Hi guys,

Here is a diagram for the Plexi-Hi gain channel. It is footswitchable  and has gain control and tone (high cut) control 3 position switch.
I removed FET board and I’m using a FET input hole for gain potentiometer.
3 position switch is on the rear panel in the “full / half” hole.

Hi Mike,

Difference is that I have THREE knob footswitch which gives me:
1.   Clean
2.   Clean + Boost
3.   Dumbly Overdrive
4.   Overdrive + boost
5.   High gain drive
6.   High gain + Boost = shred.

It is just more colour on the palette when you need it.

I couldn't seem to get the sound samples to work.  This would be a great mod.  I'm tempted to give it a try as I would love to have some more gain in this already awesome amp.  Nice cabinet.  I'm in the process of building mine, and the idea of the ventilation on the bottom and fan is a good thought.  What kind of fan did you use, what's the placement, and all?

Hi,
It Is 240v mains fan, has 2k, 25watt resistor on it to slow it down (less noise).
It sits on the grill under the power transformers and power valves.

Hi Jack,
I have two: Wink zen and zen2 tube. Don't like them! no way they can produce a distortion like this http://www.drika.biz/chign.mp3
or this http://www.drika.biz/cplexi.mp3

Also I disconnected PAB circuit which is useless(for me)  in OTS and created much more simple and powerful boost which does not change the tone
You can hear it on this sample at 2,24min. http://www.drika.biz/cityblue.mp3

About pedals: I tried probably most of them – from Zen to Ethos  and only two staid with me so far, moded Tone Pump by Barber and king of all pedals moded Koch Pedaltone – 4 tube 5 channel monster preamp.

Cheers
