About this amp

The Emplexador Junior Custom head packs a Marshall Plexi-inspired preamp into a smaller aluminum-chassis head. A hi/lo input selects between Classic voicing (a ‘68 Plexi variant with switchable Bright Boost and JTM45-style fat mode) and a hotter, three-gain-stage Overdrive voicing similar to a late JMP/JCM. An onboard Variac option drops the amp to 90V wall power for earlier, softer breakup. Rear panel offers a variable-impedance line out and an optional passive effects loop.
