RADIAL TONEBONE PLEXITUBE DISTORTION - Part Number 000140
TONEBONE PLEXITUBE DISTORTION OVERDRIVE 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. The Radial Tonebone Plexitube takes metal guitar one step beyond anything you have experienced so far. God save the Queen.! Features & Specifications 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! Specifications Circuit type: Hybrid tube / proprietary circuit Tube type 12AX7 vacuum tube Input impedance: 1meg Ohm at input jack Output impendence: 10K Ohm DRIVE control: Input drive gain control for both channels. Intermediate Ch-2 Drive trim adjuster Recessed control - accesable with a tweeker. VOICING 1 & 2 3-way switch: Used inconjunction with the Ch-1 and Ch-2 Contour controls CHANNEL-1 Fat Scoop Out CHANNEL-2 Fat Scoop Extra Scoop Ch-1 & Ch2 Contour Separate sound shaping control for each channel. Used in conjuction with the VOICING 3-position switch MID BOOST 3-way switch: Used to fatten up the sound for more cut and sustain during solos. Also, will fatten up the sound of single coil pickups. High: Medium: Off: +12dB @ 620Hz +7dB @ 390Hz No boost TOP END 3-way switch Switch sets the overall tonal character of the Plexitube to best match the amp and settings. Brighter amps are normally compensated with darker settings. Bright: Flat: Dark: Boosts +6dB @ 10kHz No boost Cuts -6dB @ 1.8kHz HIGH & LOW EQ controls: Unity gain to +15dB Low: High: +/- 14.5 db @ 100Hz +/- 10 db @ 4.3kHz LEVEL-1 & LEVEL-2 controls: Used to balance the output level between the input drive without altering any of the tonal characteristics. Works like the master volume on an amplifier.
