Softube

Nothing special. There are other options that do the same, and even better. GSat+ for example.

Plus it requires an installation of an PACE iLok service and the apple Bonjour service, plus the softube central... your email address spread over at least 2 other websites... but seriously ilok for a free plugin?

The sound is good, if you want the hussle download it, i dont think the sound justifies the extra steps and apps and services installed on your systems. 2.5 out of 5.

One of the rare saturation I know that is easy to use with subtle rendering never going in the dirty sound. One can choose between keeping the low or high untouched or not. Works great on drums, bass voice. I never used it on guitar as usually I get that through sim.

My favorite FET compressor plugin. The additional controls on the bottom make it very versatile. Still doesn't have a bypass for whatever reason.

The most beautiful Gui as of 2024.

The sound is silk like.

Analog sound, yes sir.

When you learn how to use Weiss DS1-MK3 it will blow your mind. It's a long learning curve, but there is no other compressor software that behaves like DS1-MK3. It's interesting how much it is possible to push the gain on the safe limiter.

Yes, CPU-hungry, expensive (w additional modules) and clunky. But also authentical and prestine sound. I'll have to give the full five stars although I am annoyed from the limitations in workflow.

Because it is the closest to the real thing I will ever get. Even if you could afford let's say the doepfer series - the possibility of dragging as much modules as your CPU can carry is only given in the virtual world (or a billionaire's world).

The sound is powerful, cuts through every mix and the selection of modules is awesome! Also you can buy one of the model-series standalone synth which also come with singular modules for the MODULAR system, nice additions with a good value/money rate.

I really like the 1959 Plexi Super Lead, this one I tried to like, but I could not.

Much too shrill, scratchy, sharp, over-distorted treble, which I could not even correct with the tone controls nor with the channel strip equalizing options very well.

The plugin itself also is pretty old meanwhile and obviosuly never really has been upgraded, at least not concerning any sonic improvements.

Urgently needs a quality upgrade in my opinion, which corrects the existing mistakes, especially improves the sound. The basic character is there, but this awful treble rather reminds me of a 1980's Marshall solid-state amp and not of a real all tube Marshall.

I also own some other JCM800 based plugins from competitors, which nail this tone much better. The strange thing for me is, as this in fact is a Softube developed plugin, that the standard JCM800 in Amp Room sounds much better, more naturally and authentically than this separate, more expensive - so called - Marshall museum reference amp plugin. Whyever.

What I expected, was an even better tone, not a worse one.

Also strange, that this amp is defined as JMP, for me a JMP is a 1959 or a 1987 without Master and 2 channels / 4 inputs. But, as far as I could find out, technically there is no difference between this one and a JCM800.

I really am a Marshall sound fan, but any real amp, which only sounded like this plugin, would be an instant return from me.

This synth is a faithful recreation of the Prophet 5.
I love the sound and indeed looks like Softube nailed it.
They also added an extended panel with additional features as well as aging dial to create aging effect.

Here is a full overview with sound demo and all you need to understand how to use this synth.
