I MADE A MISTAKE

[@jarrodhroberson]

This is how you earn respect in what you do, through humble reflection and transparent sincere honesty. This is what everyone expects based on your reputation. Good example fir the rest of the world.

[@DamienTheCat]

Humble?

[@AndorMatus]

The Simplifier Classic is the most dynamic from Simplifier family and sounds amazing.

[@arnaudstegle5034]

Even if the unit you had was working well and you didn't liked it, we always accept you being honest. You wouldn't have to make excuses.

[@K3150]

Many people, myself included have complained that the simplified DLX effects loop has a feedback that makes it self oscillate with certain reverb pedals and delay pedals. I contacted their support about it to try and figure it out with them and they stopped responding. Outside of this issue it’s pretty cool. Super disappointed they have not addressed the issue.

[@EytschPi42]

Ok, that is not cool

[@K3150]

There is a few threads on Reddit where a some people had this issue. One of them had their sweetwater rep test a few of the demo models that they had in stock and all of them exhibited the behavior. An empress employee also chimed into the thread saying that they have ran into this issue with several customers trying to use the DLX. Despite this I still loved the sound and the way it responded to my dirt pedals. I just want to warn people that if you are trying to run big reverbs and delays in the effects loop, this probably isn't a good pedal for you.@@EytschPi42

[@coupe-lee]

That’s really odd. That would mean that your delays and reverbs are then routed back to the input signal in order for them to self oscillate. If you’re getting some other kind of noise, make sure that the reverbs/delays having issues are meant for line level. If they are for line level signal, make sure that the setting for line level is selected. The Timeline for instance can be either, but you’re supposed to select the option for line level or instrument level depending on your setup.

[@K3150]

@@coupe-leeif I send a signal directly into the return and I plug the send into a speaker or headphones I can hear it faintly coming out of the send. The issue is the return signal bleeds back into the send. It’s not a problem typically except when there is a delay or a reverb with a sufficiently long tail in the effects loop.

[@coupe-lee]

@@K3150 yeah, I said that would be weird if that was the case, and it certainly is! That’s really bad that they aren’t addressing it. That’s definitely worth getting a replacement.

[@waitin4winter]

I respect your honesty. I remember watching that video you did on the simplifier and feeling like you hadn’t quite given it a fair chance. Because when I had gotten my simplifier and first tried it in the bedroom, I also had a lukewarm initial impression and, like you, felt that it sounded quite “DI-ish”. But after gigging live with it a couple times running into the PA at gig volume I was completely sold on it. It felt great, it sounded great, and it worked great as a pedal platform. Got the mkii and it’s even better. But again I respect that when you don’t like something, you say it. In the end it’s all subjective anyway and everyone oughta try things for themselves to truly know.

[@6MileHouse]

Love your channel. It's one thing to compare tone (which is very subjective) and features. This new unit (Simplifier DLX) kills most of the pedal sized modelers even at its price, as far as features go. Stereo XLR out along with stereo 1/4 inch out (that can have the speaker sim shut off). The ability two run two amps parallel or switch between two amps in stereo. Has stereo effects loop as well. Built in reverb and cab simulation. It's all analog, minus the Reverb I believe. Three different amp styles AC, American or British, with three different gain selections of clean, crunch or lead. Each have independent tone controls. You can select each amp to use different tube simulation of 6L6, KT88 or EL34's. The feature set was well thought out. Many other companies never think out of the box to make their product compatible with any guitar rig. I just hope it sounds good as well.

[@ThierryLacan]

The DSM & Humboldt Simplifier MKII is much better than the first version anyway, even if it didn't leave my pedalboard, until the new MKII took its place

[@ThierryLacan]

I can't wait to see your mkII test ! 😉😎

[@EvilBlakey]

I love my OmniCabSimDeluxe! And Daniel seems like a genuinely nice guy, that makes me happy

[@muttonjeff105]

I have owned two simplifier deluxes purchased about 1 year apart. I noticed that the input gain levels on the second one i purchased were WAY higher and i had to rebaseline the gain at the desk. Dont know if there was a design tweak after the first run...... Both sounded great still though.

