Marshall<sup>®</sup> Plexi Classic Amplifier

Marshall® Plexi Classic Amplifier

The undisputed alpha dog of rock and roll guitar amps, the Marshall “plexi” amplifier is as legendary as the music it helped create. From Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, Duane Allman to Eric Clapton, the Plexi’s punishing melange of snarl, sustain, smoothness, and raunch defined the sound of rock. Developed by Softube, the Marshall Plexi Classic Amp plug-in gives you the sound of this iconic amp with a perfectly placed microphone from engineer Tony Platt who recorded AC/DC’s Back in Black and Highway to Hell.

Introduced in 1969, the Ampeg SVT bass amp is still the reigning king of high-powered tube bass tone.

Excellent

Using the sphere dlx the channel linking with dsp makes a very flexible latency free solution for many different applications.

Fan for Life

while running my production studio I have tried, used, and formulated that Universal Audio is the interfaces that just work for me from my Volt to my Apollo x8 , and if it is Not Broke, Don't Fix it.....

Sonido espectacular.

Vengo de una Solid State Logic y noté la diferencia nada más conectarla y lanzar una canción de Dua Lipa a través de mis monitores Focal , de campo cercano. Cuando probé la tecnología Unison con el Avalon 737 supe de inmediato que acababa de entrar en otro nivel. Y eso que era un Neumann U87. Ns gran compra, sin duda.

Not compatible with windows

I purchased an apollo twin x usb (windows only) I figured it would be plug and play but that couldn't be further from the truth. I watched several trouble shoot videos and could never resolve the issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled uaudio software 5+ times. I've never stressed so much over hardware simply doing its job. Uaudio, if you want to sell more units, make your hardware compatible with windows. I will be purchasing an RME babyface pro once I get my return funds.

No funciona en Windows

Hola tengo una apollo twin e Thunderbolt 3 para Windows. Pero desde que la compré no deja de darme error con la compatibilidad de Windows Tengo un Laptop Bueno El cable Thunderbolt es Bueno, pero me hace unos estallidos al reproducir cualquier tipo de audio y distorsion en cualquier plataforma. Ya segui los pasos que me dijo universal audio, pero nada tiene solución Solo desaparece Los malos sonidos Si tenga la frecuencias de muestro mayor a 96Kh .... no puedo poner una fecuencia más baja por que empieza todos los sonidos Feos

DSP OR GTFO

Made the switch from a focuswrong 4i4 and never looked back since. Don’t make the mistake I made and try to cut corners by being a brokie, it will not get you anywhere. Andrew Tate would’ve been ashamed of the old me, but now I bet you he’d let me drive his Bugatti with no questions asked.
Thanks Universal Audio !!!

I have just upgraded from Twin USB (Win) to Twin X Duo (Mac) and the improved clarity is spectacular.
Highly recommended!

Great but power supply issues

I have two of these. I love them except both had power supply issues and both were sent back for new ones. (I bought them around the same time.) Now they work fine and sound fantastic but it's unclear to me if this was an issue that only I had or was more widespread. Their products are always great just kind of shocked by this, One unit I can understand. Two, Not so cool,.
