The technical explanation of the schematic was awesome! I def learned something. Back when I was an apprentice in electrical school we did a quarter of electronics and I just didn’t see any practical application of it. Fast forward 10 years and I’m into guitars, amps, and pedals and wish I would have paid a little more attention.
Hell yeah! Rock n Roll man - got that classic vibe 🤘I'm working on getting mine dialed in ... thanks for your settings & review! Settings @ 10 should be easy enough!
Awesome tone! Your Bad Boy and Little Brother tone is still the best! One of these days I've got to get another 2203! Euge, you are one of the coolest guys on the internet! You should do movie reviews, exercise tips, political commentary, history, religion, etc.! It would be very cool! :)
You make it sound great. I never end up satisfied with software amps in the end and I have spent way too much money on them in the past. I save for the real deal now as Im trying to learn my lesson with software. Great video as always man.
💪😎 Yeah, real deal is always a real deal but damn these are good nowadays. I’ve used real amps & plugins on many albums I’ve done in recent years and the results have been fantastic 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V I agree they are really good. I have also used them on a few records for clients but we can all be guilty of self criticism. Do you send them out into a cab and mic it or always with an ir?
Excellent insight in the plug in and a lot of useful info about the real Plexi as well! From your name and you accent I can imagine you are finnish, is that right? I Italian but I lived in Helsinki for 5 years and now Finland has a special place into my heart ❤️
My man! love the way you play, Now i have watched some of your other videos, and i think this one lacks a bit of "grit" you may wanna add a bit 2k (0.5-2dB) to spice them up... and as always great videos man, Thumbs up!
To my ear and bare in mind this is on UA-cam, but they have nailed the bottom end on this plug in. That’s what most people get wrong on plexi models in my opinion.
One thing the Plexi does is unbelievable dynamics in going from somewhat clean with very light picking or guitar volume backed off to a roaring gain with harder pick attack. How was the plug-in when you pick very softly to hard pick attack? Does it respond to dynamic picking like the real deal? Also on the low bass side input, it’s possible to get a very clean side with some treble on the real amp because of channel bleed, so if you were to turn up the high volume of the high input while plugged into low input bass, the treble would bleed through and brighten the sound. Did they recreate that part too? Just curious how close they got to some of the quirks of an SL. It sounds great while you are playing and has that airy bite like a Plexi. I always think of a chainsaw chomping air when I hear a Plexi. It’s probably my favorite Marshall sound with a lot of early metal and old school rock and roll too. Jimmy Page Madison Square Garden tones are great where he swapped out the EL34’s with KT88’s is my favorite Zeppelin tones. Early Iron Maiden Dave Murray sound or early Mercyful Fate Michael Denner tones too. Plexi can produce such a wide variety of sounds. I love the modded Plexi circuit in the Bogner’s, Friedman’s, Ceriatone’s too. It just does so much early metal and rock sounds with a regular six string and normal tuning which is what I play all the time. Great video!
@@EugeValovirta230V I bet one could hypothetically have this plugin loaded on say... an old 2012 intel quad i7 Mac mini maxed out with 16gb ram & SSD, use a Midicommander footswitch, and then push air using an Orange Pedal Baby power amp and cab? Poor man's Fractal?! Haha! I've been doing something like that with an Orange Omec, Katana 50, Midicommander, and Biasfx, but Softube sounds waaaay better! Lightweight and sonically convincing? What's not to love!
Hi Euge , please try and do a video on FORTIN Nameless Marshall plug !! Its much much bigger sounding right of the back !! You'll make it sound even larger !! Cheers and Love from Mumbai India , we're rockin out 80s style here ! Much Power !
Thanks @@EugeValovirta230V I watched this video again as well as your Silver Jubilee 2555 review and now I can see your leg stomping on a pedal under your desk before the pic of your Boss SD-1 appears
Jake; my song writing partner in Cyhra uses one and he suggested me to try it out to make things easier for us and I’m glad I tried ’cos I love it. It’s the most logical and easy to use DAW I’ve ever used (well I’ve used mainly ProTools & Logic previously but anyways 😊). And Jake got me an artist deal with Steinberg so that’s really cool also and they’ve been super helpful & supportive 👌. Thanks!
I don’t have those but have tried them and if I my memory serves me well these Softube Marshall plugins are the most realistic and closest to real amps (which I have several 😊) as they probably should be since they are made in co-operation with Marshall and are the only official ones 😎👌.
Hi Euge, I have been watching your "softube series" and to be honest, you sort of sold the plugins to me. The videos are great! But one thing keeps ringing here... I saw your video on amp room and it seems to be pretty huge and therefore way too heavy in terms of cpu power consumption... Is it the case? Cheers and be safe!
This Riffs is what We do ever We take this hahahah Man coollll!!!! But you know ... I like Guitar Rig till today man ... because all tools there one place! hahaha and sounds this amps soooo coool too ....
I tried this plugin, I feel like this plugin is extremely muddy in the low mid. Like there is a blanket over the cab or the mic is cupped, not sounding open enough. I switch the cab, this problem doesn't go away. Are the real thing also behave like this?
It’s the ”vintage” sound 😎. There are as many different Plexi sounds as there are Plexis and players. Old Marshalls can sound completely different to one another but I think this does what Plexis does in general really well 👌😎.
Make sure to change the mics from the default setting to the dynamic ones (57 and 609), like he did in the video. All the others sound muddy to me as well.
The Marshall Model 1959 is an awesome amp. I don't mean "awesome" like, "Oh, Paris, that cute little Teacup Chihuahua in your handbag is awesome!" or, "Hey, those day-glo laces on your Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars are totally awesome, bruh!" I mean like tidal waves, hurricanes, erupting volcanoes and planetary asteroid strikes are awesome. They are almost horrifyingly loud, mostly because their circuit is so simple and efficient, I suspect. And calling them "100 watts" is a joke. That "100 watts" rating is only up until total harmonic distortion gets up to something like 3%, and they go quite a ways past that. Wimpy, limp-wristed ones generate more like 140 watts cranked up, and strong ones are putting out as much as 170 watts. Hang around any that are turned up without wearing your hearing protection and your ears _will_ ring for the rest of your life. But they make "that" sound and they take most pedals really well. And playing one really loud will make you a better guitarist because at that kind of volume, there is no hiding your mistakes and deficiencies, even from yourself. You (and everyone else for miles around) will know _exactly_ what guitar skills you need to work to improve. It's a real wake-up call. This is a good review of this plug-in and a good intro to Plexi's and how they work/how to use them. Way to go, dude.
Thanks! Yes I agree completely. Everyone should experience at least once how it feels playing in front of a cranked plexi 💪🔥. I mean there’s nothing louder in the world except maybe a jet airplane 😎. Rawk n roll!
@@EugeValovirta230V 60 or 70 million years ago an asteroid hit the Earth so hard it incinerated everything on the surface for thousands of square miles and threw so much material up into the atmosphere that it darkened the sun and killed off nearly all life on the surface of the entire planet. That event *might* have been louder than a Marshall Plexi...
Sounds like Softube might be the king of software amps now
💪🔥

