Best Plexi clone?
I have a few I'm looking at, don't really want to spend more than 5k.
Suggestions? Thanks Pic for one of my Teles for attention: |

This one might be on the wrong side of the world?
https://www.bluetone.fi/plexi-50/ It does have flexibility to reduce power and even use different power tubes.

Are we talking 100 watts of thunder, or are you flexible on power?
Low power, I'd go with the Suhr PT15ir. Reactive load built in and really nice cab simulation. 3 channels and you can get into Plexi-land. But it is way more flexible than a plexi clone. The Suhr SL 68 is a 100 watt plexi type amp and the SL67 is a 50 watter. All of them are half your budget. Well about... Here's a vid of the PT15 I'm not a suhr fanboy by the way. don't own a single product. I've played the PT15 and the SL67.

The thing about the vid is not just because it is loud but it is a small space. The pressure effect of the speakers low end is greater, sort of like the sound inside a car with a big system.

Which Plexi? JTM45? 1959? 18 Watt? 1987? My favorite of the bunch is the 1987.

I know a lot of the guys that I totally respect give a huge thumbs up to these guys for no compromise vintage plexi tone (in all of their variants)...

Buddy of mine got hold of one about 40 years ago - set it up in his backyard... At SPL's where a 100-watter would be getting into the tone zone, this baby wasn't even breathing hard... A couple years ago I took some test passes in a dragster... Same experience...

Have you considered a Friedman? The Smallbox is a little different than a plexi but many have raved about it. Same with the Dirty Shirley. They can give more gain than the Plexi too.

Even a "real" plexi might not be the exact sound in your head.
