Marshall Plexi - USE CODE NC-PLEX10 to get the Pack for £25 - Valid until next Core Pack is released.
Our profiles and presets leverage the best tools available, including NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) for amp modeling and Convology XT for high-quality convolution effects. Each pack is meticulously crafted to deliver hyper-realistic results, capturing the authentic character of the original gear. We also apply professional recording techniques to ensure studio-grade quality.
For example, our All-In-One (AIO) profiles include a full studio chain featuring high-quality preamps and compression. Importantly, we avoid applying pre-EQ to our profiles, allowing users to tailor the sounds to their specific musical projects without destructive EQ baked in. This approach preserves the richness of harmonic and frequency content, ensuring that users can shape their tones by cutting away excess frequencies rather than resorting to extreme EQ boosts, which can degrade phase integrity and fidelity.
