Flexi-50 Amplifier
The Flexi-50 amplifier head was released in 2003, and made its debut at that year’s Music Live event in the UK. It is a 50-watt, class AB amplifier, meant to “create an idealized (Marshall) ‘Plexi’ tone”. As a “subtle homage” to the Plexi, the Flexi’s faceplate is gold Plexiglas. Like its predecessors, the Flexi-50 was designed to take the same range of vacuum tubes that the UniValve and BiValve-30 can. However, the Flexi is not self-biasing. Instead, it has three bias test-points on the rear panel for manually biasing the amplifier when the tubes are changed. It received a Guitarist Choice Award from Guitarist Magazine in April 2004, and a Guitar Player Magazine’s Editor’s Pick Award in December of that year as well.
