RADIAL TONEBONE PLEXITUBE.
An expanded version of the Tonebone Hot British! This two channel tube
distortion pedal combines the natural warmth and harmonic generation of
a 12AX7 tube with the control and saturation of our unique multi-stage
solid-state drive circuit. This combination provides incredible gain
with tons of overtones and, when combined with our unique
passive-interactive EQ, produces four generations of Marshall Plexi
tones worthy of a Shakespearian Ode.
Designed to enhance
on-stage functionality, the Plexitube™ features two distinct distortion
channels for on-the-fly transition between rhythm and lead settings.
Channel-1 has been optimized for rhythm with chunk rhythm tones and
scooped out mids for a thunderous wall-of-sound and complete world
domination. Channel-2 is optimized to produce razor-sharp cut for solos
and sustaining mids that are so smooth, they can make a grown man cry.
This is augmented with an effects loop that can automatically turn your
delay on for leads. No tap dancing!
When the Plexitube is off,
true-bypass connectivity ensures the natural tone of your guitar goes
directly to your amp without obstruction or a tone robbing load.
- 12AX7 equipped tube distortion
- Clean, rhythm and lead in one pedal
- Insert loop on lead channel for effects
- True bypass clean for natual tone
- Huge chunky rhythm settings with scooped mids
Build
like little Sherman tanks… yet compact enough to fit on your
pedalboard, Tonebone pedals are among the world’s most compact tube
distortions. Tonebones use a proprietary hybrid circuit that combines
the control of a dual-stage solid-state front end with the natural
harmonic generation and warmth that only a real live 12AX7 tube can
generate.
The tube is mounted on its side to keep the pedal
profile down for easy pedal action and is powered by an external 15VDC
supply. Power is internally regulated and filtered to eliminate noise.
To further reduce self-noise a unique ground plane circuit topology is
employed that makes Tonebone tube distortion pedals the quietest of all
pedals in their class.
Tonebone is also built tough; 14-gauge
steel construction reduces stress on the PC board and a baked enamel
finish will keep your Tonebone looking great for years!
