If you want that tone from a Marshall Stack but in an 8oz (230g) package, then the LPD SIXTY8 is your ticket. The LPD Lawrence Petross Designs SIXTY8 Drive pedal gives you the Marshall amp in a box experience where it emulates a 1968 Marshall like the 1200 series
From Lawrence Petross himself:
I wanted something that sounded and felt like my favorite 1968 Plexi. Completely natural note decay, no strange fizzy artifacts. It’s very dynamic and responds to the guitar volume control and pick dynamics very well. Highly versatile with super-low noise and killer sustain, without needing a ton of distortion or fuzz to get it.
Truly a British stack in a box. Your back will thank us.Soft touch true bypass switching, last state memory, top mount jacks, and a bit more gain on tap.
More from Lawrence: When I started designing the SIXTY8 Drive, I had a long list of goals I wanted to achieve. I wanted something that sounded and felt like my favorite 1968 Plexi 12000 series. I wanted something that would allow back-line players to enjoy having a nice M-style crunch channel to go with their F-style cleans. It had to be super low noise, completely natural note sustains and decay, free of any strange fizzy artifacts. Plus - it had to be highly versatile with a wide range of clean to heavily overdriven tones. It also had to be tour-worthy and durable.
So here it is - the SIXTY8. It’s incredibly dynamic, responds to the guitar volume control and your pick dynamics very well. It has a great amount of sustain without needing a ton of distortion/fuzz to get there. The Gain control also functions as a shelving EQ — as the gain increases, the low frequencies are attenuated slightly to keep your low end tight. The Bass control is pre-clipping and designed to offset the shelving filter on the Gain control. You can add back in all the low frequencies that the Gain control removes, so you can mold it to your rig. This also simulates the jumping or bridging of channels on the real amp, allowing you to mix in as much of the “Normal” channel as desired. It's very snappy and responsive, and somewhat jangly, especially as the Treble is increased - which makes it great for rhythm stuff, and rhythm/lead hybrid styles.
