Kuassa announces: Amplifikation Caliburn
Hi Guys, Kuassa just released a new amp sim inspired by Marshall Amps and using the 3rd generation of our circuit modeling technology, so we are confident to say that this is our best amp yet. :D It was a long process of fine tuning and analyzing the circuits. As you know me on the forums, I'm amp sims die hard - addicted fan. With my experience over 20 years tweaking the virtual knobs, I would say I'm a happy guitar player! Try the demo here: Link: https://www.kuassa.com/pr...mplifikation-caliburn/Our brand new amp simulator called Amplifikation Caliburn which we are confident to say that this is our best amp yet. This time, it’s inspired by Britain’s Marshall* Amps crafted using our most current 3rd generation modeling technology, resulting in a satisfying responsive feel, more dynamic guitar playing experience you’ll love. “Amplifikation Caliburn is developed using the 3rd generation of Kuassa’s electric circuit simulation, resulting from a responsive, more dynamic guitar playing experience which will satisfy guitar players”, says Arie Ardiansyah, CTO, and Co-Founder of Kuassa. “We are really confident to say that this is our best guitar amp simulator yet”. Amplifikation Caliburn features new enhancements for the guitar players who love to fine tune their amplifier tone: power amp sag, and bias feature. Giving an authentic tone and closer feel to a real guitar amp playing experience. During September 2018, both Amplifikation Caliburn VST/AU/VST/AAX plug-in and Rack Extension version are on intro price at US$ 35 (+vat) via Kuassa website, selected Kuassa resellers, and Propellerhead Shop. The normal price of $49 (+vat) will be active on Oktober 1st, 2018. Key Features : 3 amp types, taken inspiration from Marshall* JTM45, JCM800, and JCM900 Master Volume. 2 channels for each amp: Clean and Lead Power amp Sag and Bias feature. Five types of cabinets with Celestion speakers: High pass and low pass filters. Seven types of workhorse mics: Shure* SM57, Sennheiser* MD421, Sennheiser* MD441, C&T Naked Eye*, Royer* 121, AKG* C414, Neumann* TLM103. *Disclaimer: All trademarks are the property of their respective owners which are in no way associated or affiliated with Kuassa.

Wow, just downloaded the demo version of this - wow that's all I can say. I was working on a new track over the weekend using Scuffam - I simply replaced the Scuffam with this and every setting sounded just better - and I didn't even play with it much setting wise, just used a few of the presets!! So needless to say, I just bought it!!! Nigel

I got it as well Nigel (after demo-ing it) and liked the tones very much. Added some room Breverb to it and then, instant happiness. :)) My purchase was also immediate.

I picked it up right away, as well. It will be interesting to see how it sits in a mix. Soundwise reported that Vermilion was easy to fit in a mix, but she had trouble with Creme. If you don't have Kuassa's Cerberus Bass Amp, give it a try!

Well I had to try Cerberus - just to see, not to buy of course. Credit card now unhappy....Cerberus is very good as well. I had been using my very old IK SVX (32bit!) or my Audiffex GK Amplification, which I sort of like but it is buggy. Anyway I can consign both of those to the "had their day bin" - in a few minutes got a bass sound with Cerberus that I had been unable to get with the other two - sweet!!! Nigel

As much as I really like Caliburn, I finally figured out which VST is crashing ALL my projects......Caliburn. I just tested that out on some random projects and every single one that has Caliburn crashed CbB (as well as SPlat). Not sure what's going on, but will uninstall and re-install.....I hope it's just some glitch in the installation as I really want to use it on a current project.

Good to know it's not just my system. Possibly something that Kuassa may need to fix/address? I'll also post back after the reinstall.

Hi guys, sorry to hear for your trouble with crashing. Just fired up Cakewalk by Bandlab, I'm running build 14 64 bit and it all working fine. Hmmm, is it possible to mail me your project without any audio data so I could see if it is going to crash here ? edit: I can confirm Cakewalk crashes after latest update build 32 Thank you! Dimi

Hi Dimi, I installed this and it doesn't crash, but it only shows 1 amp (800 Rhythm) in the presets. In the preset folder it also only shows 1 amp. How do I get the rest?

Dimi, Got a complaint against you, maybe a couple complaints. First, I have never gotten a plugin to sound as good as you do, so almost not fair to have you demo it. Caliburn don't sound the same in my hands as it does in yours. Secondly, on occasion seriously depressed since the ancient Reaper days, any time I listen to your demos of whatever, and taking in the beauty of your incredible skill. Knowing that my 3 chord standard riffs are severely outclassed by you just picking up the axe. Trying not to compare, since there will always be greater and lesser guitar players. Extends to the rest of life in general. You rock dear brother and your service to many developers in showcase is way over the top. Maybe next life I can play as good as you. Please continue with your blessed gift. John

Please don't kill me Thank you so much for your kind words! Really appreciate it! I'm sure you remember when picked up the guitar for the first time.. I do! It doesn't matter 3 chords or some Crazy Prog-Mat-Djent style... It is just a pure joy. Music makes you feel better :) Here is something that could help you to get the tones and even more! You have to think out side of the box. There are not rules when tweaking tones. https://dimitones.wordpress.com/2018/09/20/kuassa-caliburn-presets/Hope you enjoy them! Best regards, dimi
