About this plugin
Softube's latest offering models the Marshall Super Bass 100W that defined Lemmy Kilmister's tone - a bass amplifier that paradoxically became a cornerstone of rock guitar sound. The plugin captures the amp's circuit behavior alongside the rare cabinet configuration used throughout Motörhead's career, with measurements taken directly from the original hardware by longtime producer Cameron Webb.
What emerges is a tool with genuine character. The Super Bass architecture delivers a thick, compressed midrange that sits assertively in a mix, combined with harmonic saturation that builds naturally as you push the preamp. For bass players, it provides the kind of weight and sustain typically associated with tube amplification, while guitarists will find a uniquely colored aggression - less high-end sparkle than a traditional rock amp, more focused punch in the 2-4kHz range.

The cabinet modeling here proves crucial to the overall sound signature. Rather than generic speaker simulation, the specific cab setup contributes a particular coloration that distinguishes Murder One from standard Marshall emulations. The plugin includes both standard and Amp Room versions, offering flexibility in workflow integration.
Softube's modeling credentials are well-established, and this implementation reflects their methodical approach. The result suits anyone seeking authentic heavy rock and punk textures - from bass players wanting tube-amp compression without the weight to guitarists exploring the rarer corners of amplifier design. It's a specialized tool rather than a universal workhorse, but executed with the precision that discerning engineers expect from the company's collaborations.
