*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.
