Sounds similar to the differences with the SV20! Smallbox isnt much softer in the top end unlike the SV, but overall a bit darker / rounder / bassier / less clear than the Plex.
Plex definitely has a little more "Bite" in the high-mids that I associate Marshall plexis having. But the difference is so small. I would still buy the Smallbox as you get a 2nd channel, and it also has the FX loop.
I have a ton of amps, including BE100DLX and a WWSB. I honestly don’t know why I need any other amp besides the SB. And a fantastic loop, to boot. Epic in a song and band mix and you showcase the fantastic dynamics on tap.
I had a Plex for a bit and got a small box winded up keeping the small box. Plex is awesome but the small box is so versatile and way more user friendly for live use
I have a Plex style amplifier from another manufacturer. it has a switch that adds the fx loop or removes the fx loop. I notice a very similar difference between Plex and the small box.
@@lancethompson218not even remotely close to true. Plugging straight into a small box is some of the best tones I’ve ever heard. Best amp I’ve ever owned.
Thanks so much for this video man! I think the Small Box is more my taste, I’ll buy it. Great playing!
Now we need Friedman Plex vs. Diezel Paul 😊
Are you planning to do a Plex vs Helios video? I have a Helios 50 and am curious how the Plex compares.

What riff were you playing at 1:21 ? Both amps sound great but the Plex has that Marshall growl.

Which amp are you playing first - it would be great if you could make that clear
SB
He does... 🙄
Small Box = record ready, Plex= wild boar
This!
Well.. I own a SmallBox 50 and yes! It's a killer amp. However I miss some bright high end. I think I'll be getting a Plex to replace it.
@ the bright high-end that has to cut off in the mix, because it would sound not good with vocals and cymbals

Agreed, I have the Smallbox combo and the tone is fantastic. Dave says channel 1 is a direct copy of his 68 Plexi, which I believe.
Please do a Plex vs JEL 20 , yes the 20
That would be interesting!
Auf deine Sammlung an Amps kann man echt neidisch werden. Tolle Sammlung 👍
plex seems more open, cutting and clear

What Riff were you playing at 2:38? It sounds super familiar but I can’t place it and want to learn it. Is it Satriani or Vai by chance?
Cliffs of Dover theme - for the poor😅

How does the Plex take pedals compared to the SB?
I just got a smallbox and can tell that all my pedals sound 10 times better. Really takes pedals amazingly well
@@potterman83 So is it the smallbox that takes them better or the plex? Sorry, hard to tell based on your comment haha. Thanks!
@@dontfeartheriffer smallbox but I bet the plexi is good with pedals as well
Plex versus some jubilee please ?
I once made a SV20 vs Mini Jub vid.. There‘s definitely Plexi sounds in the Jub.
Is your SB the version with the Thump adjustment on the back?
No. It has a fixed depth of a 220k/4n7 ( if I recall correctly the values).
Hmm. Plex, Smallbox or SV20 if you only have 1.

That's called the Riemann fundamental theorem of calculus.
What?? It’s totally normal to have a room with $40,000 in gear isn’t it??? 😮
Sound the same
Small box is boring junk...the plex offers a lil more and is incredibly dissapointing. 2800 wasted
You‘re on a mission, huh? lol
@duese888 middion? Amps suck and the overhype is ridiculous. Just helping people avoid same mistakes I've made.
@@duese888 sick of folks making fake ass videos...boosted...power siaked...20.000 dollar tube mics....editing. amp sounds weak in real life...toys

An opinion is an opinion. What amps didn't disappoint you?
