Desert Island Guitar Amp Simulator

I love it because it's medium/low gain sound is so rich and responsive to the guitars volume pot, I think it's one of the best amp sims out there, period. Never played the real thing but I believe Softube and Marshall made an effort to replicate a very specific "golden unit" from Marshall's vault.

This plugin just delivers amazing results in a very simple yet very flexible plugin, featuring the classic non master volume amp section with jumpable inputs and 3 "channel strips" to power up your tone, each with it's own unique character: VALVE, FET, DYNAMIC and OFF.

Each of the 3 modes feature a different mic preamp topology with two corresponding speaker microphones and one room microphone (for some air), and some handy high and low cut filters on the main out. Each microphone has independent volume and pan. One stop shop for great guitar tone!

I can easily enjoy some of the best Hendrix single coil tones I ever heard, as well as some Mark Knopfler Humbucker tone (seriously tasty Brothers in Arms tone*), some Jimmy Page tones... The resemblance to the original records is uncanny. I bought it with crazy 90% discount via the plugin suite that's included with the UAD Volt 276 interface, what an amazing value! Sounds so good that I never used other IR's with it.

If I could only have one Amp Sim, it would most likely be this one.

Highly recommend!

*Mark Knopfler recorded Brothers in Arms track with a Gibson Les Paul and the Marshall JTM45, not the 1959 Super Lead

Best of the best!

I have tried Softube's Marshall 59 Plexi Super Lead emulation against various competitors products (Nembrini MRH159 V2 / Amplitube S100 / Amplitube JH Gold / Guitar Rig Pro 6 Plex/ Overloud TH-U Plexi / Bias Amp 2 69 Super Lead).

None of them sound as good as Softube's 59 Plexi Super Lead. The only other one that came within sniffing distance was the Nembrini MRH159. Amplitube's offerings were a distant third.

Hands down, this is the best early Marshall emulation out there.
