I like less mids than Julia, I apparently have a threshold on how much of the mids I can cut & still like the tone. Or maybe it is just in need of a mod by Pete. Or maybe the Grail is the way to go for me.
Here is the current control settings I have on it:
Gain 7, Boost on, Voicing off, Bass 7, Mids 5, Treble 5, Level 5
RM4 settings are Master 12:30 & Effects 12 o' clock
Blasphemy about to commence :lol: I pulled the plexi so I could run the SL+, Scary, & 1086. I like that the 1086 has more gain than the plexi, so I may see if I can dial in the Plexi tone I had going but with the extra gain. My only concern with this is, if it ends up sounding like/similar to my SL+, it would be kind of redundant.
