SUBSCRIBE! Here's Side 1 of our La Grange pedal with guitarist’s Lance Lopez and Doug Rappoport blazing! Lance starts the video singing through his guitar pickups into the La Grange! Plus, Reinhold Bogner takes you through all the controls and features of this beast of Plexi tone. Dig it and be sure to also watch Side 2 !
Our La Grange pedal is designed to emulate the iconic British "Plexi" amplifiers from the mid 60's. The wide variety of controls and switches, give you decades of legendary Plexi tones plus modded higher gain tones of the 80’s and 90’s.
An independent boost function, with a level control, can be activated via it's own foot-switch to be either used as a stand alone boost, or together with the La Grange's main circuitry. Essentially two independent pedals, with the boost being in series after the La Grange.
Reinhold designed the La Grange pedal with an op-amp input, followed by five discrete Class A gain stages and incorporated Germanium diode clipping. This approach minimizes the input noise floor while retaining touch sensitivity and clarity throughout the entire gain range.
The La Grange is powered by a standard 9V battery or 9VDC power supply. Reinhold’s advanced circuitry internally raises the voltage to a substantially higher level. This higher voltage provides a greater dynamic range which closely resembles the feel of a real amplifier; therefore running the pedal above 9VDC will not improve dynamics and is not recommended.
Features:
- True bypass
- Independent boost with level control
- Master Controls: volume, tone, channel blend and gain controls
- Channel Blend simulates the two channels of a four input 67-69 plexi amplifier
- 3 position gain switch for low (plexi), medium (normal) and high (modded) gain structure
- Variac mode for "brown sound", added dynamic compression with enhanced harmonics
- 2 position presence switch for overall brightness
- 3 position structure switch for a tight focused, fat loose or in between sound and feel
- Jacks: input, output and exp. for foot controllable gain via the output of a volume pedal.
- Low Battery Indicators: LEDs blink when battery voltage drops below critical threshold.
- Premium components include: Double sided gold plated circuit boards, German WIMA capacitors, Japanese Nichicon capacitors and gold plated relays, Carling switches and more.
