DSM & Humboldt Simplifier MkII: Can analogue still compete with IRs?

Straight outta Chile, this amp simulator can be seen as a highly advanced descendant of the old SansAmp GT2: keeping it analogue but offering the flexibility of multiple amp types and the ability to mix and match between them.
I reviewed the old Simplifier DLX for guitar.com and found it decent but a little flat-sounding compared to the Walrus ACS1 (see previous video). This, though, is a much improved proposition…
Stay tuned for a matching Strymon Iridium demo in a couple of weeks' time!
(Guitar is a Telecaster.)
