When I started designing the SIXTY8 Drive, I had a long list of goals I wanted to achieve. I wanted something that sounded and felt like my favorite 1968 Plexi 12000 series. I wanted something that would allow back-line players to enjoy having a nice M-style crunch channel to go with their F-style cleans. It had to be super low noise, completely natural note sustain and decay, free of any strange fizzy artifacts. Plus - it had to be highly versatile with a wide range of clean to heavily overdriven tones. It also had to be tour-worthy and durable.
