I got a Simplifier MKII a few months back. I've done about 10 gigs with it and it's done everything I need. It's also awesome for at-home practicing. I've decided to commit to it for a whole year. That oughtta be around 50-100 shows. If anybody is interested, I'll report back here and let y'all know how it went :)

Great video. You've nailed what I think a lot of people miss when they complain about this pedal and a perceived lack of functionality or 'options'. No, it doesn't simulate a thousand different amps and effects at the touch of a button. That's not what it's meant for. It's not an amp modeler, it's literally an amp, one amp, in a box. It's meant to be a pure analog replacement of your tube amp with all the feel of the original, so that you can keep your whole setup, still use your pedals etc. And I think it does that job exceptionally well.

I recently tried several different modelers and this is the unit I ended up getting. It feels like I'm using a real amp, and the feel is incredibly important. Some of the other modelers sound great but it just doesn't feel right, so I don't enjoy it as much. With the Simplifier, plus some fx, I literally can set it and play for days and be a happy camper.

[ArvidNielsen]

Loved the sound and feel of the unit, I had. Sold it, simply because I struggled to read the labeling, even with reading glasses on (yup, it’s come to that) 😳

[Lcschleich]

I’ve been using the mk1 and now the mk2 for about a year now. It’s great for a portable practice solution and for church. I never hardly use my Mesa Fillmore anymore. That being said, you opened my eyes to a few new ways to get sounds on here. Thanks for this!

[zazoomatt]

I got nothing but the will to learn. Thanks Corey for This !

[christopherhinton]

Thank you for this demonstration. I have been looking at modellers and amp simulators on and off for quite a while now (and getting a bit confused and unsure what to purchase - yes I am also someone who does not want to fiddle around with lots of different amps and programmed effects) so what you said about it being primarily a unit for setting to a base tone you like and then add pedals to obtain the additional desired sounds/effects, I was really able to identify that this is what I am looking for. So thanks again for this clear and informative video. Cheers.

Awesome review and great recap of what this pedal's goal is: a simple analog amp!

I have the MKII since it came out, and after trying out the CabM+ or the HX Stomp, what i love about this white box is that it's simple: what you see is what you get! As you suggest, it's a set and forget amp, fine-tune the base tone you like and then use it as a pedal platform. You are at a gig and need some quick tweakings, just twist a few knobs, it's super easy.

And all those connectivity options (DI, bypass cab sim, routing...) makes this a great swiss army knife, use it at home for recording, play live directly in a PA, or send your sound to your tube amp and the PA at the same time... it's that easy!

Subbed @Corey 🙂

[Boost_n_Roost]

I have the 1st version and have used it for playing live direct. It's good to have as a backup for your amp too.

[blayneb]

Great review Corey. LOVE that this has Eminence speaker modeling on it! Everything has Celestions but I just love the Eminence sound, so nice to see that option here. With true amp feel, knobs and no menus to have to fiddle with, gonna have to strongly consider this (damn!) 😅

[erifkind]

I love this thing. But I have never owned a tube amp or any modular amp components. So when it comes to the power amp simulator, I don’t really mess with it because I don’t know what I am listening for. Other than that, it is basically a perfect tool for me.

[aminahmed]

What a fantastic video have a wonderful happy holiday season also I had a cold this week Corey ❤😊

[riksplace]

Maybe the best pedal I ever sold (ver 1). Definitely wished I hadn't. Just has best sounds all out of 1 box. Need nothing but a power amp and speakers with this.

[joelstevegokool]

Sounds pretty good. (Listened with studio headphones on.) Aesthetically pleasing effect(s) not harsh or tinny.

[scottshand]

You may have said this and I didn't catch it but what speaker/monitor are you running this into? Thank you for a really informative video! I've been using a TC Electronic Combo Deluxe 65 and have tried a Universal Audio Dream 65, both do well for my current playing but this may be something I try also. Thanks again Corey!

[josepantojaguitar]

I love mine, is very versatile, easy to use and it sounds great.

[EnJoony]

This has more bells and whistles but Tech 21 has been doing analog "modeling" for years with their SansAmp Character series of pedals.

[NJSonye]

I’m going have to try one. I’ve tried various units, and have found the technology great. I still come to the point of having to program them when a couple of knobs twist is all that’s needed. Reckon I’ll check one out. I may not need 127 program/presets.

Have you tried this with cabsim bypassed into the Ox Stomp?
