Title: Purple Plexi 100
Post by: six4caliente on March 23, 2012, 10:36:11 AM
Tried searching the net for info on this pedal, no dice.

Anybody have any info on the circuit? I've build numerous 386 based pedals, loosely based around the PP800, HAO Rust Driver, etc.

I'm really interested in building this PP100HW, and I would love to know the circuit changes from the PP800 to a PP100HW. Here is a clip of the 100HW.

From their website:

"The Lovepedal Purple Plexi 100 HW utilizes a MOSFET master level recovery amp and a Gain/Bias adjustment that controls 3 parameters simultaneously for an incredibly smooth, amp-like tone."

THANKS!

So do you think its an 386 (PP800ish) followed by a SHO type circuit?

^  thanks for looking, but thats a stardard purple plexi and purple plexi 800. i've built a few of them. not what i'm after here. i'm looking for info on the Purple Plexi 100.

I like my PP800's, but they don't do plexi tone like the PP100HW does. I can't find any info on the 100...

Thanks!

I really doubt they're that different. Lovepedal doesn't really change his designs that much.
