We first saw the Cusack Meta Plexi at NAMM 2020 but we kind of lost track of it until today, thanks to the video below by Mike Hermans. The pedal has an enthusiastic written review here.
This take on the classic Marshall tone gives you all the expected settings and control, plus a second footswitch (Lead) that can add 3, 6, or 9dB boost after the distortion circuit, giving you additional volume without extra saturation.
A Toggle switch lets you pick two voicings: “Vintage” (more dynamic and defined) or “Modern” (more saturated with a little mid scoop).
We added the Cusack Music Meta Plexi to our list of the Best Plexi Pedals and Marshall-inspired Distortions.
