Hey guys... I don't really post clips but I am so impressed with this pedal I wanted to share a quick one with you. Clip is with the boost engaged and you can hear the button when I step on it. ? Settings on my amp and pedal as shown. Unlike the SD-1 and VFE DRAGON where I usually have the gain around 7 when using one of those... The PlexiRanger is best with the gain around 4. Super low volume too. Recorded on my Galaxy S10 phone. I just set the phone on another amp about 5 feet away. There are some legit videos on the PLEXIRANGER on YouTube if you want an in depth review. I have other distortion pedals on my front of amp board but I'm hooked right now on this thing.

I’m kinda freakin’ out right now.
I have been wrestling in the closet
with this pedal here’.
Never typed or talked about it, just romanced’
with it in my mind, ears & fingers.
Then, last night I had a dream I was running’ with
that bastard son from the Murdaugh family,
We burned down the town and then I turned on the ‘dynasty’ and mowed them all down.
Then, the 1st thingy’ on the google home/Spam/page is a full shot of the Murdaugh dad dude.. add this demo 1st thingy’ on RT..
I know.. I’m freakin’ out too..LOL!
Seriously though, this pedal has been calling me,
especially with my new set-up.
I dig how you can combine & dial in the two sounds around & INTO your sound, now we’re talking’!!!(More EQ!)
I appreciate designs like this and then a ripping
guitar player putting it to work.
Good stuff.

Great tone and great playing. I dig the cellphone clip - no post production magic to hide behind. If it sounds good on an iPhone you know it sounds glorious in the room. Can’t say that about every over-polished Pro-Tools clip floating around online.
 
Amazing tone, is this more a distortion or preamp pedal? Hard to believe amp gain is only on four!
 
This clip is a great example of why I’m not into modding for gain. There’s too many good pedals and I can keep the stock tone of the amp. Changing the type of gain is just another pedal away. I totally get modding for wanted features ie. Loops, 2nd master’s, power reduction etc.
I’ve regretted the mods for gain I’ve done in the past, vs the stock amp.

Sounds killer! How different does the '77 2203 sound?

Haven't tried it on the 77' 2203. Those year amps are still the same circuit as the JCM800 so I'd assume it will sound pretty much the same.
