Presenting the all new DSM & Humboldt Simplifier MK-II, a fully analog Zero Watt Amplifier and Cabinet Simulator.
Carrying forward from the incredible success of the original Simplifier, the new Simplifier MK-II takes the analog amp simulation to a new stage of realism. Many more options, while keeping the instant touch and dynamics that only an all analog device can manage. All, in the same ultra compact footprint...
The Simplifier MKII is an all analog, zero-watt guitar amplifier with stereo reverb, fully packedwith routing and tone sculpting options. These features include: - Preamp with 3 amp types (MS Brit, USA, and AC Brit).
- Stereo FX loop Return.
- Stereo Reverb.
- Power amp simulation with Power amp Type, Power amp Drive, presence and resonance.
- Cabinet simulation with cab type and Speaker color for each channel.
- Two Balanced DI outs with ground lift.
- Powerful headphone amplifier with volume control and aux input.
The Simplifier MK-II features a redesigned layout for an easy understanding and connectivity, making it the cornerstone of your pedalboard rig. The MK-II also features a brand new heavy- duty all aluminium enclosure, with all metal switches for maximum endurance.
What's new in the MK-II?
Completely redesigned preamps with wider gain range and extremely dynamic behavior combined with the Power Amp drive control, and a new Speaker type knob.
Additionally, according to feedback from users of the original, one of the most desired features on the original Simplifier was a built in reverb, or at least a room control. The new Simplifier MK-II adds a side- chained digital PLATE reverb.
Preamp Section
The Simplifier MKII features a state of the art, low noise, and ultra versatile preamp that reproduces the character of 3 of the most iconic classic amplifiers.
Gain Knob
Sets the gain/overdrive of the preamp. It ranges from very clean (below noon), up to mid/high gain at full throttle.
Combine this gain with the power amp gain to achieve the desired level of compression and drive.
PreAmp Type
Selects the following Amp Types:- AC BRIT: Classic AC30 top boost sparkly and three-dimensional sound, bridging the normal and bright channel. A true British heritage since the 60's
- USA: Classic Bassman tones. Sweet and dynamic with a balanced response. By far the most used amp on studio recordings
- MS BRIT: Classic clean-to-crunch vintage plexi style amp with bridged hi/lo inputs. The sound that defined rock music.
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.
NOTE: On the AC BRIT type preamp, the MID control is disabled (as the original amp does not have a mid control)
Power Amp Section
The Power amp section models the behavior of a true push-pull all tube amp, including the compression, clipping, bias drift and variable frequency response that makes Tube power amps so special. The Power amp type selector now changes the whole topology of each power amp, changing the tube type, bias and feedback characteristics of each model.
Power Drive Knob
The power amp drive allows you to dial the perfect amount of power amp compression for that sweet-spot that only a tube amp can achieve. A Clip indicator will visually show when the virtual power tubes start clipping, helping you find the perfect balance between pre and power amp gain.

- WEIGHT: 360 grs (0,8 lb)
Dimensions: 120 x 70 x 45 mm (4,7 x 2,7 x 1,8 inches)
Power supply requirements:
Voltage: 9 to 12V DC regulated
Connector: 2.1mm DC jack, Center negative
Current consumption: 150mA
Recommended supply current: 200mA and up
Outputs
Right and Left Balanced DI outputs: Low Impedance (150 Ohms) XLR outputs for left and right signals, with Ground Lift. Theseoutputs carry the final output with cabsim always ON. NOTE: The DI outs can withstand phantom power voltage without damage, but it will affect the quality of the sound, mainly causing low-end distortion and/or lack of bass frequencies. Make sure to have Phantom Power Off before using the unit.
Right ¼” Unbalanced out: Unbalanced TS output for right signal. You can Bypass the cabinet simulation for the Right side with the “Cabsim Bypass” switch. If Cabsim is Bypassed, the signal will include Preamp + FX loop + Reverb stages.
Left ¼” Unbalanced: Unbalanced TS output for Left signal. You can Bypass the whole device with the “Through” switch. If “Through” is selected, the signal will be taken from the input and buffered.
Input Impedance:
Input: 1Meg Ohm
L & R return: 1Meg Ohm
Output impedance:
Send: 1K Ohm
Unbalanced Outputs: 4.7K Ohms
Balanced Outputs: 100 Ohms
Headphone amp specs:
Power: 135mW into 32 Ohms.
* Use with 16, 32, 64 and 96 Ohm Headphones.
* Loss of power can occur with higher impedance headphones.
