Mercuriall Spark Kicks Ass So Far

[lll]

Based off a recommendation by someone here in some long-forgotten thread.

I'm a Marshall guy 99% (1% is Boogie 2c++ / III Coliseum Sykes Tone)

I have BIAS & BIAS 2. I can get good, usable tones out of them.

I just got this, so haven't had time to check everything out.

So far, the JCM800 model is fucking incredible. Captures the grind, clang and extended highs (if you keep them dialed in).

So much so that I'm posting about the plugin prematurely.

I'll play more with it and do some clips in time. This is a VST but also a standalone app.

So, hats off and raise a glass to the mystery dude who posted the tip.

I tried a LOT of digital Marshalls and Mecuriall Spark is hands down the most fun.
It's the closest to playing the real thing as you'll get imo.

Spark is the best Marshall plugin out there. It can be CPU intensive if you run multiple tracks though.

I've been fiddling with it a lot and I'm still having a blast.

I've got a NOS Mullard loaded UA 2-610 as my preamp (then into DAW), and I've got things tweaked so the amps actually feel "juicy" / "greasy".

These Mercuriall guys are geniuses.

These Mercuriall guys are geniuses.

I have Spark, Euphoria (Bogner XTC), and ReAxis (Boogie TriAxis) and all three are superb.
Just like with Spark, play either of the other two and you'll get the same familiar vibe and feel.

I have the Euphoria and it is great. Had a guitarist I was tracking choose it over several miced up heads last week.
Fun to play
