Lovepedal Purple Plexi800 tone
I love Lovepedals. I have a black Eternity that sounds great. I want that over the top pedal that will make my strats sound great with ample gain. I do not, however, love that "brown" sound of VH's first few LPs. Clips of the PP800 are scarce. Help me out here guys. Who have a PP800? How is it? thanks

It's a good pedal. Very "metal" sounding. To me, it's more 80's glam/hair metal than EVH. Does a killer Ratt tone! Still deciding if it's going to stay on the board. Have a Mosferatu coming to compare it to.

I went through a lot of dirt pedals looking for a good strat sound.One day I tried a chorus with a mix knob(I'm no fan of traditional chorus sound),set the speed real low,depth 9-10 o'clock and turned the mix knob way down.Now my strat sounds great with any thing and magical with the volume backed down.You can't tell there's any effect on,just fills out the sound.

I used it on a couple of gigs this week and it is SWEET! The gain really kicks in in the last 10% on the gain knob. I tried it with the gain backed way off for rhythm and goosed it with a tube screamer and damn, it just sounded great, made my 1x12 combo sound huge and ratained tons of clairity. Great pedal.

After using it for a couple of weeks... Now, whenever I switch it off, or go to another pedal, it sounds like I've lost all my high end. I think there might be too much highs in the 800, but maybe that's part of the sound?
Any mod to tone down the highs Sean?

Side note
Experiment but I found the EQ worked the best after the 800. I just got a original Purple Plexi 100. More mids, less presence, less gain and a great skinny, fat tone control. skinny kinda has that Zep Houses of the Holy LP sound and the other side of the tone control is more Heartbreaker. Great pedal, together with the 800 I'm covering all my Plexi needs!
