BUILT TO ORDER DESCRIPTION BELOW-

All orders for the time being are built to order. Being a one man shop can be difficult to maintain large releases. However, I am much more able to build pedals as they come in one at a time. Therefore V2 Llano Estacados will be hand built at the time of your order. All pedals should ship within 1-2 business days of your order being received. This also allows for a much more Custom build process and allows me to make any tweaks you think you may want (within reason) during the ordering process. Simply place your order like normal on the website and I will begin making your pedal right away.

*****V2 now available! After feedback from our customers and rigorous re-design and testing, we are proud to announce V2 of our best selling pedal. V2 is virtually identical to V1 but with a completely re-designed Jose mod. With the original pedal we went for authenticity to the original Jose circuitry and made tweaks to try and get close to the sound. Unfortunately JFets don’t translate exactly to the behavior and tone of 12AX7 tubes. Therefore we decided to do away with authenticity to circuit and instead went for authenticity of sound. The Jose switch now uses a OpAmp style boos rather than a Jfet boost. This allows for more gain, better stability, and a tighter more responsive sound, while still keeping true to the distinctive Plexi sound. Additionally we have included new artwork for all new cases.

Modeled after arguably the most iconic amplifier in rock and roll history. Designed from the ground up to obtain the most classic Plexi sounds. From bright clean to saturated VH brown sound. Any British sound you’re looking for it can do it. Anyone who knows Plexi sounds knows that the sound is more than just replicating the preamp. The sound is also heavily affected by the power amp and output transformer being saturated. So, we added those portions to the pedal. It has the exact preamp of the amp using JFets in place of Tubes, a power amp section, and a real output transformer. This gives you all the important sections of the amplifier to truly give you an authentic British sound.  Features soft switch true bypass relay switching.

Settings:

Volume - Master volume for the pedal

Gain - Controls the gain going from the first stage to the second stage, same place as the amplifier

Presence - Controls the overall brightness of the pedal.

Treble - Active high end control. Noon is no change. To the right boost high end, to the left cuts high end.

Bass - Active low-end control. Noon is no change. To the right boost low end, to the left cuts low end.

Variac - clockwise reduces the voltage to the power amp section causing compression and sag the same way turning the voltage down on a real variac would.

All 10 Switch - Eddie Van Halen was notorious for turning all the knobs on his amplifier all the way up to obtain his particular sound. This has a very specific effect on the amplifier that does not translate exactly in pedal form. However, we have found a way to replicate that using a simple switch. Up turns all the knobs to 10, Down all knobs at noon. Up adds more gain, tightness, and compression.

Jose/Eddie Switch - Throughout the 80s there was a particularly gifted amp modder in LA named Jose. Jose Arredondo would modify marshall amplifiers to give them the sound of being turned up at lower volumes. Eddie Van Halen throughout the most famous years used a completely stock amplifier. That’s right, stock. The LLano Estacado Gives you both options. Down (Eddie) is a stock amplifier with No mods. Up (Jose) adds the standard Jose mod to the circuit. In Jose mode, the sound is tighter and more responsive but does not push the power section as hard.

Internal controls -

Poweramp - Controls the amount of gain added by the power amp section. This control should really only be used to adjust for lower output pickups that may need more gain. ***WARNING*** turning this up too high with high output pickups can overload the pedal

Bright - Adds the notorious bright cap to the gain knob adding more treble to the overall sound.

Deep - A common modification added by Jose Arredondo to the third stage. This adds a bit more gain, more bass, and more fullness but can be less tight and responsive.

*****V2 now building and shipping! New V2 offers better flexibility with the presence. This control is now active instead of passive allowing for both cut and boost of the higher end frequencies. Additionally this new V2 pedal has higher headroom for louder volumes.

An exact clone of the SLO100 amp but with JFETs instead of tubes. Sounds just like the real thing but at a fraction of the price!

Custom LED available. when you place your order message me to let me know if you want a Red, Blue, or Green LED. If I don't hear from you Red will be selected by default.

This pedal has an internal converter to run at 18v internally, DO NOT plug in any voltage other than 9v!!! 9v only!

An exact clone of the Sunn Model T amp but with JFETs instead of tubes. This pedal includes the Preamp and the Poweramp in the circuit. Anyone who knows Model T sounds knows that most of the Doomy sounds come from the amp being completely cranked and saturating the power amp. Therefore instead of just cloning the preamp, we decided to give users the full package Pre AND Power amp sections to give you a real Sludge sound.

This pedal has an internal converter to run at 18v internally, DO NOT plug in any voltage other than 9v!!! 9v only!

Heavily inspired by the Mark series from Boogie/Mesa in the 1980s. While not an exact clone the sweep of the EQ is specially designed to give you the perfect mid-scoop tone you’ve heard on classic Metallic thrash riffs and John S, White Snk tones.

Volume - Controls overall volume of the pedal

Gain - Controls Overall Gain of the pedal.

Mid Cut - the signature post gain graphic EQ mid scoop. all the way left is no mid-scoop but also no boost. All the way right is full mid-scoop. Further than the amp is capable of to give you studio scooped sounds.

Treble/Middle/Bass - All are pre-gain to shape the tone the same way the amp does. Turn the bass down for that signature tightness in the low end.

Highs - Active post-gain EQ controls the High-end output

Lows - Active post-gain EQ controls the low-end output

Presence - Active post gain eq setting that controls the overall brightness of the pedal.

Internal Controls - Gain 2 control.

Since the amp itself has two gain controls we included both to be as close to authentic as possible. The Gain on the front panel is actually Gain 1 as we found it to be more responsive in pedal form. And internally there is an adjustment for what would be Lead gain on the amp.

#######ONLY RUN THIS PEDAL AT 9V#######

#######THERE IS AN INTERNAL CONVERTER TO MAKE IT 18V INTERNALLY ANY OTHER VOLTAGE WILL DESTROY THE PEDAL#########
