Marshall Tone
The Tone is great. I may need to add a pedal or reverb to dial it in the way I like it.
R. Whiting
Very useable
This has become my go to when I can’t get to a micked up cab.
G. Daddio

It’s very neato

Best one among Softube Marshalls, but still way to go
If I have to buy a Marshall sim, I'd buy this one because it gives the most flexibility in regards to mic mix-and-match and its base sound is okay. However, Softube's emulation doesn't cut what I'd expect. Serious flaws with attacks and dynamics. Hopefully newer products will do it better.

JMP 2203 plug-in review
I think it's good for a plug-in. The only issue is I only have a pair of 15w near field monitors to play through. I remember my JCM 2000, which had four 12's in a cabinet (it responded to every nuance of my playing) and it moved a lot of air. As far as accurately reproducing that overall experience, the plug-in is okay but maybe I need to run it through better speakers? Sound quality for recording is good, probably the best as plugins go.

C'est du Marshall quoi!
Très bonne émulation du fameux 2203, par contre je préfère utiliser l'orignal car je peux placer mes micros comme je le souhaite.
Mais cette version est vraiment fidèle à l'original.

Nice amp !
I got this one for free registering my apollo Twin.
I'm more of a Vox guy but I find it easy to dial nice crunchy tones with this amp sim, you can also get quite a nice clean tone though it's not as "chimey" as the vox sound I'm used to. It reacts really well to pedals (tube screamer,rat, delay).
Overall I use it to record demos without having to setup my amp and sometimes to add overdubs with a different flavour. I sense it's a good plugin, it's just not the sound I'm looking for most of the times. I would love a VOX AC30 or 15 modeling by UAD §
I never used the original so I can't compare, but it does sound good in the mix and doesn't scream "amp simulation"
.
Realistic amp sound!!
I've used a lot of amp simulators, but the plug-in really felt like it was actually playing. It showed complete responsiveness from clean tones to drive tones, similar to the real thing and no longer had to struggle with mic in the studio. Make sure to buy other users home recording

My favorite Marshall amp, but please let Unison active at amp stanby!
I have bought this Amp after demoing it for all the 14 days, and I must say that I love this Marshall, this is my favorite one. Very edgy , brilliant and responsive. When I put the amp gain "at the sweet spot", guitar volume pot variation reacts the same like using a real amp. Incredible job done.
Not giving 5 stars (like the Marshall Legend bundle that I bought too), only because I hope you add Full Unison support like the Fender amp behaviour: Unison should stay on at amp bypass like on the Fender, instead of switching off .
If we put one instance bypassed in Unison slot and track the amp in stereo through the Aux channel, this could let the Unison technology pass thru and, at the same time, we could also benefit of the sweet stereo mics placement.

Marshall Jmp 2203
The best simulation who I heard, simple, very powerful, with incredible feeling!
I think 4 stars because there is a choosy frequency...I hope they'll fix it.

Very close to the real thing
I'm fortunate enough to own a real 2203 (it's a JCM800 Master Lead 2203...but it's the exact same circuit as the JMP). Very impressed. There are some very minute differences I notice, but this is an excellent, excellent model. Probably the best I've heard. If you have ever been near a 2203 in real life, you know that if you crank the volume and preamp on them you can probably hear them 11 miles away. They're INSANELY powerful. With this, you can do it all in the box on headphones and still get the same tone. It's awesome.

Nice sound
UAD and Softube work good together. I have heard this head in person all my life and I have to say it is damn close.
E. Gyger
Not bad
I think it, because, like most of these sort of plugins, the sound is stil a lot colder than a real amplifier, but the thing I don't like , is the fact that it's a lot more difficult to get a nice clear sound than distortion, really not fare to my opinion...,
But in this kind of plugin,it's the best one so far.....
Still a lot of progress to do!

Mostly happy
I am still learning to dial it in, and I don't actually know whether it sounds just like the original or not. I am happy with the sound it puts out, although I still need to learn how to dial it in.
That being said, it takes a HUGE amount of the DSP. I pretty much can't use it on my Twin unless I am happy having nothing else in the chain. If I want to use this, I need to use it on my QUAD.

Spot on
I owned a '78 Master Volume 2203 JMP, which I ran through a cab with G12T-75's (for a while). This simulation is spot on. The mic selections are exactly what I used also (except I didn't own a 251). I sold that amp a few years ago.
I haven't tried any pedals with the sim yet, but this amp was a great pedal platform. Just like the amp, this sim takes some EQ to take out some of the brightness (unless you're going for that), and add some low end.
T-75's are the period correct speakers, but I didn't love them with this amp and wish the sim had a different option. But it's spot on and very real sounding, and true to the original as billed.
