I'm looking at two pedals by Wampler, the Plexi Drive Deluxe and the Pinnacle Deluxe. I've got a high gain 6L6 amp that has a pristine clean channel that works excellently as a pedal platform, so I am looking for an "amp in a box" type deal that I can use with this amp so that I don't always have to get everything set up on a whole different amp in order to get a different type of Marshall-esque gain sound. I understand that it is a pedal and isn't going to sound EXACTLY like a Marshall, and I'm totally fine with that. This is just something I am going to try out in order to add another tonal option to my one main rig.
The Pinnacle seems like the more versatile of the two, giving the options for all types of distortion tones, with a Marshall/EL34 amp tone included, but the Plexi Drive seems like it does the Marshall thing pretty damn well for a pedal, and you can set it up to where it's responsive to volume roll-off on your guitar like the old Marshalls which I dig.
FWIW, as I was looking around, I also ran into a Fender pedal called the "Full Moon Distortion" that I've kinda begun to feel like I wouldn't mind having too. I'm only getting one right now, and the Fender initially seems like it would just be giving me more of what I have on tap for days in my amp's 2nd and 3rd channels, but really, it's a whole different charachter of sound. It's a character of sound all its own, and it rips, and I want one, even if I don't get it now.
So... Suggesttions? Anybody have a Pinnacle or Plexi Drive (deluxe, mini, or regular size) or both? Anybody have experience with a Full Moon Distortion?
