what's going on everybody Daric Bennett here representing one of the best
amplifier companies in the freaking world and that is gallien-krueger and
today we're gonna be talking about the GK Plex now I know some of you been
seeing this circulating around trying to figure out what it is or exactly what it
does and I know it looks a little intimidating at first but trust me once
you learn it it's actually really simple and it's amazing so today we're gonna be
doing a short demo going over all the settings and all the advantages that
this preamp has here we go alright guys so here it is and I just
wanted to go over a few things before we got started with the demo just so you
guys know what I'm turning up turning down or adjusting also just go over a
few features of the hardware so here we go you have your input here first then
you have your return and send for your fix your output here and then your power
supply right simple enough then you have a ground lift switch here and then also
your pre and post switch here and also the XLR for your di of your direct input
alright next you have your input where you can plug up any audio device and go
ahead and practice along with it you can practice with a song or metronome or
anything like that I love that option I'll use this all the time alright so
and also next to it you have your headphones of course your headphone
input so the good thing about this you can record straight from this USB input
just plug the USB right into your laptop or your computer or whatever you're
recording with you can also do firmware updates for this preamp as well so
that's a good option alright so here you have your overdrive foot pedal switch
and this literally speaks for itself and you'll see how that works in a minute
then over here you have your compressor slash
tuner alright if you click that twice you go into the tuning option actually
mutes the whole preamp and you can tune straight from there and it'll show that
it's not gonna show any notes right now cuz I'm not plugged up so to activate that you
go ahead and push it twice pretty quick alright then you're back home back to
the tuner back home okay and then this also works as a compressor if you press
it one time and it'll engage these two knobs alright guys so going from left to right
with the knobs you have your bass / bump knob first of course then you have your
low mid / contour knob then your high mid / high cut then your treble
/ presence knob and then keep in mind guys all of these knobs have a push
function and they have different levels that they can operate at so if you just
push one of them they have different levels and you'll see exactly how this
works and I'll show you exactly what it does when we go into the demo alright so next
you have your master slash voice knob and this works just as your master
volume your master overall volume and then your voice is actually when this is
press this works as a button as well and this cycles through and emulate some of
the old GK older GK heads and some of the GK models alright so that like the
first one or zero is just flat there's no additional EQ one it emulates the 800
rb2 it does the fusion 550 I love that one
three it does the MB 800 4 it does emulates the MB 150 and then five is
just a bypass so you can just bypass and have the straight sound of your bass or
whatever you're going through from this preamp going through this preamp so next
is the overdrive knob alright and then this actually works as a button -
alright you to engage that you have to press the overdrive then you can cycle
through it has five different levels of overdrive alright let's take that off
alright then next it comes to your compression these
to control your compression this is the level / attack and this is the
thresholds slash ratio okay so you can adjust this and it actually has
different ratios - once this is engaged you can cycle through
so that's about it let's get into the demo
alright guys so that was a quick demo of the GK Plex preamp you can check it out

can go grab one today I'm Derrick Bennett til next time
