The DSM & Humboldt Simplifier Deluxe is one of the most comprehensive "amp-in-a-box" pedals we've ever seen! Boasting a myriad of impressive features, all contained within a small enclosure that's easy to mount onto your pedalboard or place on a desk, the Simplifier Deluxe is the ultimate all-in-one portable amplifier for guitarists who seek versatile, all-analogue tones.
Described as "a new breakthrough in the guitar world" by DSM & Humboldt, the innovative Simplifier Deluxe is a zero-watt, dual-channel stereo amp with realistic cabinet emulation technology and even a built-in multi-stage reverb. Almost endless connectivity options make the Simplifier Deluxe adaptable for any type of rig, while an included external footswitch lets you effortlessly take control of the unit's most critical live-performance functions
Unlike many modern amp modellers that feature deep menus and fragile displays, the DSM & Humboldt Simplifier Deluxe comes with a concise selection of easy-to-adjust knobs and switches that allow you to make simple, on-the-fly tonal tweaks whenever inspiration strikes.
Each of the Simplifier Deluxe's two independent channels can be directly controlled via their own dedicated 3-band EQ sections, 'gain' and 'level' dials, and flexible 'amp'-type and 'mode' switches. The 'resonance' and 'presence' knobs let you carefully tailor their lows and highs too, while the 'tube' and 'cab' emulation switches enable you to fine-tune your tones to absolute perfection. You can even change the virtual microphone position on your favourite cab setting!
The DSM & Humboldt Simplifier Deluxe's enviable array of inputs and outputs make it easy to integrate into any setup. Use it as a two-channel stereo amplifier, or run two amplifiers together in parallel for a rich-sounding and fully-immersive stereo signal chain. You can even plug two guitars into the Simplifier Deluxe at the same time — each with its own amplifier and FX loop!
Here's a breakdown of the Simplifier Deluxe's inputs and outputs:
Simplifier Deluxe's two studio-grade preamps are capable of accurately modelling a number of iconic and coveted amplifier tones. Each channel sports:
Channel A recreates a cranked amplifier with phase-splitter saturation, producing an ultra-responsive range of dynamic distortion characteristics. This channel is therefore ideal for aggressive and expressive playing styles.
Channel B models the same amps as Channel A, but possesses a warmer and rounder response that's perfect for sweet cleans and blues crunch — all the way up to heavy, sagging rhythm guitar sounds.
DSM & Humboldt's feature-packed Simplifier Deluxe also includes a lush, built-in stereo reverb effect (with mix controls for each channel). This is chained parallel to the analogue signal path of the dual amp channels. The three reverb modes let you embellish your amp tones with just the right amount of ambience:
