3 classic PREAMPs, full featured POWERAMP simulator + Stereo CABSIM
Integrate your pedalboard adding full stereo routing directly to a PA System, Amps, Audio Interfaces or anyting you need with its 4 simultaneous outputs (2 x XLR, 2 x 1/4 bypasseable outs), stereo effects loop, headphones out and aux in.
MAIN FEATURES:
3 CLASSIC PREAMP
Simplifier features a 100% true analog preamp that recreates with obsessive detail the most useful and popular clean channel preamps in the market
AC BRIT/AMERICAN/MS BRIT
GENUINE PASSIVE PREAMP TONE STACK
A key part of a tube amp sound and response is the tone stack behavior. The tone stack on the Simplifier is a genuine configurable three band classic amplifier topology, keeping the same feel, response and interaction of the original amp.
POWER AMP SIM
This stage is an accurate approximation of the interaction between the power tubes, output transformer and global feedback, which produces a particular frequency response for different tubes and speakers.
STEREO CABSIM
Tweakable Cabinet simulator that takes the heritage and experience of ©DSM Noisemaker developing the most useful and innovative cabsims of the market.
SPREAD CONTROL
This unique feature allows you to create a pseudo stereo imaging, by shifting the phase of one channel on selected key frequencies. It will make your sound bigger and 3 dimensional, even if you are using a mono configuration.
This spread is useful to get that "dual Cab" sound with realistic physical separation, very useful for recording on a stereo track, or playing with headphones.
UNLIMITED ROUTING FEATURING:
STEREO EFFECTS LOOP
Connect your drive/comp/pitch effects section to the input preamp, then send your signal to your favorite stereo effects as delays and ambient reverbs and take advantage of a true stereo signal routing connecting through the return jacks that sends the signal to POWER AMP SIM and STEREO CABINET, Just like if you are using two amps!
4 SIMULTANEOUS OUT + HEADPHONES/AUX IN
2 Balanced XLR + 2 Bypasseable 1/4 plug outs allows you to send your signal up to 4 different devices. SIMPLIFIER is ideal to any environment as recording sesions with both, real amps and sound interfaces or just to have fun practicing with full stereo regulable headphones out and a very useful AUX input to connect your phone, tablet, computer or any audio device.

⭐️ Maple and Ash Top on Mahogany Body
The combination of maple and ash top on a mahogany body ensures a great balance between warm yet full sounding lows and bright and transparent highs, not to mention beautiful wood grain of ash top on non-painted areas for a more natural organic aesthetic.
⭐️ Fishman® Fluence Modern Humbucker
Original and totally re-imagined, Fishman Fluence pickups are free from the hum, noise and frustrating inductance issues that plague even the most coveted wire wound pickups— revealing pure, uncorrupted and musical tone.
⭐️ Multi Scale (24.75″-25.5″) Frets
The multi-scale length conforms to how your hand moves up and down the neck so that your wrists and fingers naturally follow the layout of the frets as you move from the low to the high register of the fingerboard. For X700 Mutility, the neutral fret (the center of the spread of the frets) starts at the zero fret.
⭐️ Roasted Maple Neck & Fingerboard
By treating the Maple wood in an oxygen-free oven at a high temperature, the wood stabilizes and develops a golden-brownish look for enhanced stability as well as a more vintage look and big bolder tone.
