Here's the Lovepedal Provalve. Howie, look at the second pic. There's an inscription where my finger is pointing: DUAL Purple. 8-)

LMAO
So, I was right!
But who cares. How do two channels of Purple Plexi SOUND? Now that I know.... I'd be inclined to try a purple plexi and a seperate boost (whatever type worked). But that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with having it this way. If it works, it works, and I know the PP is a great pedal.

I don't see that there is a valve in the thing. Why would they call it a pro valve without a tube in it?

DBM, ya got me on that one. Since it is a double Purple Plexi (he has a pedal called the Purple Plexi 800) I would have called it the Purple People Eater myself. :D

any further impressions, now that you've lived with it for a few days?
Cool as it is (I can tell you DIY guys how to do this with any pedal, BTW, if you don't know) I'd rather save the jack, get a Purple Plexi and use a boost or other OD with it for leads.

I actually just got the pedal yesterday.
It took me awhile to dial in the Provalve, but I dig it.
But as far as a Plexi sound goes, I still think my KOTB nails that sound better now that I can play them side by side (I've decided it's not going anywhere). The Plexi part of the ProValve is definitely more like a JCM800/900.
What I was surprised about is how much difference the pedal volume knob makes with the sound of this pedal. The last tweak I did that really made it sound best was to tweak the volume a little past unity and the pedal hit the sound I heard the other day when I tried my buddy's.
Also, it stacks well when the gain is not dimed. I tried a lower gain setting with the Tejas as a clean booster. Quite righteous!!

How heavy does an actual Purple Plexi get BTW? I wonder if there is a difference in the pots like you mentioned in an email.
