The Carl Martin Single PlexiTone captures the core voice of the Pro Series PlexiTone’s original High Gain channel in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format. Designed in collaboration with Pete Thorn, it features a tighter low end and a smoother top end for consistent performance across different setups. Equipped with a minimalist layout of Level, Drive, and Tone controls for intuitive operation, the pedal uses an internal ±12V DC converter powered by a standard 9V supply to deliver extra headroom and dynamic response.

PlexiTone Single was developed to capture the core voice of our Pro Series PlexiTone in a more focused, pedalboard-friendly format. Designed in close collaboration with Pete Thorn, the goal wasn’t to reinvent the sound — it was to refine how it behaves across different amps and setups.

The gain structure is directly based on the High Gain channel from the original PlexiTone. What’s changed is how the pedal responds in real-world use. The low end is tighter and more controlled, while the top end is slightly smoother, making it easier to dial in consistent tones regardless of amp or speaker configuration. The result is a high-gain overdrive that feels immediate and balanced rather than aggressive for its own sake.

Despite its compact size, PlexiTone Single operates internally at high voltage via our DC-DC converter design. Powered from a standard regulated 9V supply, the circuit runs at ±12V internally — just like the original AC-powered PlexiTone. That added headroom allows us to use the same high-quality components and preserve the dynamic response and clarity that define the Pro Series.

The control layout is intentionally minimal: Level, Drive, and Tone. No channel switching, no secondary functions — just direct access to output, gain, and high-frequency shaping. It’s a straightforward design built for players who want a dedicated high-gain voice that integrates easily into modern rigs.
