Our original Purple Plexifier Distortion was the first pedal we have made as an “amp-in-the-box” style of pedal. The brand-new Purple PLEXIDIST is the latest version of this circuit that modernly brushes up the tone of the original with brand new art and updated tone.

What is the Purple Plexidist? This style of distortion is a classic that transcends time and will always be loved by guitarists. A tone that is vintage, classic, and a standard. Legendary tone that forms the foundation of the rock genre. And since we have put it into a pedal form, it is easy to carry and use anywhere, without troublesome maintenance or weight.

With our new One Control PPD, you can make that tone simple and easy. The word “Plexi” simply means a transparent board made of acrylic. How did it become to be applied to rock guitar sounds? The classic British-made amplifier that most guitarists love had a control panel made of plexiglass (acrylic plate) made around 1969 and used by some of the most famous guitarists of the 1970s until the modern day.

Back in 1962, the PA systems were very underpowered and usually only used for vocals. Guitar amplifiers were made to be powerful for a larger sound to keep up with the band. These guitarists helped to create the sound of rock, and top guitarists from all over the world have demonstrated the power onstage of this sound. Even today, many famous guitarists record and tour with their precious “plexi” amps to have this sound, so the legend of this amp continues to have an overwhelming presence.

When guitarists refer to the “plexiamp”, there are many variations in the tone due to the output, combo, speaker choices, and the various model differences. However, this tone is indeed the sound as played by some of the masters of rock guitar. Our Purple Plexifier aimed for that tone, the gorgeous plexi sound with some “hot rod mods” like were done by amp technicians in LA during the Sunset Strip era. The famous “brown sound” was created during this era and is still desired by guitarists all over the world – with our Purple Plexidist you can have “that sound”.

The most important thing in reproducing the plexi sound is not just the distortion – it’s meaningless to just simply distort the sound. Even at full-gain settings, if you play hard the sound will distort a lot, and if you play softer it will be clearer with just that “edge” of distortion. With the playing dynamics from just your fingers, you can control the strength of the distortion easily as well as have the articulation and details from the cleaner part of the sound. With our Purple Plexidist, you can have that same response, clean and distortion balance, and high-end details as the famous guitar amplifier.

Balance and response like the mythical amplifier itself – that’s what Björn Juhl at BJF is best at designing AIAB “amp-in-a-box” style pedals, because he is both a designer and a player who loves these classic amps.

The Purple Plexidist covers all the tones – from clean to full gain and even the customized “hot-rodded” high gain tones of the plexi style amp. You can easily have this sound with our small enclosure and simple design of 3 knobs and one trim pot. By basing the sound on the low frequencies of the guitar itself, the PPD bases the sound where the distortion initially begins and is easy to adjust. When starting out, the MIDRANGE trim pot adjusts the sound around critical treble and midrange frequencies for the guitar. Turned counterclockwise, the midrange is cut and will produce a more “shred” style of tone with big highs and lows. If you desire a tight and cutting sound, this is where you will want to start. Add some midrange, and you can hear the tone begin to warm up and get fatter. Once you find your sweet spot for the MIDRANGE trimmer, it’s time to adjust the TREBLE control to taste, adding those luxury trebles around 2kHz. If you set the MIDRANGE trimmer to a high level, the TREBLE knob will help fine-tune the tone. If the mids are cut, the TREBLE knob will be more prominent in your tone.

An amplifier-like pedal with a wide gain range from clean to distortion is what we all want. However, there are surprisingly few pedals that can effectively give you the entire range from clean to full gain like a real plexi amplifier. Purple Plexidist brings you the British clean, bluesy crunch, and brown sounds – from overdrive to hard rock/heavy metal style gain. The flexible balance and articulate response of the PPD are also effective when used to “stack” with other pedals and various guitars. For example, if you combine Britich vintage fuzz tones and a strat style guitar, you can get that legendary psychedelic sound. Plug in your jazzmaster and an American-style fuzz pedal to go to grunge land. Use a traditional-style overdrive pedal and an LP-style guitar with humbuckers and get that classic New Wave of British heavy Metal style hard rock tone.

The Purple Plexidist is our finest creation to capture the eternal sound of this classic rock guitar amplifiers. This is THE TICKET to that tone that every guitarist wants at least one time. And, we have updated our artwork to make these pedals just as visually beautiful as they sound.

Like all One Control Effects pedals, the Purple Plexidist is housed in a machined and anodized compact aluminum case, with only the best components assure years of trouble-free use. The pedal can be powered by 9v battery, but we do recommend the use of a balanced power supply to maximize the life and quality of this effect.

So many squeakers!
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
I have 3 golden retrievers. They love this toy. While the head came off because they played tug-o-war with it, the rest has held up mostly for 5-6 months. At this point sometimes a squeaker will pop out. There are so many squeakers in this toy! However, they still use it for tug-o-war, I am surprised it has lasted this long. There is only stuffing in the head.

