The team at Mercuriall have just released the Spark, a VST/AU/AAX plugin that models four Marshall tube amplifiers, four cabs, four overdrive pedals and a set of the most common spatial effects.

It looks pretty kick-ass.

Amps include emulations of:

• Marshall AFD (four channels)
• Marshall JCM 800 (two channels)
• Marshall JMP Super Lead (two channels) with Master Mod
• Marshall JMP Super Bass (two channels) with Master Mod 
• Tubes: 12AX7 RCA, 12AX7 RSD; 6L6GC, EL34

Cabinets include emulations of:

• Bogner Uberkab 412 – 4×12 Celestion G12T-75
• Bogner Uberkab 412 – 4×12 Celestion V30s
• Marshall 1960B – 4×12 Greenback
• Marshall 1960B – 4×12 JBL K120 (vintage)
• Microphones: Shure SM57, Sennheiser MD441, Royer R121

Pedals and effects include:

• Noise Gate
• Overdrive based on Ibanez TS-808
• Overdrive based on Ibanez TS-808 Lower Drive Mod
• Overdrive based on Ibanez TS-7 Hot
• Overdrive based MESA/BOOGIE Grid Slammer
• Stereo Chorus
• Stereo Delay
• Stereo Reverb

“Spark is the realization of all our latest achievements in the field of real-time electric circuits modeling. First of all, it’s a tube push-pull power amplifier that is working with a reactive load (guitar cabinet), with negative feedback and electric feed chains. This allowed us to implement a truly realistic poweramp saturation (very important for the majority of the Marshall-based amps), realistic work of the Presence knob and made possible to take into account the influence of the output and power transformers.”

FEATURES:

• Electronic circuits of amps and pedals are modeled with our custom technology using Neural Networks
• Pedals, preamp and power amp are working within the same oversampling cycle. Thus, there is no latency build-up and no additional losses when using several anti-aliasing filters
• Realistic and smooth positioning of up to two microphones simultaneously
• Several preamp and power amp tubes to choose from
• Stereo-mode: right and left channels are modeled independently. This mode is useful for processing stereo signals. For example, a panned double tracked guitar
• Delay and reverb can be used in parallel to get a more expressive effect without extra routing
• Plugin supports CPU multi-threading

Available as VST/AU/AAX.

The list price is usually $120, but they’re offering an introductory offer of just $99 for a limited time. (Free limited demo available).
