This is a moment to celebrate another milestone for us.

Since our begining, we are here, to explore and bring you new universes of sounds.

After creating the amazing Simplifier, we decided to challenge ourselves again, beyond any limits. Evolv-
ing, to something we believe is the epitome of the ultimate musicians tool.

Because sailing in unknown waters, is what defines the human nature, today, we are coming back from
that journey to present you, the Simplifier DLX.

Reach out this exceptional creation, and begin to surf a sea of sonic possibilities
Because analog will stand

Jano Acevedo
CEO & Founder

After 15 years of work the Simplifier Deluxe offers the world's finest
all analog 0 wt dual channel amp, with cab simulator, multi-stage reverb, and ultimate connectivity
options.

With this device, we want to bring musicians, endless boutique sound possibilities, flexibility and
extreme portability.

The SIMPLIFIER DLX, also carries an ultra connectivity platform. As an example, you can use it as a
2-channel stereo amplifier, or 2-parallel amplifiers for a full stereo signal chain.

You can even connect 2 guitars at the same time, each with its own amp and fx loop.

INPUT & INPUT MODE

The Simplifier DLX features a Stereo TRS input jack with mono and stereo modes.

For standard input mode, set the INPUT MODE switch to MONO. In this mode, only the
TIP of the plug is considered and sent to both preamps, as a regular amp.

Input Mode
For dual input, set the INPUT MODE switch to Stereo. This will enable the RING signal
and route the Tip to Preamp A, and Ring to Preamp B.

NOTE: Use this mode with channel A selected. If the channel is switched to B, both
signals will mix into channel B.
 ROUTING OPTIONS: INPUT

MONO INPUT, TWO-CHANNEL STEREO AMP

EXAMPLE APPLICATION

CHANNEL A

MONO CHANNEL B

To use it as a typical 2-channel amp with a mono input,

set the panel switches as follows:

NOTE: If using the FX loop in stereo

(using a TRS for the SEND signal) the
RING will have channel B only, and the TIP
side will select A or B.
 MONO INPUT, PARALLEL AMPS
EXAMPLE APPLICATION

MONO

In this configuration, you can use a mono input, and each preamp channel will
be routed to each AMP side, resulting in a stereo parallel amplifier.

Select Channel A (red light) for this configuration.

You will have channel A on the Right side, and Channel B on the left side.

NOTE: This configuration works only if the FX loop is

empty. Use a stereo FX LOOP routing (Stereo TRS
send, R+L returns) to get parallel amps if using
effects on the loop.
NOTE 2: If the preamp channel is switched to B, both
sides will have channel B preamp signal.
 FULL PARALLEL AMPS
EXAMPLE APPLICATION

STEREO FX
tape dly RIGHT
MONO DELAY

LEFT

In this configuration, you can use a stereo input, from a stereo effect,
different drives per each channel, or even 2 different guitars to play a duo.
Select Channel A (red light) for this configuration.
Use a Y cable (*compliment Y cable included) to connect both signals.
The TIP will go to Channel A, and Ring to Channel B.

NOTE: Use a stereo FX LOOP routing

(Stereo TRS send, R+L returns) to get
parallel amps if using effects on the loop.
NOTE 2: If the preamp channel is
switched to B, both sides will have chan-
nel B preamp signal. Both inputs will be
mixed into channel B.
PREAMP MODULES

The Simplifier DLX features two state of the art, low noise, and ultra versatile pre-
amps that go from ultra clean “American” style up to fire-breather “MS Brit” hi-gain
chunk.

Both channels are very similar but no equal. Channel A (“PUSHED”) adds the
asymmetric clipping typical of tube phase splitters, adding extra harmonic complexi-
ty and more aggressive feel at high gain, great for lead solos and pyrotechnical
rhythm styles.

Channel B (NORMAL) is sweeter and rounder, best for clean to high gain rhythm
work without too much sizzle.

At low-mid gains, both channels behave identically.

Each channel features the following controls:

GAIN MODE
Selects the following gain modes:

CLEAN The lowest gain, higher headroom mode. It behaves just like the original
amps stock, where some gain cranking results in pleasant compression and over-
drive.

CRUNCH Mid gain with some extra grit, like a boosted amp.

LEAD Focused High gain like hot-rodded amps.

GAIN KNOB: Sets the gain/overdrive of the channel. While on LEAD mode, the last
10% of the turn adds a mid boost.
The Gain range is very large on all modes, even on Lead mode, you can get a clean
tone if turned down enough.
AMP TYPE
Selects the following Amp Types:

AC BRIT: Classic AC30 sparkly and three-dimensional sound. A true British

heritage since the 60's.

AMERICAN: Classic blackface deluxe sound. Sweet and dynamic with a bal-
anced response. By far the most used amp on studio recordings.

MS BRIT: Classic clean-to-crunch vintage Plexi style amp. The sound that
defined rock music.

TONE STACK ( TREBLE - MID - BASS )

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.

LEVEL
Sets the volume level of the respective Channel.
 FX LOOP

The Simplifier DLX features a stereo effects loop with multiple options, enabling to
bypass each preamp, or selecting Parallel mode or 2 Channel mode when nothing is
connected to the Left return input.

FX SEND
The FX send is a TRS jack (STEREO), where the TIP comes from Preamp A or B
(whichever is active by channel switching), and RING comes from Preamp B only. You
can use a mono cable for 2-channel preamp use, or stereo cable for full stereo parallel
setup.

PREAMP BYPASS SWITCHES

You can Bypass each preamp at the FX send point by using the mini switches under
the jack. You can use these switches if you want to use an external preamp. *Bypass-
ing the Preamps without a proper PreAmp may result in very bad tone. We recom-
mend to keep it always in preamp position.

FX RETURN R
The FX Return R jack is the input for the Right channel Reverb, Power Amp and Cabi-
net Simulator path.

FX RETURN L
The FX Return L jack is the input for the Right channel Reverb, Power Amp and Cabi-
net Simulator path.

2 CHANNEL AMP/ PARALLEL AMPS SWITCH

If nothing is connected into the Return L jack, you can select “2 channel mode”, where
the signal is taken from the Channel switching output, or “Parallel mode”, where is
taken from Channel B.
- Use “2 Channel” mode if you want to use the Simplifier DLX as a 2-channel amp with
stereo power amps.
- Use “Parallel” mode if you want to use a true stereo signal path, or 2 amp models in
parallel.

NOTE: If a plug is connected to the Return Left jack, this switch will be defeated.
 REVERB
The Simplifier DLX integrates a stereo digital
reverb with mix control for each side, and 3
modes of reverb:

ROOM: Short and warm decay that recreates

the natural sound reflections of a ballroom.

ETHER: Very long and Spatial reverb. Con-

ceibed for ambience design purposes, this
reverb is a perfect companion from open
clean chords to heavily distorted “shoegaze”
tones.

PLATE: Mid length decay that recreates the

natural sound reflections of a small venue.
