Monstrous volume, plenty of gain and low noise were the three objectives set out by Andy, and we achieved them in spades: three clipping options—Germanium, None or LED—were added to further sculpt your sound. Utilizing only the best components and true bypass switching ensures a low noise floor and years of dependable usage.
Like all PLX FX pedals, this pedal is a true bypass, so there is no coloration to your sound when it’s turned off. It utilizes a standard 9v 2.1mm power adapter and NO battery snap.

I’ve been looking for the perfect drive pedal for a long time that could work as either an always on drive or to add some more bite to my distortion and the Illumination works exactly how I’ve wanted a drive pedal to work for years. The first time I plugged it in and played it just sounded “right” and it was the greatest relief to feel like I finally found what I was looking for. Truly love this pedal.

The Illumination+ delivers many tones and delivers them in spades by offering everything from a super clean boost through to germanium distortion, all with varying degrees of lovely compression. Add some clear sparkle, country squash, outright gain… the list goes on and it’s all in a quiet, usable, and indestructible package. Get some.
