Classic analogue amp-inspired tones
The Simplifier X combines two independent analogue amplifier sections loaded with tones inspired by some of the most respected valve amps in guitar history. Amp B delivers vintage-inspired sounds with AC Brit for AC15-style chime, USA for Bassman-style warmth, and MS Brit for classic Plexi crunch. Amp A expands the range with AC Brit TB for AC30 Top Boost sparkle, USA Rod for hot-rodded American gain tones, and MS800 for focused JCM800-inspired punch. Together, they cover clean, edge-of-breakup, classic rock, and driven modern sounds with convincing amp-like response.
True stereo rig flexibility
The Simplifier X is designed to behave like a genuine dual-amp stereo setup rather than a standard stereo pedal. True stereo inputs and outputs allow independent left and right processing for wider, more immersive rigs with excellent depth and separation. Three operating modes let you switch between dual mono amplifier setups, stereo cabinet configurations, or full parallel dual-amp operation. This flexibility makes it easy to build expansive stereo sounds, blend contrasting amp styles, or create detailed direct rigs without relying on external splitters or complicated switching systems.
Built for modern ampless setups
The Simplifier X includes extensive connectivity for direct recording, live performance, and pedalboard integration. Dual FX sends and returns allow separate effects chains for each side of the rig, while dual XLR DI outputs provide clean direct feeds for front of house, stage monitoring, or studio recording. A dedicated THRU output supports separate dry amp paths, and the 1/4-inch outputs include cabinet simulation bypass options for flexible integration with traditional amplifiers or external speaker simulation systems.
Simple control with stereo ambience
Despite its deep feature set, the Simplifier X keeps operation straightforward with dedicated physical controls and no menu diving. The built-in stereo reverb section adds spacious ambience directly from the pedal, with Short, Mid, and Long modes covering room-style reflections, plate-style depth, and larger atmospheric textures. Combined with its rugged anodised aluminium enclosure, low power consumption, and compact footprint, the Simplifier X is built for players who want professional stereo amp tones in a practical pedalboard format.
