No noticeable scratches, and there are no operational issues. Comes with the box. Please note that I am not offering any price reductions on this item. The Plexi-Drive Deluxe expands upon the standard Plexi-Drive, faithfully reproducing the sound of a Plexi Marshall and adding various features for greater utility and flexibility. First, the EQ, which was a single knob on the Plexi-Drive, has been changed to a three-knob configuration with Bass/Middle/Treble. Furthermore, the addition of a "Bass Boost" switch to increase the low-end thickness allows for the reproduction of the sound pressure of a Marshall 4x12 cabinet, which is inseparable from the Plexi Marshall. Also, for guitarists who prefer a clearer tone, the "Bright Boost" switch, which brings out the high frequencies, will be of great help. The boost section is divided into "Pre Gain" and "Post Gain," which can be turned on/off individually. "Pre Gain" is equivalent to a booster/preamp like a Tube Screamer connected to the input stage of a guitar amplifier, bringing deeper distortion and compression to the Plexi Marshall sound. The designer, Brian Wampler, is so confident in this product that he says, "I can't imagine taking it off my pedalboard."
