The Plex has landed!
Initial impressions:
- very sturdy & well-made;
- well laid out (the push rotary knobs for secondary features takes a little getting your head round);
- without having had it long, some great sounds emerge from this little box;
- the white LEDs on the main knobs are very bright;
- can't say much about the overdrive - I don't use it;
- compressor works well;
- EQ section is very good.
I'll add some pictures shortly.
That pickguard material looks like fluted polypropylene (brand name Corex). *
Unfortunately, it'll be very difficult to get a nice edge - the thinness of the walls and the flutes make a very sharp & compressible material.
* was a tech rep for Amari Plastics in a former life, for my sins.
Not sure if it'd be any good for short scale (don't see why not though) - but I'm looking at buying the Gallien Kruger Plex in the next few days.
The spec looks good - I can let you know what it's like when it arrives.
