Mr Jose Amp Simulator: 1987 Marshall Plexy Mod Tone for Rock Guitar

Mr Jose Amp Simulator: Vintage 1987 Marshall Plexy Head Recreation

Mr Jose is a virtual amp simulator inspired by the iconic 1987 Marshall Plexy head, featuring modifications made by electronics engineer Jose Arredondo. Known as the Amp Guru, Jose Arredondo modified guitar amplifiers in the 1980s for legendary guitarists such as Eddie Van Halen, Slash, James Hetfield, and Steve Vai. This plugin aims to faithfully recreate the hot-rodded tone of those classic modded amps.

Key Features and Controls

The plugin offers a vintage-inspired user interface that is simple and intuitive. Players have immediate access to essential tone-shaping controls including Bass, Middle, Treble, dual Gain stages, Volume, and Master settings. A unique “Jose On” switch activates the famous modded sound, pushing the amp simulation into a heavier, more saturated territory. This makes it ideal for producing both 1980s rock tones and modern high-gain sounds.

Sound and Usability

Mr Jose is designed to be highly musical and easy to use. It excels at delivering a range of tones from classic crunch to fully saturated solos. Guitarists seeking iconic high-gain sounds will find this amp simulator a valuable tool for their productions. The plugin is available for free, making it accessible for musicians and producers looking to add vintage Marshall Plexy-inspired tones to their setup.
