DSM Humboldt Simplifier Deluxe guitar Amp and Cab simulator

Preamps

The Simplifier DLX features two state of the art, low noise, and ultra versatile preamps that go from ultra clean “American” style up to fire-breather “MS Brit” hi-gain chunk. Both channels are very similar but no equal.

Channel A (“PUSHED”) adds the asymmetric clipping typical of tube phase splitters, adding extra harmonic complexity and more aggressive feel at high gain, great for lead solos and pyrotechnical rhythm styles.

Channel B (NORMAL) is sweeter and rounder, best for clean to high gain rhythm work without too much sizzle. At low-mid gains, both channels behave identically. Each channel features the following controls:

GAIN MODE Selects the following gain modes:

CLEAN The lowest gain, higher headroom mode. It behaves just like the original amps stock, where some gain cranking results in pleasant compression and overdrive.

CRUNCH Mid gain with some extra grit, like a boosted amp. L

EAD Focused High gain like hot-rodded amps.

GAIN KNOB: Sets the gain/overdrive of the channel. While on LEAD mode, the last 10% of the turn adds a mid boost. The Gain range is very large on all modes, even on Lead mode, you can get a clean tone if turned down enough.

Amp types

AC BRIT: Classic AC30 sparkly and three-dimensional sound. A true British heritage since the 60's.

AMERICAN: Classic blackface deluxe sound. Sweet and dynamic with a balanced response. By far the most used amp on studio recordings.

MS BRIT: Classic clean-to-crunch vintage Plexi style amp. The sound that defined rock music.

TONE STACK ( TREBLE - MID - BASS ) A key part of a tube amp sound and response is the tone stack behavior. The tone stack on the Simplifier is a genuine configurable three band classic amplifier topology, keeping the same feel, response and interaction of the original amp.

LEVEL Sets the volume level of the respective Channel.

Reverb

The Simplifier DLX integrates a stereo digital reverb with mix control for each side, and 3 modes of reverb:

ROOM: Short and warm decay that recreates the natural sound reflections of a ballroom.

ETHER: Very long and Spatial reverb. Conceibed for ambience design purposes, this reverb is a perfect companion from open clean chords to heavily distorted “shoegaze” tones.

PLATE: Mid length decay that recreates the natural sound reflections of a small venue.

Power amp simulator

This stage is an accurate approximation of the interaction between the power tubes,output transformer and global feedback, which produces a particular frequency response for different tubes and speakers.

This stage can be tailored by PRESENCE and RESONANCE controls, and select between 6L6, EL34 and KT88 power TUBES response.

Cabinet simulator

Tweakable Cabinet simulator that takes the heritage and experience of ©DSM Noisemaker developing the most useful and innovative cabsims of the market. You can easily dial two independent cabinet simulators panned LEFT - RIGHT with MIC POSITION controls that respond as a real CENTER/OFF AXIS microphone position adjusting the precise amount of high-end roll off you look for.

A 3-way toggle switch allows you to choose independent CAB STYLE for each side. 1x12 Combo, 2x12 or big 4x12 cabinet simulations that you can combine with any of the 3 preamps per channel, adding an extra dimension to your sound development.

Headphone amp

The unit includes a powerful 135mW stereo headphone amplifier with stereo AUX input, for those silent late night practice sessions, or even in-ear monitoring. The Amplifier works best with Headphones between 32 and 96 Ohms.

Footswitch

The Simplifier DLX includes a footswitch input to control the channel selection and Reverb on/off status. This Footswitch is compatible with TRS channel controllers (as found in many pedal switchers). The Tip controls the Channel selection, and Ring controls the Reverb. * For your convenience, we’ve included a TRS 3.5mm cable to operate footswitch (Only available on Bundle format).
