Test the demo before buying...
This is the first UAD plugin that I'm actually not happy with. I bought it for a killer price but took nearly 30 minutes til I got a tone I thought was worth using. Even then I wasn't happy. It sounded dusty, dark and muddy. By no means is it a 1 star sound but definately not a 5 star sound. I think if you're looking to get this, download a demo before buying, I sure wish I did.

This amplifier sounds terrible
If you want to play with gain through this amp, you’ll be disappointed. On the third string, you’ll get an unwanted overtone, like an inaccurate octave pedal. Listen closely, and you’ll hear that unpleasant resonance. I do not recommend buying this plugin. It sounds awful.

Sounds nothing like the UA demo
This plugin is not fit for purpose. As A. Siegler commented, "What you hear on the UA site and what you actually get are two different things." The tonal balance is so bottom-heavy that even with extreme EQ adjustment it is unusable. There is not one single preset that sounds like a decent DI, let alone the mic'd presets which sound like they were recorded in a tunnel. I will gladly uninstall/deactivate this plugin in exchange for a refund, but I'm not holding my breath. Until UA offers a 14-day trial on all of its products I will not be buying any more Apollo/Unison amp sims.

This has been great for tracking quick demos with a lot of flava. The sound manipulation with the different mics is excellent. Lot of different tones available here. Worth it, for sure.
T. Hodson
Yep
Sounds great! Throaty and doesn’t get mushy on the low notes. Yay! Partners well with 1073 pre/eq.

Deep rich sounds
Love this plug in, really warm and rich. Takes single coils very well, have to do some tweaking with Humbuckers but sits so well in a mix. Wish I bought it sooner!

Increíble
He tenido uno y la emulación es muy buena
K. Péter
Pretty good
nice, not harsh, many optioms for the mic placement, really useful tool. The result strongly depends on the quality of the input hardware. Mine is RNDI, so the result is really good. Only con is the big dsp usage .

Bluesy tones
Good but it takes some time to find the brightness of the sound.
J. Williams
Great value! Great Blues Tones!
Unlike U2 I have finally found what I’m looking for. The tones one can achieve with this plugin range from sweet blues to dirty and super clean with loud and fat tones. The clean presets are my favorites and I use these everyday for practicing and recording.

Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962
I'm so disappointed with this plug-in. Got a good price on this plug-in, however, the amp sounds and the presets are all muddy and distorted. Played with it for hours and never got a good clean sound. What you hear on the UA site and what you actually get are two different things. I bought this plug-in based upon what I heard on the Demo site. Maybe I'm missing something. Same thing with the 57 Fender Amp.

Simply one of the best virtual amps I've ever heard.

Clapton, eat your heart out.
Who am i kidding but with this amp plugin its like owning the real deal amp. I can find the sounds i like, usually clean with mild breakup and I am happy.

What's up with this one?
I don't like to give bad reviews. Usually someone gives a bad review when they expected something unrealistic and it didn't happen for them. I really like UA products but I'd like to know what processing they use in their videos. Almost every preset for this plugin sounds muddy and dark. I've even gone online to the video and tried to match the settings on the screen to my setup with the same type of guitar. I can get close but mine still doesn't sound as bright. I've owned and used real Marshalls and most of the time they're brighter than you need. With this plugin, even if you crank the treble and presence, and lower the bass, it's still too dark. The Marshall sound is there, but it sounds like there's a piece of foam stuck in front of the speaker. There's plenty of stellar reviews from people, so once again, maybe I'm missing something...

Great Amp!
Look like real amp! Very beautiful to use!

Another Softube wonder!
Very well made plugin, close to the original Bluesbreaker tone… If you’re looking to add “woman tone” to your arsenal, look no further!
