Mercuriall Audio - Spark amp sim

Mercuriall Audio Software announces new guitar amp sim “Spark”!

Spark is a VST/AU/AAX plugin that models four Marshall® tube amplifiers, four guitar cabinets, four overdrive pedals and a set of the most common spatial effects.
Spark is the realization of all our latest achievements in the field of real-time electric circuits modeling. First of all, it’s a tube push-pull power amplifier that is working with a reactive load (guitar cabinet), with negative feedback and electric feed chains. This allowed us to implement a truly realistic poweramp saturation (very important for the majority of the Marshall®-based amps), realistic work of the Presence knob and made possible to take into account the influence of the output and power transformers.
We have considerably improved the cabinet section. Apart from the smooth positioning of microphones, we added an option to mix sound of two mics. This allows you to find pretty much any desired sound. There are four cabs and three microphones at your disposal.
Despite the fact that Spark is an amp and cab sim above all, we gave a lot of attention to the FX section. There is a Noise Gate at the input, as well as a number of pedals: there are currently four overdrives, implemented with our proprietary technology of the electric chain modeling. As for the spatial effects - there are Chorus, Delay and Reverb.
Spark’s UI continues our approach of simple usability at no expense to a wide functionality. All main actions require just a single click. We pay a lot of attention to the design, that passes a lot of iterations of adjustments and improvements, offering you a very simple and functional solution.
Spark is planned to be released in Q4 2016.

Whatsup!
Here is a short sample of a clean sound you can get with Spark. Built-in chorus, reverb and delay were used. No processing on the guitar track. Some basic VSTs on Master.

How does it sound to you? =)

PM them to me, Slava, and I'll post 'em.

There's a lite version of U530 with next month's Computer Music. 
Sure hope it's less lite than the lite one at Mercuriall HQ 'cause those knobs don't turn.

You have correct information! Where does it come from? =)
The version will be... different from the Free one.

Here's the Spark link, guys: https://www.dropbox.com/s/83g2q35h2et2lfl/800-clean.mp3

erm
it's a guitar with fx
if you're going to bother posting a demo, then make it have a point- show settings on the ampsim, guitar used, then post some other settings, a crunch, a distortion, a lead, then even better a full track demo with the amp sim inplace.
i'm sure it's lovely but 1m20s on Drop Box ain't gonna cut it

Wazup!

One of our beta testers - BlastWave Studios - created a mix with an early version of Spark. Sounds sweet! 800 amp on rhythm and Lead on solo. Check it out here:

I have it downloaded but haven't tried it yet...

The LAST thing I need is another Amp sim...and 
this will probably stir my GAS...for which I'm 
penniless...so I'm kinda scared...or scarred...
one of the two...
