The Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962 plug-in brings the iconic sound of the classic 2x12 combo amp used by Eric Clapton on the legendary 1966 Blues Breakers album into your digital studio. Developed by Softube and designed exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo audio interfaces, this plug-in faithfully recreates the revered tone of the original Marshall amp, capturing its rich, thick sound that helped redefine rock guitar. It offers multiple microphone configurations that allow producers and guitarists to craft pristine studio-quality amp tones with ease.

This plug-in was meticulously modeled using an original Series 1 1962 Marshall Bluesbreaker combo amp, complete with its alnico speakers, tremolo circuit, and KT66 power tubes. The result is an authentic emulation that goes beyond just replicating the classic blues-rock sound, providing a broad sonic palette ranging from sparkling clean tones to warm, overdriven textures suitable for a variety of musical styles including pop and country. Users can explore 50 expertly crafted presets by renowned producer and engineer Tony Platt, known for his work with AC/DC, or create custom tones using the plug-in’s flexible parameters.

With the integration of Unison technology on Apollo interfaces, guitarists experience true-to-life interaction between their instrument and the amp model, ensuring the feel and response of playing through a vintage Marshall Bluesbreaker. The plug-in’s channel strip offers detailed control over microphone placement, panning, EQ, and levels, enabling precise shaping of the amp’s character during recording or mixing. This makes the Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962 plug-in a powerful tool for achieving classic and contemporary guitar sounds with exceptional depth and realism.
