Mercuriall Tube Amp Ultra 530 v1.1

Description

Tube Amp Ultra 530 VST/AU/AAX plug-in (briefly U530) based on the popular sound studio preamp ENGL® E530, having a wide range of tone. On this basis, you can customize the sound of the powerful hi-gain to bright crunch and crystal clean tone. We hope that many musicians will use U530 in its arsenal.

Modeling

No waveshapers, and EQ. We use only clean solution of nonlinear differential equations for the most realistic simulation. Tube Amp Ultra 530 (U530) is full circuit simulation of E530 preamp. Furthermore, the U530 has additional features. Simulation of three 12ax7 dual triode models. From old RCA triode to fresh RSD. Allowed processing samplerates at 44.1 48 88.2 96 Khz. Two computing engines make same things but in different way. Fast computing engine based on usage Artificial Neural Networks to approximate nonlinearity of solution nonlinear differential equations. Precision computing engine - for just-in-time solution of nonlinear differential equation at circuit simulation.

Preamplifier section is modeled so accurately that it is impossible to distinguish the sound of U530 and E530. Here are the reasons under which the U530 is better than the E530:

E530

• It occupies a place in the rack and require proper wire connection to the analog audio interface.
• To record multiple tracks you need more than one E530.
• Transistor poweramp section without controlling.
• Two-positional contour switch
• Coarse cabinet simulation by filtering. No position control and cabinet changing.
• It is not possible to quickly change the tubes.
• The level of the signal coming from the guitar is insufficient to unleash the potential of the Clean Lo channel.

U530

• No loss of quality due to analog-digital conversion when re-amping.
• You can use more than one instance of U530 at same time. Allowed number of U530 instances depends on your CPU performance.
• Class A poweramp section with Precence and Master controls. Master control can be used for extra warm up your sound.
• Three-positional contour switch. Added position for modeling tonestack of tube toner E430.
• Three-positional contour switch. Added position for modeling tonestack of tube toner E430.
• You can quickly switch to one of the 3 models of tube.
• To unlock the potential of the Clean Lo channel has a boost mode (Lo Clean Boost switch) that raises the level of the input signal in 2 times (only for Clean Lo channel).

Preamp section

4 channels, Clean, Crunch, Soft Lead, Heavy Lead, 3 band EQ for Clean/Crunch, 4 band EQ for Soft/Heavy Lead, separate channel volumes, preamp defeat switch, Bright switch, Contour switch.

Poweramp section

Class-A Tube Amplifier based on pentode 6V6 with feedback loop and Presence control. Poweramp section take into account cabinet resonance properties. If Cabinet simulation switched off, poweramp section operates in neutral mode witch make you possibilities to use your own impulse responses captured with coloring of poweramp tubes.

Cabinet section

Cabinet simulation based on impulse responses of eight famous guitar cabinets. Precision 2D positioning of microphone. It is based on:

• Bogner® Uberkab 412
• Marshall® 1960A
• Marshall® 1960B
• MESABOOGIE® 4X12 RECTIFIER
• HIWATT® SE4123F
• Bogner® 212C
• Vox® AC30
• Fender® Tweed Deluxe
