The Plextortion is a distortion pedal that was originally designed to emulate a JCM800 with celestion greenbacks (Back in Black era AC/DC tones through van halen, dokken, ratt, and all those amazing 80's rock "cranked Marshall" tones). It has a very 'brown' sounding distortion, a bit similar to the pinnacle pedal.

It differs from the pinnacle in that it is a tighter distortion, more like preamp tube distortion where the pinnacle is a bit looser, more like power tube distortion.

The Super Plextortion differs from the standard Plextortion in that it has 3 totally different gain structures. It is more of a transparent type of tone (more of a celestion vintage 30 type of tone) where the standard plextortion has more of a mid focused marshally 'greenback' sound to it.

Basically, the super plextortion is more of a modern sounding distortion where the standard plextortion is more vintage sounding.

I've noticed that some guys like play their distortion pedals that emulate marshall tones THROUGH a marshall. Let's be honest - I can play a chorus pedal through a marshall and get a very "marshally" sounding chorus pedal... In my opinion this isn't a fair or accurate representation of a pedal. Because of this, I record my clips and videos through everyday affordable guitars and amps in order to be as accurate as possible.

Comparing the Super Plextortion and the Standard Plextortion
The best way to put it was written by Jeff Baker of FrugalGuitarist...

"The Plextortion offers a nice "late 1970s/early 1980s" Marshall sound, with a darker speaker voicing... The Super Plextortion is brighter, more aggressive, more forward in the midrange and treble, and has more gain on tap. However they overlap in some ways. The big difference is that the Plextortion, when used for higher gain stuff, still has a more classic kind of clipping, while the Super Plextortion has more modern clipping.

The Plextortion covers the range of Plexi---earlier JCM800 most comfortably. The Super Plextortion covers the range of later JCM800---JCM2000 DSL most comfortably. Both sound very nice, both have a flexible range of gain, but those are the ways I've found them to sound the best."
