Marshall 1959 Plexi Super Lead NAM Capture Pack

Classic British Plexi Power

The Tonecast Marshall 1959 Plexi Super Lead NAM Capture Pack is built around the raw, open, and unmistakably British character of a late-’60s style Plexi Super Lead.

This pack focuses on the things that make a great Plexi tone work: dynamic pick response, aggressive upper mids, woody low-mid punch, and the natural transition from edge-of-breakup into full classic-rock grind.

Rather than loading the pack with nearly identical captures, each NAM profile is dialed for a specific purpose—from lower-gain vintage crunch to pushed, harmonically rich lead tones.

5 Premium NAM Captures

PLEXI CLEAN PUSH

A lower-gain Plexi sound with open dynamics, strong note definition, and just enough breakup when you dig in.

Great for:

• Classic rock
• Blues rock
• Pedal platforms
• Layered rhythm tracks

PLEXI CRUNCH

The core vintage Super Lead rhythm tone.

Punchy lows, forward mids, and a bright, articulate top end with plenty of pick attack.

Perfect for:

• AC/DC-style rhythm tones
• ’70s hard rock
• Classic metal
• Open-chord crunch

PLEXI HOT

More gain and saturation while keeping the amp’s aggressive British midrange intact.

This is the sweet spot for:

• Hard rock
• Early metal
• Hot-rodded classic tones
• Lead/rhythm crossover

PLEXI LEAD

A more saturated capture with extra sustain and harmonic content.

Designed for:

• Singing leads
• Big bends
• Classic rock solos
• Thick single-note lines

PLEXI BOOST

The tightest and most aggressive capture in the pack.

A boosted Plexi-style tone with more attack, firmer lows, and extra cut for players who want to push the classic circuit into heavier territory.

Great for:

• ’80s metal
• Thrash-influenced tones
• Modernized Plexi sounds
• Tight rhythm work
