Marshall JMP 2203

The quintessential rock amp.

A careful emulation of the legendary Marshall JMP 2203 from the Marshall museum​, the father of the JCM800, with the same character and the true sound of rock and hard rock

Cabinet speakers expertly recorded by acclaimed engineer/producer Tony Platt​

Amp Room Ready: works as a native plug-in and as a module in Amp Room, our pro audio guitar platform

The Marshall JMP 2203 was introduced in 1975. It quickly replaced the Plexi as the go-to Marshall amp and became the amp against which all other rock amps were compared. Artists who used it included Jeff Beck, Andy Summers, Tom Morello, AC/DC, Mötley Crüe, Judas Priest, Slayer, the Pixies, and more.

Marshall JMP 2203 is a super accurate plug-in version of the real thing, produced in partnership with Marshall from the reference 2203 amp that Marshall themselves use to define the true 2203 sound in the Marshall museum. The plug-in was component modeled down to the smallest details, resulting in flawless sound quality so you can let there be rock.

"In spite of being very much a “game changer” for rock guitar sounds, this amplifier is simple and direct. Always solid and punchy and crunchy, but letting the notes sing clear and loud. This plug-in recreates that unique and individual response the 2203 has—and it really does misbehave just like the real thing!"

Tony Platt Producer/Engineer (AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Foreigner)

"The original JMP 2203 was a hugely important amp for a number of reasons; the first master volume, the incredible bottom end and punchy mids, and paving the way for what was to be the JCM800. Tonally, every aspect of the museum piece has been meticulously recreated with this plug-in."
