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.

You ever just standing there, slapping your bass, staying true to the root secretly wanting to melt faces and blast the doors off the place? Plxfx has done that with this amazing bass version of the illumination guitar box. Great for my desert rock, stoner, sludgy songs. It works so well that my wife won’t let me use it in the house. I had it made custom in a burnt orange. Sometimes I just leave it out when I have company over as a conversation piece, it’s that cool.

It’s been 10 years, since i realized that my old BOSS BOD-3 was not giving me what i needed and started this quest to find the best Overdrives that could please my ears. I’ve been going Up and down, left to right, playing many pedals, such as RAT, Darkglass, TEch21 Bassdriver just to name a few, but nothing felt quite right; Nothing felt like the Illumination B+. I never though a pedal this simple, would offer so much. It’s blend control is so tight, it brings up the best of your instrument and matches it with 3 kinds of Crazy overdrive clipping that you can select at ease. I have never hear anything like this pedal before and it has retired all my overdrive pedals i currently use. thank you PLX for this amazing product.
