NEW Demonfx SIM-AMP Simplifier Bass Station | Preamp Simulator, Power Amp SIM, Stereo Cab SIM & DI Out for Electric Bass

BASS STATION

Based on DSM & Humboldt SIMPLIFIER BASS STATION

THE ULTIMATE BASS PLATFORM

The Ultimate Bass Platform

The new Demonfx SIM-AMP SIMPLIFIER BASS STATION is everything you ever needed to go direct to the FOH or recording amazing bass tones without sacrificing anything.

It includes a Bass Preamp with gain, level, and a 3 band EQ with semi-parametric mid control. A parallel signal routing with a selectable LPF, dual FX loop (for preamp and parallel signal), and an amazing analog cabinet simulation, based on the acclaimed Omnicabsim ® by DSM Noisemaker.

VERSATILE PREAMP STAGE

Versatile Preamp Stage

The preamp stage is based on the Ampeg SVT ®. This amp stands out for it’s personality, versatility and articulation. Including its flexible EQ with +- 15dB per band, and the switchable midrange from 400-900-1200Hz.

Across most of the gain settings, the amp is tight and clear. But with higher gains, it will grunt and growl like a real Ampeg SVT does.

A PARALLEL UNIVERSE

A parallel Universe

The SIMPLIFIER BASS STATION separates the signal at the input for a parallel line, bypassing the preamp, and including a switchable low pass filter (100Hz, Off, 500Hz). The effect of blending this clean signal with the preamp tone let’s you overdrive the preamp while retaining a huge low end response and natural dynamics.

CABINET SIMULATION

Cabinet Simulation

The Cabinet simulation was carefully designed to get the most distinctive cabinet tones. A Closed Back 8x10, with its tight and punchy lows. A vented 1x15 for warm creamy mids and thick lows, and a vented 4x10 for more open, wider range response.

The Speaker color switch, Warm, Bright and Modern, simulates the different materials and geometry of bass speakers, which affects the dynamics and midrange response.

And with the Resonance and Mic position controls, you can adjust the exact amount of high end brightness and the cabinet low end resonance you want.

Powering Up:

Before powering up the unit, turn down the receiving device (PA, interface, headphones,

etc) in order to avoid power up “pop”.

The best way to power up the Simplifier, is to use a 9V REGULATED DC adapter, make

sure you are using a clean voltage source and you are not daisy chaining the power

supply with high current digital units.

Recommended Power supply:

● The Power supply specs should be:

● 9V to 12V DC voltage

● Regulated (designed for low noise, musical instruments use)

● 80 mA minimum current rating. You can use higher current rating supplies.

● Center negative.

* Do NOT use center positive supplies, it may damage the unit and it will not be

covered by warranty. Please make sure the polarity is correct before powering up.

Connections

● Input Jack: Connect the bass here.

● Parallel FX Send: The parallel fx send output comes from the input, before the

preamp. Put the effects you want to use with the “clean” signal chain here.

● Parallel FX Return: Return from the “clean” signal chain effects.

● Preamp FX Send: The preamp FX send comes after the preamp. Put the effects

for the preamp side chain here.

● Preamp FX Return: Return from the “preamp” signal chain effects.

● TRS Out: Carries the main output (preamp + parallel blend) or the input signal

(bypass), if selected.

● DI OUT: Carries the Main output (preamp + parallel blend) in a balanced signal.

● DI PARALLEL: Carries only the parallel signal chain (including the fx loop and

LPF)

● Aux In: The auxiliary input receives a signal from an mp3 player, phone, or any

audio device, and sends the signal in stereo to the headphone out. The aux signal

will not sound through the regular outputs. Perfect for monitoring or late night

practice.

● Headphone out: Connect your headphones here.Controls and Switches:

Preamp Section:

Gain: Sets the gain of the preamp. It will produce a sweet SVT overdrive if set above

70%.

Level: Sets the preamp master volume level.

Mid Select: Selects between 400Hz, 900Hz or 1500Hz for the mid control.

High: Controls the high frequency band, +- 15dB @ 3.5kHz , shelving.

Mids: Controls the mid band, -+ 15dB, bandpass, frequency according to the mid freq

switch.

Lows: Controls the low end frequencies, +- 15dB @ 80Hz, shelving.

Blend Section:

After the preamp, the signal from the parallel signal chain (which bypasses the preamp

and has its own fx loop) can be blended back into the main signal. Also, the Cabinet

Simulation can be blended in or out, for different textures and low end responses.

Preamp Blend: Blends the preamp signal and the parallel signal into the main signal.

Start with this control at 100% and then blend in the parallel signal until you get the

desired mix.

Cabsim Blend: Blends the Cabsim in and out of the main signal.

Parallel LPF: 3 way toggle switch that enables a 2-pole LPF affecting the parallel signal.

response of classic tube types:

100Hz: Deep low end preserved, and any harmonic content is filtered out.

OFF: LPF disabled.

500Hz: Deep low end, and low-mids preserved in the parallel signal chain.

Cabsim:

MIC POSITION: Controls that responds like a real CENTER/OFF AXIS microphone

position adjusting the precise amount of high-end roll off you look for. As usual with real

mics and speakers, placing the MIC outside the center works best for distorted tones,

and cleans sound best near the center.

Cab Size Switch:

4x10 Vented: A modern standard with extended flat low end response and bright

drivers.

8x10 Sealed : Huge sounding resonant low end cabinet with modern speakers.

1x15 Vented : Warm and well rounded, with extended low end, but the highs are

creamier and less piercing.
