Amplifikation Matchlock is an amp simulator plugin by Kuassa, inspired by Fender combo amps. It models three amp types with two channels each, plus cabinets and a choice of seven microphones.
Amplifikation Matchlock is Kuassa's amp simulator built around the American clean-amp sound of Fender combo designs. The developer describes it as the second product using its third-generation tube simulation technology. It covers guitar players who want a recording-style amp chain inside a digital audio workstation, with cabinet, microphone and room-style miking options included in one plugin.
The plugin offers three amp types inspired by Fender's Twin Reverb, Super Reverb and Custom Vibrolux Reverb. Each amp has two channels, Clean and Boosted.
The amp section includes power amp Sag and Bias controls. Five cabinet types are available, along with high pass and low pass filters for shaping the low and high end. A noise gate and limiter are also included.
Seven microphones can be selected: Shure SM57, Sennheiser MD421, Sennheiser MD441, Shure KSM313, Royer R121, AKG C414 and Neumann TLM103. Dual-miking is adjustable, with mono or stereo configurations and a mix control, so you can blend two mic positions the way a recording session would.
The interface is described as straightforward, and it supports up to 8x oversampling.
