Modern Deluxe – The Embodiment of Classic British Rock in Digital Form
Welcome to the world of Modern Deluxe – a guitar plugin by the talented developer lostin70s, replicating the legendary British tube sound with modern conveniences. This plugin doesn’t just emulate; it’s based on a detailed “capture” of the author’s unique personal amplifier – a purple English machine that masterfully combines vintage tones with modern features. The result is a live, breathing sound that is ideal for a wide range of musical genres, from classic rock and blues to modern alternative styles where a rich, charismatic guitar tone is needed.
Powerful Amplifier Capabilities
Modern Deluxe expands the concept of the original hardware amplifier, offering more flexibility and control in your digital studio. If the physical prototype had one channel, the plugin gives you two fully independent channels, each equipped with dual preamp gain controls. This allows you to easily switch between clean sound, light crunch, rich rock overdrive, and dense distortion. Additional Mid-Boost switches and a global Boost on each channel allow you to “cut through” the mix or add aggression at the right moment.
Comprehensive Control and Effects
For accurate shaping of your ideal guitar tone, Modern Deluxe includes a powerful 5-band equalizer that allows you to finely adjust the frequency balance of the sound. But one of the most interesting features is the integrated virtual pedalboard. It contains 5 high-quality stompbox effects ready to use. You no longer need to think about the order of connecting physical pedals – everything is integrated, convenient, and accessible for quick experimentation with your sound palette. This pedal section promises to expand in future updates!
Realistic Cabinets and Atmosphere
No amplifier is complete without the right speaker and room acoustics. Modern Deluxe uses a high-quality cabinet and reverb section borrowed from the Tone Deluxe plugin. At your service are 12 carefully modeled guitar cabinets with different configurations (1×12, 2×10, 2×12, 4×12), which reproduce the sound characteristics of the most legendary cabinets in music history. Add to this two models of vintage spring reverb, and you get a deep, voluminous, and realistic guitar sound that will easily fit into any mix.
Dynamic Response and Wide Compatibility
A key feature of Modern Deluxe that makes it similar to a real tube amplifier is its exceptional sensitivity to the dynamics of your playing. The degree of overdrive (distortion) naturally reacts to how hard you attack the strings, as well as to the position of the volume control on your guitar. This allows you to control the expressiveness of your performance directly from the instrument. The plugin supports a wide range of sample rates, making it compatible with most professional audio interfaces and DAWs:
- 44100Hz
- 48000Hz
- 88200Hz
- 96000Hz
- 176400Hz
- 192000Hz
Designed for Windows (32/64 bit) and macOS platforms, in VST and AU formats, Modern Deluxe has been successfully tested in Logic and Reaper, guaranteeing stable operation.
Your Path to the Perfect Guitar Sound
Modern Deluxe by lostin70s is more than just an amplifier simulation. It is an inspiring tool, offering a rich, authentic British tone with the flexibility of modern digital processing.
