There’s nothing quite like the roar and fire of a raging guitar valve amp… nothing that is, except a state-of-the-art, next-level emulation, and that’s exactly what you get with this month’s Computer Music magazine! We’ve teamed up with the distortion-obsessed developers at Mercuriall to bring you U530 CM, a jaw-droppingly realistic guitar amp simulator plugin in VST, AU and AAX formats, and based on the full commercial Tube Amp Ultra 530 plugin.

Just like the full thing, U530 CM is based on Engl’s versatile E530 preamp, with a twochannel design that can handle crystal-clear cleans, hard-rocking crunch, singing solos, and full-on high-gain distortion with ease. The plugin also includes a modelled valve power amp stage with presence control, lush stereo chorus, and a 4x12 cabinet simulator with adjustable mic position, dialled in using the graph-display or the individual sliders to set depth and position.

Mercuriall are at pains to point out that their emulations do not rely on waveshaping, nor do they employ tone-matching techniques. Instead, neural networks are trained to solve the tough equations required to model all components in real time… but if that means nothing to you, then just take a listen – we’re sure you’ll be floored by the astonishingly authentic sound belted out by your copy of U530 CM!
