Product Overview
The DSM & Humboldt Simplifier DLX, an evolution of the original Simplifier, is a compact stereo analog preamp and cab sim unit. It offers the versatility of two independent amps, allowing precise channel control or running diverse tones in parallel. Triad amp tones are driven by each channel, now with a 3-way Mode switch for saturation and dynamics control. Cab sim, 3-way reverb, power tube emulation, and Resonance/Presence controls are configurable per amp path. Its pedalboard-friendly design accommodates overdrives, delays, and reverbs. The Simplifier DLX also provides headphone, aux, FX pass-through, XLR outputs, and a Spread switch for stereo effects. It's ideal for traditional players and those opting for a portable amp solution.