Yeah that’s how it usually goes 😎
Pretty damn excellent sounds. You really make that thing sound better than anything else in a while. Good job man, once again 👍
Thanks!

Sounds incredible

@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks man🤘
I didn't know you could turn the cab sim feature off and use your own IRs. Learns something new everyday.
👌🎼
Great playing, great soznd. Thanks for the explaining how the tone of the plexi works.
Thanks!
Hej Euge, This is a good evening, i learned something, thank you...
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Very helpful and informative. I'm really digging your channel. Keep it up!
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Ac/dc vibat tuli tästä 🙏🏻 Siisti toi skeba ja kiitti videosta!
Hyvä! Tänks!

Born in Helsinki but been living abroad for the last 10 years. Currently in Switzerland 🤟.
Cool!
Great!!!! Happy birthday bro!!!!
Thanks!
You are wellcome E!!!!
Sounds great as usual🤘🏼
Thanks! 🤘
Absolutely wonderful video. great examples. You really got the "feel" going.
Thanks man!
That sounds pretty legit.

And thanks for the tip also 😊👌.
Awesome....great playing 👍👏
Thanks!
Sounds so good
👌😎
Euge is so badass without even trying!
😎👍💪
Hi thanks again for another cool Plug-in Review; -) keep it up ;-) cheers
Thanks! I will 😎.
thx for this review!!! awesome VST!
You’re welcome! Thanks!
Airbourne. Nice! I have, like many before me, longed for this tone! Me personally because of the Ramones. $89 plugin?!! Yes please!
👌💪

It’s really close to a real amp and behaves like a real one 👌. Obviously real amp is a real amp but man this is close.

Pepita feels a bit rusty this week. He danced heartily at the beginning but then he decided to be quiet and listen to your explanations :)
😁👌
As far as Marshall type emulations go is Softube your favourite?
Yes

I think Euge just made me need one of those LTD guitars 😢.
This is the best demo of this plugin all the other demos sound super muddy
Glad to hear this! Thanks!
The Randy Rhoads solo and riffs were awesome!!
Thanks!
Did you use an overdrive pedal plugin, or did you actually use a real pedal betweenyour guitar and your audio interface?
Can’t remember anymore but most likely a real od and I’m pretty sure I mention this in the video.
Thanks @@EugeValovirta230V I watched this video again as well as your Silver Jubilee 2555 review and now I can see your leg stomping on a pedal under your desk before the pic of your Boss SD-1 appears
Beautyful Jesus.....! :-D )))
Euge ! You are some modern clone of John Sykes ?? is it some hi-tech ??? :-D great and clear job. Nice !
😁. Thanks!
What prompted you to switch to cubase? Also happy birthday 🤘

How would you compare this against Mercurial Spark, Nembrini MRH and the Neural DSP stuff? Thanks!

I haven’t noticed anything such and it works like a charm 👌.
Likewise!
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks! good to now that 😀👍🏻 these gear videos you do are awesome. They help a lot 🤟🏻

Wich Sd-1 plugin is used in the video?

sounds good , what do u think about neural dsp stuff ?
I’ve tried a few and they’re really good too.
Genial plugins
😎
no big latency whait interface are you using?
Steinberg UR816C
HOW DO I OPEN THIS? WHAT APP IS THE PLUG IN PLUGGED INTO?
As a track insert on your DAW.
Hey Euge! come you don’t own a real super lead?
It’s a great and legendary amp indeed but I’m more of a 2203 guy 💪😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V indeed 😎😎😎
Do you need to use this in daw or can it be a standalone???
Can’t remember now but I’m pretty sure the info is on Softube’s website 👌.
What song is that?
Just a little something I wrote for this video so lets call it "The PLEXI Song" 😎.
Ever tried a Blackstar HT Stage 100?
Yeah I used to have the HT60 (or something) combo which I used with small club shows every now & then. I think it was pretty good 👌.
❤️🤘
