Overloud TH-U Made In Rock - Sioux 50 — Free Download

Purpose and Heritage

The TH-U Made In Rock Sioux 50 plugin captures the sound of a specific 1976 Marshall JMP 2104 Master Volume 2×12 combo, the very amplifier played by Siouxsie and the Banshees during tours and studio sessions from 1976 to 1981. This model features the original Master Volume 2204 circuit, which delivers notably more attack than later versions. It also has two inputs, unlike the four-input Lead and Bass models that preceded it.

The amplifier was later re-tolexed in red by Marshall. The plugin recreates the amp and its matched cabinet, fitted with two 12-inch Celestion G12-65 speakers. Using Fluid Capturing technology, the model faithfully reproduces the character of this historic amp, making it a precise tool for capturing that late-70s British rock tone.

Key Capabilities

Included is the SIOUX 50 amplifier model and the matched cabinet model that recreates the original 2×12 combo speakers. A bank of presets provides the sounds of the band’s most famous songs played through this amp. Additionally, the plugin offers 15 other models, including overdrives, modulation effects, reverbs, and a shimmer delay, giving you a complete signal chain.

The product works as both a standalone plugin and an expansion pack. If you already own TH-U, you can add these models to your existing setup. Alternatively, it can be used as a self-contained plugin with all TH-U editing features, such as the Rig Player, Amp Tweaks, Tuner, and Looper, so no pre-existing TH-U license is required.

Workflow

For daily use, you can load the SIOUX 50 model and its cabinet directly into your session, tweaking amp settings with the Amp Tweaks for subtle tonal adjustments. The preset bank serves as a starting point for recreating iconic songs, then you can swap the overdrives or modulation effects in the signal chain to shape your own sound. The Rig Player lets you explore different rig configurations without leaving the plugin.

The included tuner and looper are handy for practice and recording. Because the plugin includes a full set of editing tools, you can build custom chains from the amp plus effects. Whether you’re dialing in a live tone or laying down tracks, the workflow is straightforward: pick a preset, adjust the amp and effects, and play.

Practical Applications

This plugin suits guitarists seeking authentic late-70s British rock tone, especially fans of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Use it for songwriting, covers of that era, or adding a vintage edge to modern productions. The built-in effects and presets make it easy to capture that classic sound quickly, while the detailed amp model allows for deeper exploration of the amp’s character.

For live use, the standalone mode lets you run the plugin with a tuner and looper directly, avoiding the need for external gear. In the studio, the preset bank offers ready-made tones for recording, and the ability to tweak effects gives you flexibility. It’s a practical choice for any guitarist wanting a piece of rock history in their digital rig.
