Wow, man! I just spent an hour playing with

in MusE's plugin rack.
Silly me! I missed a piece of the puzzle. The C* Cabinet plugins.
I was supposed to put a cabinet after the amp.
Sounds even better now!
It now approaches the type of sound that the JCM900 vst gives.
Until now I have mostly been using SimulAnalog's famous JCM900 VST
dll plugin under dssi-vst. (I do wish they would open-source those
plugs!)
Aha, it's for free :), http://www.simulanalog.org/GSuite.zip, until now
I didn't use VSTs when recording with Linux, but the web says, this VST
should be awesome,

I have not tried their other plugins in the suite yet, but the following
statement probably applies to them as well:
That JCM900 vst is by far the most absolutely mind-blowingly realistic
recreation of a Marshall amp *ever*. Most people agree.
It is *THE* standard by which *all* other plugins are judged, commercial
or free!
That must be a real good plugin then because most people agree also that
the JCM900 is the worst amp of the JCM series (except for the SLX
edition) and some even argue it's one of the worst Marshall standard
tube-amps ever made ;) Glad I sold mine years ago. But you got me
curious as I don't use VST's either.
Best,
Jeremy
*lol* Regarding to the real amp the 900 is known as a bad amp by German
80ies Punk-Rock musicians, for the newer Marshall amps with a master
volume the 800er is the most widespread amp here, some older Marshalls
without master volume still are preferred ;). I only own transistor amps
that anyway do sound better than the plugins I know. So any plugin that
would sound like a 900er is welcome, even if I should need a Vox AC 30
sound for some songs ;). Perhaps the plugin's name is intended, to cause
more realistic hopes ;). I don't expect any plugin to emulate a real
stack and btw. even 800er amps manufactured at the same day often do
sound different. Anyway, I guess an amp simulation should simulate the
sound produced by an amp, that was recorded by microphones, I don't
think that today we can expect a simulation of real amps.
