It's incredible how good plugins and modellers sound nowadays. Loadboxes and IR's are also amazing.
I think in this day and age for the guitar hobbyist, it's actually more important to have a set of good studio monitors than an actual guitar cab.
Indeed!
And the most important is still the guitarists playing skills 😎😎.
Yes been waiting for this one!
Cool!
Lol the “ass salt knob” 😂 Great vid man always like watching your vids. You do a great job explaining gear and tones.
Thanks! 😁
Another great video. I think Softube owes you some sort of kick back because you're sure sold me on them! 😉
Thanks!
Glad to hear! 👌😎
Awesome bro!!!!
Thanks!
You are wellcome!!!!
Definitely try out Mercuriall Spark next mate! By far the best 800 2203/4 plugin out there, they just totally nailed the "feel" of it somehow (though, a tip is to turn the Input knob down to 2 when playing EMGs into it. The input control simulates impedance in an interesting way and defaults to 5 which is much much higher than needed)
Thanks for the tip! Will check it out 🤘.
i love your V guitar ;)
Me too 😎
I own the real amp. Got it last month. The plug in doesn’t come close to the real thing. BEST AMP EVER!
Sounds about right to me, and this plugin is probably a lot easier to record well than the real amp outside of a pro studio
Yeah I had it too back in the days and this sounds about the same and is a lot easier to record indeed 😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V cool. Thanks for the feedback. I added this great plugin amp to the Amp Room today :)
@@EugeValovirta230V happen to remember where it ended up to?
Pepita is already tiptoeing :)
Yes 🎄
I bought one from reverb 2 days ago .... the amp should be here this Sunday , I cant wait to hear the amp in action !! how loud the amp for a studio recording ? i need to get a reactive loadbox or i can get a decent tone in a room volume ? btw your videos convinced me to buy the amp... awesome work man and great playing .
Cool!
Like with all tube amps, or at least with 100 w ones, one definitely needs a load box or attenuator to get a good sound at low volumes.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Killer vid Euge! Love your playing!
Ps. Is that CFH ink on your right arm 😁
Thanks!
Yes indeed 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Getcha' Pull! Mad Respect Euge!
Hell Yeah! 💪🙏
Very Kerry Kingish indeed \m/
🤘😎
nice guitar
🤟👌🙏
Reminds me of the Marshall Valvestate 8100, which is a lot tighter and has more of that top end.
That was my first Marshall ever. Bought it early 90s but haven’t played with one in since 90s so I can’t say but it actually might be true 😊.
@@EugeValovirta230V There’s a plug-in from Audiority of the Valvestate, can probably grab it when it’s on sale.
Yeah I’m aware but thanks for the tip anyway 👌😎.
Awesome Review Euge
Is it possible for you to do a review on the Marshall RR59 head ?
Thanks! If I get my hands on one someday then absolutely yes 🙏👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V
I have 2 😎🎸
Oh damn. Lucky you! 👌🎸🎼
Guess they aren’t anywhere near Switzerland? 😊
wasp Bro, I guess it makes more sense to get the 2203 with EL34s then add your own eq or pedals if you want the KK sound, but I do like all those mic and amp settings, its def a all around Marshall metal sound...but again; if you could only choose on softie Marshall...would it not be the 2203?
2203 always 🤟😎
Euge it would be awesome to get your opinion and review of the actual amp! Cheers from Sweden
It’s be really cool indeed! I’ve played some shows with the real amp and Softube has done amazing job as always with their Marshall plugins. They’re the closest to the real things of all plugins I’ve tried during the years 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Let’s hope that Marshall will make a reissue of these at some point. Fingers crossed.
Have you tried mercuriall spark? I am curious about your opinion on that plugin
I haven’t but I’ve heard good things about it.
hey man is it worth the money to get the kk version if you've already have the softube jcm800?
thanks
It’s a bit different sounding with the boost but I use this, like pretty much anything, boosted with SD-1 so…😎
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks man 😁
great euge , so you are using plugin. I know you are using also Scarlet Focsu rite , but what about the latency when you playing . How did you solve this problem? Thx !
Every now & then yeah. There's really no latency 'cos I keep the buffer size at minimum in my DAW (32 samples).
@@EugeValovirta230V which daw?
Cubase Pro 11
Hey Euge, it's a bit off topic but I want to ask if you (as a guitar player) are equally convinced by the quality of Nembrini Amps as the ones from Softube. They have interesting models. But for me as a non guitarist is a bit difficult to judge the small but important details of the responsiveness and such. Would love to hear your opinion. Thank you. Cheers
PS all I can say is that Amp Room always is a joy when I put it on an electric piano and go wild with it or if I use it for re-ramping. Nembrini for me seems to be a bit hard sounding in comparison.
Hey man,
I haven’t tried those so I don’t know 😎.
Cool!
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks for your reply :)
👌😎
Looks like the KK has more low end because of KT84 tubes
Man, that’s a close one to say the least. Still the real amp has that extra cream. But to be honest only a guitarist would notice that. ;-)
Lots of highs, mids and KT88 tubes really gets that gnarly and aggressive Slayer sound for sure. Brings back memories from the 90-s and the sound I tried to dial in. Will probably try it.
Yeah! Most likely yes 😊.
Indeed 🤘💪.
I'm sorry. What's the name of the song?
Ah it’s just something I wrote for this video. It could go by the name ”KK plugin song” 😎🤘.
@@EugeValovirta230V Oh. Sounds great. Thank you. Love your videos. Cheers from Argentina.
Thanks! Glad to hear!
when "real deal"? ;)
Maybe someday but what I recall playing with the real amp back in the days this sounds about the same. Obviously it’s never the exact same but close enough 😎👌.
no mites tollasesta ku luukuttaa soundii nii onks se jotenki vammasen kuullosta niinku et vaikka jos miettiii että kuuluuko tosta nyt mukas e että miten helvetin lujaaa on. mun ajatus tollasesta on että siihen ei mee inputtii se että nyt on muute skeba lujaa päälllä... että siinä pitää olla se kaappi ja sinne pitää mennä ne sähköt ja ne sähköt pitää mennä siihen kitaraa ja kaikki karvat pitäää nousta pystyyn ja sähköt ampuu silmist ja kullist ennenku nsiin on niinku sitä munaa että voi vinguttaa sitä kitaraa
nytku huomasin et vertaat noi molempii niii onhan toi oikee meno paljo dynaamisempi ku toi digitaalinen et ite meinaan ainaki hastiattaa vitut tollaselle digitaaliselle ja vaan jatkaa noita peduja ja kaappeja ja nuppeja ett.... tai no okei oli ihan munakkaan kuulost ku oli toi pedaali tos välis en tiiä
Mikä kellekin toimii parhaiten, niin se toimii parhaiten 😎👍.
Did Marshall really make a scandinavian edition 2203? That must be a joke right?
Yeah we had some unique power, or whatever, regulations considering amps and Marshall needed to adapt to that. All Marshalls from that time (80s) has Swedish text on the back so they’re easily identifiable 👌. They’re all the most aggressive 800s I’ve played and I’ve played 100s of different ones on tours all over the world.
Here’s a video I did about the subject: ua-cam.com/video/5I6nTYCEpVs/v-deo.html
