Built this for a head-to-head shootout with a Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret. Plexidrive wins! Fuller sounding, and emulates power amp distortion much better than the DLS which, to my ears and with my rig, sounded more pre-ampish.

Vero layout: http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.ca/2012/02/wampler-plexi-drive.html

Pedal Parts Plus black hammertone and Small Bear Marshall-type knobs.

If there's any interest, I can record a few clips.

Nice build.
I like the plexidrive as well. It knocked my DLS off of my board as well...but the Boneyard knocked off the plexidrive  ;)

I love that hammertone powder coat. Looks like you could drop it from the roof and it would survive. And all you want to do is STOMP on it repeatedly.

I'd love to hear it.

PPP is knocking them out of the park with its paint jobs.

I'll record a clip later today.

I did this one on vero, too. It's my champion among the "JTM45 sound-alikes."

Nice.  I wonder how a plexidrive and a pinnacle in the same box would compare to my boneyard v.1?

What size enclosure is that? Looks bigger than a 1590a but smaller than a 1590b
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Those knobs make it hard to tell, but I'm pretty certain that its a 1590B. If you look at the gut shot it's more apparent...

It's a 1590B.

Sorry about not getting a clip up yesterday. Real life got in the way. I've got the house to myself today, so I'll definitely get something up by this evening.
