DSM & Humboldt Electronics Simplifier X

The DSM Simplifier X is the next generation of two-channel analog stereo preamp, poweramp and cab simulator in a compact pedal effect format. It represents the ideal choice for all guitarists who want to travel light without losing the warm analog sound and feel of traditional guitars.

Simplifier X offers a two-channel analog preamp with six guitar voicings that capture in minute detail the features and characteristics of the best and most popular preamps on the market. Amp A, labeled as Hot-Rod, features the voicings of the AC Brit TB, the modern American sound of the USA Rod and the properly hot higher gain sounds of the MS 800, Amp B features amp voicings familiar from previous versions of Simplifier pedals, i.e. the sound and feel of the British 15 watt classic AC Brit, the "tweedy" USA voicing and the rocking MS Brit.

The preamp can be used in three mods: a dual mono A/B Amp + A/B Cab mod, an A/B Amp + Stereo Cab mod, and a fully parallel mod that allows you to create a double-amp stereo rig. But that's far from all, the DSM Simplifier X offers the rich sound of integrated stereo reverb in three settings (Room, Plate, Ether), Aux in and headphone output for quiet and peaceful playback and practice in the late evening and night, Independent preamp and poweramp section controls for both channels (three-band EQ, Preamp Gain, Presence, Resonance, Power Drive, Master Level), stereo effects loop, cabsim section with Combo/Twin/Stack switch and Speaker Color control, stereo 6.3 mm jack outputs with cab simulation switches, and stereo XLR DI outputs. The included dual-channel footswitch can be used to switch between channels and activate the built-in reverb effect.

A 9-12V adapter (not included) is required for power.

DSM & Humboldt is a boutique guitar pedal effects manufacturer from Santiago, Chile that gained the attention of the global musician community almost immediately after the brand's founding in 2019. In the world of digital modeling technology, DSM & Humboldt has purposely taken the completely opposite path, proving that, for example, an amp-in-a-box pedal with cab simulation can be pure analog and sound damn good.
