Tech 21 Hot-Rod Plexi Distortion and Boost Pedal at a Glance:
Hot mode kicks your amp into overdrive
There are two footswitches on the Hot-Rod Plexi. One simply turns the box on in Stock mode - it's as if you're plugged into the signal path of a stock '68 Plexi from input jack to speaker jack (minus the actual speaker). Stomp on the Hot button, however, and prepare yourself for some British stack mayhem - it's like you put an additional 12AX7 tube in your amp's preamp stage. Utilizing Hot mode, you can add up to 28dB of additional preamp gain, with independent level control via the Hot knob. The Hot knob really lights a fire under your amp, taking it from an agreeable crunch to a furious eruption with a single stomp.

Because of its flexible tone-shaping capabilities, this box should be called the "Flexi-Plexi." The Tone control is a lowpass filter with an adjustable cutoff frequency. Flat when turned fully up, you can use the Tone control to cut
All-analog pedal design delivers smooth, natural-sounding overdrive
As impressive as the Hot-Rod Plexi's tonal range may be on its own, it's even more amazing that all of this tone-shaping takes place purely in the analog domain. This imparts a smoothness and natural dynamic character that even the most sophisticated digital pedals often struggle to capture. Built on the legacy of the now-legendary SansAmp, the Hot-Rod Plexi delivers the authentic sound of a preamp pushed to its limit - no gimmickry necessary!
