I mean, in the end of course it doesn't sound like a Plexi, but it kind of sort of goes in that direction.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but my two current go to overdrives, which couldn't be more different from each other, are both of the transistor types, which of course, I had no clue about before this video. A Keeley Super Phat Mod (handbuilt Keeley clone of the Boss Blues Driver with his mods made to it), and the JHS Twin Twelve.
Strangely enough my "Non-Tube, super portable, take it to the Jam" amp works the same way as these pedals. A Roland Blues Cube Boss Drive Special. It's supposedly a JTM45 in a "much larger box"
It's not a modelling amp. It replicates the stages and interactions of tube amp components with circuitry.
So, it's either a coincidence, or this style of engineering really works for me.