Cute, durable toy.
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
It's about as durable as you can expect a stuffed animal to be. I have two new puppies who are still teething and they love these things. I got the Kyjen sheep mat version (it's a square shape, rather than the two rows of squeakers) for the little girl. Both dogs sleep with it in their crate and we take them on trips with us. I've gone so far as to open up the toy and replace the broken squeakers (costs about 5$ for 30 large squeakers). The rest of the toy is fine. Our german shepherd puppy absolutely loves the rattle that's located in the head of the gator as well. The rattle also helps initially getting the dog engaged with chewing on the toy rather than your clothing or furniture. Then they discover the squeakers and it's endless entertainment and a good distraction for your dogs. I haven't had any problems with the thin, decorative material that's represent the teeth, claws and back fins. It's a slightly thicker felt that's soft and flimsy. Honestly, I'm not worried about it. Even if they were to eventually chew these off, they're not a choking hazard. Our little guy has thrown up solid pieces of kibble that are larger and harder than this. Seriously now, common. The eyes are sewn into the head, so there's no risk of pulling them off and swallowing. I toss these in the washer on a gentle cycle to clean off the slobber and dirt about once every couple weeks and the squeakers are fine, though they sometimes have to dry out to be 100% functional again. It never takes long. Overall, I love the amount of squeakers just due to the breaking problem with have with single squeaker toys. Once they break, the dog loses interest. Which is also a nice way to train the dogs the difference between the non-squeaking kids toys. The dogs absolutely love this toy and wont sleep without it. When the fabric eventually wears out (not even a slight issue after a few months), I'll be buying another one.

Great Toy, HUGE, small dog loves,
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
For the price this is my favorite toy! My 4 lb Chihuahua LOVES this thing. He is smaller than it by a long shot, yet he loves to parade this around, showing how big he is and can handle this huge GATOR. LOL. Friends come up to the porch, and he runs back to grab his GATOR to bring it up for them to see. Only thing with these toys - for my dog - we have several of these he loves - he cannot make them squeak. He jumps on them, chews on them, but just doesn't have the power. That being said, think about it, he loves the things, I mean LOVES. Sleeps with them, parades them out, fights with them when he's alone, has a great time - .... Evidently, it's me - I MISS THE SQUEAK! I watch him, and root for him, and every now and then (rare), I hear he got a squeak. Still, he doesn't care! So.... interactive time! I go out and play with him and Mr. GATOR, and I make it squeak, and we all have EXTRA fun. Note, my little guy is what they call an EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE CHEWER. He chews in his sleep (kidding). He's really a tough chewer. He however, uses these more for wrestling, and attacking, and carrying around and sleeping on, etc. So none of ours have tears in them, though he does attack and chew all of it - I think these products are super wonderful, and I have to buy several more, like the hide-a-toy ones (beehive, squirrel, etc.) because I know the quality, I know my Chihuahua loves them to pieces - while he hasn't actually been able to render them in pieces! Win-win for us. You decide what your dog is like. Mine has his snoopy blanket and a huge victory in his mind over this large GATOR - his friend all day long.

Great Toy, But Not Durable
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: X Large (Pack of 1)
I bought this toy for my five-month-old American Eskimo dog, and he loved it! My dog isn't a big squeaker fan, but he had so much fun with this toy. He played with it nonstop for about an hour, and it was so fun to see him enjoying his toy. Unfortunately, I had to take it away from him because after a while, he was trying to rip out the ridges that line the alligator's back. He managed to rip out two already and was working on his third. I'm afraid that out of boredom, he will try to tear off the rest of the ridges and then the alligator's teeth and claws. I think that I will have to snip off all of the small pieces before giving this toy to my dog again. Even though the toy didn't stay intact for longer than 30-45 minutes, I don't regret buying it. It instantly caught my dog's attention and kept it. This is a good toy. It has 16 squeakers and would be a good cuddle toy since it's soft and big. This toy is longer than my dog! It's about 30 inches long!

Holy Smokes, I Need Sound-Blocking Headphones
Color: Squeaker Matz Gator, Size: 2X-Large (Pack of 1)
This summer I bought the smaller version of this alligator squeaky toy for my large malamute-mix named Rascal. He's a big BIG puppy with an enormous amount of energy. Squeaky toys drive him crazy and he can't get enough of them. The more squeakers the more hyper he becomes. I started looking for the perfect Christmas present for him and caught sight of this little guy. Couldn't pass him up. 32 squeakers! Rascal would faint with excitement. This toy is a little longer than 4 feet long- which is about how long my dog is. It's by far the largest toy he's ever gotten. The head has a rattle in it. And the long body has 32 squeakers individually sewn into their own pocket- so even once he has chewed one of the noise-makers out, he still has many more to go. A few of the squeakers came defective, but I suppose that should be expected when so many noisy parts are involved. I don't think he noticed. The enormous amount of racket he made with the rest of them kept him busy enough. The second I gave him this toy he bounced around like any kid would on Christmas. Excited as heck. He spent a few good hours flinging the toy up in the air, running around the house and yard with it, and just laying around trying to chew each of those noisy things out from the body. He hasn't managed to get any of the squeaker toys out yet- it's been three days of constant play. He spends a few good hours on it each day. The fabric is getting kind of slobber-soaked, but that's presumable with dog toys. His dark black hair also easily sticks to this fabric, so it's beginning to look a lot dirtier than it actually is. But I'm sure he'll destroy it before my inner neat-freak feels the need to clean it. My biggest concern are the felt teeth and claws on the toy. They can easily be torn off and swallowed by the dog. If you want to eliminate that, prior to giving your dog the toy- just take a pair of scissors and cut them off. I just monitored my pup closely and took away the pieces once he removed them. Aside from the felt pieces and the fact the toy attracts hair- I think this was by far one of the best investments I've made for my dog. It's huge, keeps him entertained, and makes plenty of noise! I'm debating buying sound-blocking headphones before I purchase another toy like this again. Very noisy! But he loves it to death, and that makes it all worthwhile. Highly recommend!
