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. Developed by Brainworx, the Ampeg SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp plug-in perfectly captures the raw power and punch that has made this the go-to amp for rock, funk, and soul players. Track in real time using Unison™ preamp technology for the tone, touch, and feel of a real SVT bass amp, or transform bland DI tracks with the thunderous roar of a stone cold classic.

Powerful and intuitive, Precision Mix Rack Collection gives you an impressive tool set — perfect for beginners and seasoned professionals alike.

And with Unison™ technology, you can plug in to Apollo Twin, 8, or 8p’s front-panel Hi-Z instrument jack and experience the same circuit interaction, gain range, and clip points for the true tone, feel, and response of the original hardware.

Producer-Class audio interface, with a BUT...
I love the quality of the product, well-specified interfaces, robust construction, and thought-through console UI.
However, the one thing that surprised and disappointed me was that, unlike other software/driver installers that 'ASK' if you wish to download demo plugins, when you install the software and drivers for Apollo Twin-X, you get the whole darn lot, and the sole reason for my 4/5 rating.
It's then necessary to first browse all that's demo or not in the Console app, then play around either moving/deleting DLLs or going through the trudge of manually hiding the swathes of unwanted demo plug-ins in your DAW (etc) to avoid being overwhelmed with what is and isn't licensed/owned.
I sincerely hope and trust this will be addressed in an up-coming installer, lest more unwanted bloat should be unwittingly added to the 'demo' list and be waved-in to the DAW on a future update.
It's the sort of bloat we've all come to recognise and expect from the likes of mobile phone manufacturers/suppliers, but this level of commercialisation was certainly unexpected for a professional product.
PLEASE provide a check-box on the installer to afford customers the option of installing 'demo' plug-ins. Thank you.t. müller
