Description

The DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII is a compact, all analogue, zero watt stereo amplifier and cabinet simulator designed for guitarists seeking authentic amp tones without the bulk of traditional gear. Building upon the success of the original DSM Humboldt Simplifier, the MKII introduces enhanced features, offering a versatile solution for live performances, studio sessions, and silent practice.

Sonically, the DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII delivers the character of three iconic amplifiers: the 'AC Brit' emulates the chime and sparkle of a '64 Vox AC30 Top Boost; the 'USA' captures the warmth and clarity of a '59 Fender Bassman; and the 'MS Brit' channels the punch and drive of a hot rodded Marshall Plexi. These preamps, combined with a detailed power amp simulation, provide a dynamic and responsive playing experience, allowing guitarists to achieve tones ranging from clean to overdriven with ease.

Playing through the DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII feels intuitive and expressive. The responsive controls and dynamic range make it easy to dial in the desired tone, whether you're aiming for subtle nuances or aggressive drive. The inclusion of a stereo plate reverb adds depth and ambiance, enhancing the overall playing experience.

The DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII features a comprehensive set of controls, including a three band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble), Presence, Resonance, Gain, Power Drive, and Master Volume. These controls allow for precise tonal shaping, accommodating various playing styles and genres. The redesigned cabinet simulation offers three cabinet types (1x12 Combo, 2x12 Twin, and 4x12 Stack) and three speaker profiles (Black, Blue, Green), enabling users to tailor their sound to specific preferences.

At the heart of the DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII is its all analogue circuitry, which ensures a natural and organic tone. The power amp simulation accurately replicates the behaviour of Class A/B amplifiers, including the phase inverter and feedback characteristics. A clip indicator provides visual feedback when the emulated power tubes are clipping, assisting in achieving the desired level of saturation.

Constructed with a robust all metal enclosure, the DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII is built to withstand the rigours of touring and regular use. The layout is designed for practicality, with top mounted jacks and clearly labelled controls, facilitating easy integration into any pedalboard setup.

Visually, the DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII maintains a clean and professional aesthetic, with intuitive graphics that make navigation straightforward. The LED indicators provide clear status updates, ensuring users are always informed of the pedal's operation.

The DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII includes LED indicators for power and clipping, offering real time feedback during use. These indicators are particularly useful during live performances, allowing for quick adjustments on the fly.

Equipped with a true bypass circuit, the DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII preserves the integrity of your signal when the pedal is disengaged, ensuring no unwanted coloration or loss of tone.

The placement of the input, output, and DC jacks on the top of the unit allows for efficient cable management, keeping your pedalboard tidy and organised. This thoughtful design consideration enhances the overall usability of the pedal.

DSM Humboldt offer a warranty for the Simplifier MKII, providing users with confidence in the product's reliability and support in the unlikely event of any issues.

In summary, the DSM Humboldt Simplifier MKII stands out as a versatile and practical tool for guitarists seeking authentic amp tones in a compact format. Its combination of classic amp emulations, detailed power amp simulation, and comprehensive control set makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from live performances to studio recording and silent practice. The robust construction and thoughtful design ensure it will be a reliable component of any guitarist's rig.
