New Bogren Digital plugins: Ampknob BDM Bundle
- Thread starter TheTrueZoltan!
- Start date
I wasn’t particularly interested in their Recto/5150 one knob plugins, but this set of amps has caught my attention. It kind of makes sense for a Marshall-type amp that doesn’t have a huge range in terms of EQ. I have to admit the metal panel aesthetics are appealing.
It looks like the BDM 75 is hinting that it’s the Marshall that was used by Refused.

Without a boost it’s probably not going to get you there

You'll have to wait a couple decades. Drop me a reminder.

I really enjoy the plugins, and made also a demo (shill, shill!) and compared it against the JVM as well. It comes pretty close!
I am currently anyways knee-deep in the Marshall Tonehunt (got a TSL100 for repair here, got the JVM JS as a long time loaner and still in the honey-moon phase with my JVM410H), so this amp just hit home at the right time!

I am going to try and see if I can match these now that Fractal has updated the JVM
For the Bad Boy , Euge says
JCM800 w 6550 tubes
Boss SD 1 in front , he says it’s modded w a 150 watt transformer that you can’t turn master up past 6 or the tubes melt not sure how to emulate that any ideas @MirrorProfiles
JVM mode 3 I am guessing is the orange mode 2 pedal is a screamer

I matched the old JVM Model fairly close by cranking, those settings should still work aside from adjusting the treble and presence a bit.
2203 should be easy, I don’t think his sounds particularly different besides where the gain kicks in, which is just going to be a case of fiddling around with input level and bright cap. I have a 2204 that gets gainy quick like that too
Maybe play with power tubes, bias and B+ voltage a bit but I bet you can get close without having to do much.
The Super Lead is the one i’m most curious about, I’d love to know more about that specific amp and what mods were done to it.

The 75 apparently was owned by Swedish punk band the Refused
The Marshall he says he had was an early 800 heavily modded
I wonder if it was the 2204
IIRC that was the last one to use the plexi stack before the 800 it was late 70s
I think the model in the Axe Cliff said uses that plexi stack not the 800 so maybe start there ?

The “Plexi” 2204 is the first year of production 50W’s, they don’t have cascaded channels and aren’t very popular. Lots of people have modded them to the standard cascaded 2204 that came after.
That refused amp looks like a 4 input one rather than a 2203 or 2204, guessing it’s been modded to some kind of 2203/jose/cascaded gain stage mod as it seems more 800 ish than plexi to me

Playing with the bundle trial today - sounds really good!
Plexi is harmonically rich and and juicy AF; Bad Boy sounds like the best JCM ever.
Currently the bundle is on sale (as are the individual amps) and the prices are extremely attractive. Gonna pick this up.

I'm always looking for a good Marshall plugin because inexplicably lots of companies seem to fuck them up somehow.
Didn't think that a plugin that dials the amp in for you could work for me at all, but I must admit these are really good!
Using my own IR I am digging the sounds from all three of these amps, but the Plexi and 800 are the standouts.

Gotta be some irony in that the Plexi and 800 are two that aren’t stock amps.
I like the Plexi and JVM best, I’d love to know what the mods are to the super lead. The 800 was a bit unremarkable to me, but that’s probably just down to there being so many out there that I think do a great job. Euge is great (and maybe I’m the minority here) but I feel like his attachment to that amp is mostly sentimental.

Very much agree with this.
That said, I tried his go-to settings on the JCM800 Modified 2203 and liked them a lot, especially when the amp was flipped into the ODI mode.
