British Amp Tone in a Box

There's not a guitar player alive who doesn't love kicking back and cranking up into a dimed British tube amp — you know the one we mean. That low-mid gut punch. That glassy top-end sparkle. That crunchy knobs-at-11 saturation. It's the very foundation on which the past 50 years of rock music have been built. Well, the good folks at Mesa Engineering have found a way to bottle the British sound into the Dynaplex ("Plex"? Purple? Get it?) overdrive pedal. Paired with the right tube amp, the Dynaplex has all the features and plenty of juicy gain to take you from soul-kissed English blues to a Pandora's stack of pandemonium. In addition to common Level, Gain, and Tone controls, the Mesa Dynaplex features the all-important interactive Presence control to give you a taste of that power tube treble chime. There's even an internal voicing switch to get you a classic mid-forward chirp or a modern midrange scoop that's better suited to contemporary playing styles. Looking for cranked British amp tone in a box? The Mesa Engineering Dynaplex overdrive has what it takes to transform your base tone.

Amp-quality components, American craftsmanship

The same skilled hands that have built an empire of iconic amps — from the multifaceted Mark V to the inimitable Triple Rec — are the very hands that build every Mesa Dynaplex pedal that leaves the line. The Mesa Dynaplex overdrive is built here in the USA, in sunny California, using the finest sonic circuits ever discovered. The Dynaplex boasts an extremely musical and intuitive control set that's quick to dial in and sacrifices nothing in terms of tone. True bypass switching preserves your dry signal when switched out of your chain. And a low-draw topology that accepts a wall supply or a 9-volt battery means the Mesa Dynaplex pedal is yours to incorporate into any rig you own. Looking for enhanced true British tone from a floor-friendly pedal format? Reach for the Mesa Dynaplex overdrive pedal from Sweetwater.

A sleeper product

I picked up a few Mesa pedals to round out my "collection" of them and this is one that I didn't try before I bought. I was pleasantly surprised. The videos do not do this justice. When you use this pedal be aware that the tone control will add volume, gain, and presence to the mix. It's better to not think of it as a tone control, or rather, think of the tone control as controlling more than tone.

Really Great and Dynamic Overdrive

This is a great overdrive that cleans up nicely and gets into distortion territory when driven up. The Presence and Tone knobs add a lot of diversity in sound, and they also seem to add volume nicely when turned up. I have two guitars with humbuckers and one with P-90s, and the P-90 guitar just loves this pedal a lot. Also, the purple/cream color scheme looks sick on my board!
Rated 5/5

DYNAPLEX is AMAZING

Pulled the trigger and bought this pedal with minimal sound samples available to listen to while making my decision. One thing I can say is the response of this pedal is amazing and none of the sound samples show that very well. I set the gain at 11 and presence around 9, I can get clean crisp arpeggio picking lightly and as I would dig in it turned into a dirt tone that just blew me away. The range of gain is from just on the edge to almost full on distortion, but it retains the character of each note so well. Every where in the gain range, and while at max on the gain knob, everything is crystal clear and very usable. Clean to heavy this adds something I have yet to find in other pedals, I am not one for heavy gain but I do like it on this pedal. This pedal is not transparent but it can get really close. The presence knob on this is not like other pedals, I have other pedals that if the presnece is past 1 O'Clock the sound starts to fall apart, not on this one. All the way around with the presence sound very usable and atriculate. The mid boost switch inside is tucked under some wiring so you have to be careful when you flip it over but it does exactly what you would expect, SUPER hard bump in the mid freqs. All I can say is I was on the fence between this and the FLUX Drive and I think I fell off on the right side for what I was looking for. This pedal has character and thats the bottom line. Never played anything from MESA before but I will be from now on.

It's hard to imagine a more quintessentially modern guitar amplifier than a Mesa/Boogie, and when Sweetwater guitarists want high-gain tone, Mesa is where they start. One thing we love about these amps is their sheer versatility, such as the massive range of tone you get from each channel, the freedom to use the tubes you love, onboard CabClone cabinet emulation, and MIDI control. And it's not just guitar amps - Mesa/Boogie's bass amps and pedals are equally cool. What's more, thanks to our incredibly close relationship with Mesa, you can even customize your own amp right here on Sweetwater's website! Get the sound and style you want from your next amp, with a Mesa/Boogie from Sweetwater.
