The state-of-the-art in analog amp simulation
The Simplifier MK-II takes the analog amp simulation to a new stage of realism. Much more options, while keeping the instant touch and dynamics that only an all analog device can manage.
All, in the same ultra-compact footprint...
Even more?
Shortly after we unveiled the Simplifier Classic in September 2019, several other brands came up with very similar products; Nevertheless, the Simplifier sound held strongly, earning an amazing recognition great sales, reviews and powerful end users experiences.
So, what made us stand out from the rest? As our CTO Daniel Schwartz once said: We took the right choices.
With hard work, we decided to improve every aspect of the product and keep all the good things that made it so popular, to push it beyond being a pedal platform and mirroring the most realistic and versatile analog amp simulator till today.
Keeping the ultra conectivity
With a redesigned layout for an easy understanding and connectivity, will help you to keep your Simplifier as your pedalboard brain, better than ever.
Also, we included a brand-new heavy-duty all aluminum enclosure, with all metal switches for maximum endurance.
Pre-Amps to the limit
Completely redesigned preamps with wider gain options.
AC BRIT Preamp minimizes the MID Control range resulting on a more accurate historic behavior, like a VOX AC-30 64’ Top Boost channel.
American (USA) Preamp is now based on a true classic: The Bassman 59’.
MS Brit performs a new level of gain, just like a hot-rodded Marshall Plexi.
The Power Amp
A new dedicated power amp drive allows you to dial the perfect amount of power amp compression for that sweet-spot that only a tube amp can achieve. This controls sets a new level of realism engineered only by DSM Humboldt.
The POWER AMP is a highly detailed reproduction of a Class A/B power stage, including the phase inverter. Each power type reconfigures the feedback path, PI gain and the effect of the power transformer on the power tubes.
A Clip indicator shows when the emulated power tubes are clipping, helping you to find the desired sweet spot between power drive and preamp drive, as it would be on an actual tube amplifier.
In combination with the MASTER VOLUME, you can get any amount of pre and power amp drive at any volume level.
The Master Section
MASTER VOLUME allows you to set any amount of pre and power amp drive at any volume level, avoiding unwanted FX-LOOP distortion.
Re-designed PRESENCE Control within the power amp feedback. Clockwise it boosts the mid-highs like Marshall and Fender. Counterclockwise it cuts the Highs like a VOX amp.
Re-designed RESONANCE Control that allows you to set the low-end thump according to your PA system.
Stereo Cabsim
After a comprehensive research based on hundreds of response curves from the most renown speakers in the market, we completely redesigned the Cabsim section, replacing the MIC position control for a more useful yet intuitive three profile speakers control:
- BLACK: Based on the V30 Speaker.
- BLUE: Based on the Blue Alnico Speaker.
- GREEN: Based on the G12 Greenback Speaker.
Three Classic Cab types:
- COMBO (1x12” Blackface style Cab)
- TWIN (2x12” AC Style Cab)
- STACK (4x12” 1960 Style Cab)
A Built-In Reverb
According to many users, one of the most desired features on the OG Simplifier was a built-in reverb, or at least a room control.
This is why, we heard this call by loading our new Simplifier, with a side-chained digital PLATE reverb.
