The Linnemann Plexi HW is a handmade boutique amplifier that is uncompromisingly based on the legendary Marshall Plexi Super Lead 1959 and is manufactured in a high-quality handwired construction. This amplifier is intended for guitarists who seek the pure, unadulterated sound of a classic Marshall Plexi, but with improved signal quality and boutique components.
Design & Construction – Boutique-quality without compromise
With 50 or 100 watts of power, depending on the selected variant, the Linnemann Plexi HW relies on a classic EL34 tube power amp configuration to deliver the typical British rock sound of the late 60s and early 70s. The point-to-point hand wiring ensures maximum signal purity, excellent dynamics and fast response, allowing the amp to react to the finest nuances of the playing.
In keeping with Plexi's tradition, the amplifier features two separate input channels (Bright and Normal) that can be used independently or in combination. The Bright channel delivers sparkling highs and crisp mids, while the Normal channel provides a fuller, bass-driven sound. By „jumping“ the channels using a patch cable, unique mixing sounds can be created that range from gentle blues tones to punchy rock crunch.
Sound character – Authentic Plexi sound with maximum dynamics
The Linnemann Plexi HW is designed for guitarists who seek the full, open sound of an unmodified Plexi amplifier. At low volumes, it delivers clear, percussive cleans with a pleasant vintage character. When the volume is turned up, the amp naturally begins to transition into a harmoniously saturated, creamy tube distortion – just like a classic Plexi.
The amplifier deliberately omits a master volume, meaning that it must be played at high volumes to achieve its famous tube overdrive. This makes it ideal for guitarists who want to control their sound directly via the guitar's volume knob and the attack level. Especially in combination with treble boosters, overdrive pedals, or a variable attenuator, the amp unleashes its full potential.
Ideal for vintage rock, blues and classic hard rock
The Linnemann Plexi HW is a perfect choice for musicians seeking the legendary sound of Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton or AC/DC. Its incredible dynamics and natural tube character make it a perfect platform for vintage purists who want to use their amplifier as directly and organically as possible.
Thanks to high-quality transformers and selected tubes, the amplifier offers stable operation with enormous sound fidelity. It is ideal for live stages, studios, and demanding guitarists who are looking for a boutique amplifier with excellent sound quality.
