Is it possible to use the MKII in a w/d/w set-up? If so, how?

Will it take a fuzz pedal?

A Klon clone, a Friedman BE OD, DS-1, MXR Stereo chorus, TC Flashback X2II, compressor, TC HOF II, looper. I think this is a deluxe start

@@daviddixon7326 Hi, David! Thanks for your message, great question. The DSM Humboldt Electronics Simplifier mk2 can be used to create a W/D/W rig, however it requires other gear to complete. You could for example output a signal from the effects send of the DSM to your time domain effects and then a BOSS IR200 to use as your “wet” and then the DSM takes care of the dry. You could also create a split prior to the DSM and send another signal to a similar amp sim. Multiple variations on the theme depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them! Robert Williams, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 2371, robert_williams@sweetwater.com

@@bgingras05 Hi, Brian. Yes, it can definitely be used with a fuzz pedal. At the end of the day, it’s a small solid state amp preamp so it’s not going to sound like Jimi’s Fuzzface into a cranked Marshall, but it does take all pedals (including fuzz) very well. Thanks for your interest! Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1320, charlie_davis@sweetwater.com

I did see him wear the same one twice though. 😛😁

It's a prerequisite of PRS ownership.

😂

He got them on sale at Dan Flash's. The patterns are so complex!

Nah, Don Carr has an Amazon warehouse full of gig shirts.

Sounds muffled.

@@BkBk-gy6vr it sounds like a real amp. You can change the clarity anyway by messing with presence and mic placement on the cab knob. You might think it sounds muffled if you've only played digital amps.

Nah

Saludos rodrigo!!

Explain

Yes explain?

I'm replacing the Helix amp & cab with this unit 4cm with stereo effects blocks after. Two different amps left & right. Gives me more of a 'real amp vibe' more than the stock amps & cabs.

Why are you watching this

@@trahnettilhcs knowledge....

The easy solution here would've been just relying on the footswitch to change channels, with pedals to achieve the desired sound on those channels.

@@CCovers1 And, that's exactly what I did. Buttons & knobs get moved in transport & pedalboard manipulation. For me, it did not work. For others & their scenarios, it does.

It's an in a pedal format. Placing it on the pedal board wouldn't make sense or desired for it. I'd have it on a small amp board latched on a mic stand next to me. That way I can control the knobs at arm length. Use this at church.

Newbie question, what's next in the chain after a simplifier? As it is an amp sim, I guess an amp is not what's next 🤔

it already has switchable amps,

Hi, Michael! In my experience, the DLX model is still an upgrade over the MK2 due to its expanded features. The Simplifier MKI does not feature reverb, where both the MK2 and the DLX do. That said, one cool feature that the MK2 has that the DLX does not have is the dedicated power amp gain control. That extra controllable gain stage offers another level of tone tweaking. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1766, cody_kraus@sweetwater.com

Yes, but only in mono. So you'd at least be able to have one cab on stage.

FRFR

My guess would be just going direct in to the PA and if you are running stereo, you can use the second line for a powered reference cab with you. That’s what I’d do at least.

Hey, John Carlo! Great question. From the manual and their other documentation, it doesn’t look to be possible, at least it’s not something that they mention for this version of the simplifier. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Connor Smith, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1793, connor_smith@sweetwater.com

Just headphones. Not outputs.

I bought them from Sweetwater too!

You can plug the line out jack into the FX return of your amp, just remember to turn the cab sim off for that output.

Hello - great question! You could use it with a combo amp as sort of a boost/EQ/overdrive, although the cabinet simulation would not be ideal for that application. I would probably just plug it straight into the main input as opposed to the FX loop, but you could try both and see what sounds better. Thanks!

Completely agree. Nasty digital distortion, but nice clean sound. Where's the analog sound they claim? Nothing as nice that I hear nearly as nice as a good stock Fender Deluxe, Twin Reverb, Marshall, MESA, or VOX. And the "reverb" sounds like chorus to me, a tired effect to my mind, where reverb and delay are always useful.

You don’t. It’s analog, like an amp

@@Docksidestudio1 Most modern amps have channels and foot switches. Not much utility in a pedal that offers so many different parameters that can’t be changed on the fly.

@@crsantin yeh true. This is essentially a single channel amp. There will be a deluxe version following soon after which will probably be 2 channel (as the current deluxe one is)

This is designed for direct applications, as direct into a p.a. or digital recording unit. This is a 2 channel device. One channel is clean, the other slightly more pushed in it's gain structure to allow it to be used for an overdrive/solo channel.

It probably was, and works exceptionally well. I've had mine for nearly 2 years and I still do not need to upgrade.

Yes, basically... Even if you ran it into the fx loop. Still amp on amp.

@@MaTTheWish so how would i remove the deluxe reverb from the signal chain to only hear the pedal?

@@LysanderLH I'm in the same boat. I think maybe it is not made specifically for that application. I've done a ton of research. It seems like this is mostly for working musicians who need to go direct into a computer DAW or front of the house at a live event. You would probably get a nice sound if you ran it into a basic sound of your amp. Maybe the Marshall setting on the pedal will take over the sound. IDK

@@MaTTheWish I think the Fender Tonemaster should have a way of bypassing the amp itself, while using only the speaker for this reason. Maybe there is a way to do that but I haven’t yet found it.

@@LysanderLH maybe they bypass through fx loops, if yours doesn't have one maybe you can modify it? Sorry man, I have similar issues and the simplifier, it really didn't work for me. Honestly I think your best bet is get some Marshall style or AC30 style pedal and just run it right in the front of the amp., my guess is it will sound great with you nice amp. Good luck . Wish I could be more of help , I'm far from expert.

Yep

I sure hope not!

Yes and no, you can use it both before an amp or without one. You can choose to have a DI channel and an amp channel, forgo the simplifier via the 'thru' effect. Many combinations.

Full guitar rig tone using just one pedal's worth of space on a pedalboard. You know how bass players use sans-amps to run direct (with or without a rig)? This is that, taken to the next level, for guitar players. But with full amp and cab controls like you're used to and it feels and sounds like a real tube amp while you're playing.

Clearly you do not own an Origin Revival drive.

It is complicated because it SIMPLYFIES a compete amp, and 3 at that with 3 cabs, a full stack worth of it but with 3 types of them, microphones and someone changing positions on the fly and everything doubled because it's stereo! Also you got a DI box. So yes, it is complicated 😂

😆😅😂🤣

I can tell you’re trying to be funny. But you ended up sounding transphobic. Making trans jokes is the most hacky premise its been done, and done , and done. And it was never funny

Tranny dck will get as hard as yours when playing this!!
