Marshall JMP 2203
Developed by Softube and exclusive to the UAD platform, this emulates the Marshall JMP 2203 100-watt amp. Expect crunch and power.

- Five essential virtual microphone options
- Over 50 presets designed by legendary AC/DC engineer Tony Platt
Sonnox Oxford Envolution
Already available as a VST/AU/AAX plugin, Envolution is a frequency-dependent envelope shaper that can add presence/distance to drums, piano, guitar and any other percussive content. There are transient and sustain sections; the theory is that you can get greater control of presence in a mix than when using an EQ or compressor.
- Comprehensive control of key shaping parameters including attack, hold, and release
- Separate and frequency dependent control of transients and sustain
- Tilt/parametric targeting of frequencies
- Huge gain ranges: Transients ±24 dB; Sustain -48 dB to +24 db
- Warmth control for harmonic saturation/tone shaping
Brainworx bx_digital V3 EQ Plug-In Collection
An update to the bx_digital V2 EQ plugin, version 3 adds a dynamic EQ section, revised filters and a proportional Q mode.
- Precise Mid/Side mastering processor and EQ with expanded feature set
- Comprehensive controls for stereo and Mid/Side panorama, levels, and stereo width
- EQ features extended frequency range, proportional Q bandwidth, and Auto-solo function for critical listening application
- Revamped Dynamic EQ/De-esser section
- Gain Scale feature for artifact-free alternative to Dry / Wet processing