[@timpo9341]

@@liedgitarrist A Chilean man named Doug Castro founded both Neural DSP and Darkglass. I don't know why he is running things in Finland. The only reason I can figure out is that he needed a team of competent engineers which could be more easy to find here

[@RobertFisher1969]

All I need is enough of an amp & cab sim to allow me to use my pedals without an amp & cab. If you want more from an amp & cab sim…for it to be a big part of the sound…then it might not be for you. And in my case, the Simplifier is the only product in the category I’ve seen that includes everything that I want in one box. Effects loop, DI, headphone out, etc. It seems like everyone else leaves out at least one important element that then means you have to buy one or two other boxes for a complete solution to giving your pedalboard all the outs of a multi-fx unit from decades ago.

[@robdavies9478]

Agreed, Simplifier has an unbeatable feature set and form factor.

[@PooNinja]

Amazing videography , beautifully smooth zooming.

Try again with a different unit… TWSS Thats the bear that chased me away from GS5!!! He looks way bigger in person!

[@StudioChimiel]

You tell him Val!

[@thomassteiger7169]

I had the same thought as he told Henning were they are from, Val 😀

[@nedim_guitar]

I had the first version Simplifier, it was sounding DI and it didn't take dirt pedals well. Overdrive, distortion and fuzz sounded like farts. Maybe my Simplifier was also crap.

[@sinfonia.oculta]

Great form factor and feat of engineering etc, but also had the same experience. And the EQ knobs did not do much either, nor did the different "tube" switch. As HP said originally, just a good - albeit intrincate - DI box, but nowhere near the Iridium etc. (

[@nedim_guitar]

@@sinfonia.oculta I bought the Boss IR-200 after I sold the Simplifier. It's digital, but sounds great! It's not perfect though... I'm not very happy about most of the amp models, but it's good enough...

[@sillyness3456]

Simplified DLX is awesome! Will not leave my board!

[@jhaneyzz]

Same for me. it is amazing... and a perfect solution for home practice/jamming at night with headphones. even has line in.

[@CharlieFader]

That’s the first generation, right? There’s no Simplifier II Deluxe?

[@jhaneyzz]

@@CharlieFader Correct.

[@jhaneyzz]

The only strange thing with the DLX is, when you are using it with headphones, the cab sim, power amp sim and reverb level are separated left and right. it's a bit difficult to describe unless you're familiar with the unit, but: even though I'm only playing through the top pre amp, any changes to the lower set of controls that apply to that pre-amp only affect the sound in my LEFT ear. if you dial up the reverb, you have to do it for both ears. and I assume if you have wildly different basic settings for the two channels, it will sound pretty funky in your headset. I leave both of my power amp and cab sim settings the same so it isn't a big issue for me.

[@CharlieFader]

@@jhaneyzz I guess that happens because headphones are always stereo?

[@shorerocks]

Funny how the mind works. I also (without ever looking it up) simply thought DSM Humboldt is kind of central European. I really know nothing.

[@JimboLodisC]

450 euro is a steal, compare that to the new Friedman IR-X

[@officialWWM]

Those things sound complicated!

[@zachmoney7952]

So does this mean you’ll do a new video comparing Simplifer DX to UA and other pedals?

[@EytschPi42]

I‘ll review the Simplifier MKII, but not compared to other pedals. It’s not a fair comparison.

[@velutumbra]

Impressive, since nowadays no one retracts anything unless they are under a shitstorm. +500XP points for the video, +50 for yet another ridiculous shirt.

[@joerojas5448]

Henning, a little factoid fa ya! During WWII, some Germans went to South American. Mainly to Argentina ,but some to other parts of South America. Even some Koreans.

There were Germans in Chile at the end of the 19 century.

I was really hoping he was going to ask if the DLX is getting the MKII treatment. You'd think for a guy that starts the video by talking about how many gear demos he's done he'd be keyed into that. I guess if you don't pay for products it might not cross your mind?
