Record with the Iconic Amp that Redefined the Sound of Rock

Introduced in 1975, the Marshall JMP 2203 amplifier ushered in a new era of Marshall rock dominance. The JMP 2203 — which became the JCM800 in 1981 — offered varying degrees of intense, modern-sounding crunch and bold clean tones. Over the ensuing decades, the 2203 became a go-to for artists ranging from Jeff Beck and Andy Summers, to Tom Morello, Judas Priest, Slayer, and the Pixies’ Joey Santiago. Developed by Softube, the Marshall JMP 2203 plug-in is a thorough emulation of this pioneering amp, down to its four EL34 power tubes and its sensitive, musical high-gain preamp. It also offers powerful multi-mic sounds for a range of professional studio tones.

What They Say

A game changer for rock guitar, the 2203 is simple and direct. Always solid, punchy and crunchy...letting the notes sing clear and loud. This plug-in recreates that unique and individual response the 2203 has—and it misbehaves just like the real thing!

    Excellent

    I had a few of the real ones over the years and always loved their sound. Using this Marshall plugin via Unison technology on Apollo Twin X feels good playing through it and sounds great. I have a number of the UAD guitar plugins but this is quickly becoming my favourite by far. Sounds good, feels good. I also appreciate how simple it is to use as opposed to the Brainworx ones. Simple without a ton of options I find is more productive.

    Super useful and versatile

    Really versatile, drives convincingly and cleans up nicely for edge of break up or straight up clean tones.

    Sounds convincing

    Sounds really convincing that you are actually listening to a mic'd up Marshall Stack.

Frequently Asked Questions

The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.
Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.
