Simplifier DLX Amp/Cab Sim : A versatile and quality device, made with care

3 years ago

18 knobs +18 switches... and it's called Simplifier?

Don't be fooled by the overwhelming number of knobs and switches. It's simply two guitar preamps in one box. If you've played with guitar amps, effects loops, and cabinets, you're already familiar with all the parameters you can tweak.

Signal routing: best among competition

This is where I had to spend a few minutes playing with the options. The routing possibilities this unit offers are astounding: single/dual/stereo channels combined with dual/stereo effects loop options and all the outputs you need to connect your amp or stage monitor and PA at the same time. It covers any signal configuration in both the stage and at home.

Excellent sound quality

You will notice this even before you learn how to properly operate the unit. It's not complicated to make it sound good. Unlike other similar solutions, there are no "sweet spots" you have to find to get the right sound. No. It sounds good with almost any combination, because all those knobs are there to help you "build" your sound. And because it's full analog, you can forget about latency issues. Well, the reverb module is digital, but works in parallel so there are no latency issues here. Plus, it's also really good.

Great pedal. I've been using it for 5 months and it hasn't let me down in the slightest.
