Mr Jose is an amp simulator inspired by the sound 1987 Marshall Plexy head with the modification made by electronics engineer Amp Guru Jose Arredondo modified guitar amps in the 80s for Eddie Van Halen, Slash, James Hetfield Steve Vai and many others...
"Mr Jose offers a faithful virtual recreation of that hot-rodded tone. With a vintage-inspired user interface, it gives players immediate control over Bass, Middle, Treble, dual Gain stages, Volume, and Master settings. A dedicated "Jose On" switch enables the famous modded sound, pushing the amp into a heavier, more saturated territory ideal for 80s and modern rock tones.
Inside the plugin, you'll find:
Authentic 80s-inspired visual design.
Two independent Gain controls for flexible overdrive shaping.
Bass, Middle, and Treble EQ section an Presence.
Dedicated Jose On/Off switch to activate the modified circuit sound.
Separate Volume and Master controls for gain staging.
True tube amp vibe with warmth and aggression.
Simple to use, highly musical, and great for dialing in everything from classic crunch to full-on saturated solos, Mr Jose is a must-try for guitarists chasing iconic high-gain sounds."

Not only a convincing Plexi plugin, but - for me - also the by far best and most authentically sounding Jose (Arredondo) Mod simulation, I know.
A lot more gain and harmonics and still this excellent, fast reacting, vivid (hot-rod) Plexi sound. Perfect.
A pure amp plugin without any additional "toys", no even a cabinet section, but these things I usually anyway hardly ever need or use, but the amp simulation does a better job for me than some commercial amp plugins do.
Maybe could be a little less noisy, but this is complaining at high level.
