L12X is an analog simulation inspired by the Marshall® Lead 12™ solid state amplifier of the late ‘80s. The original circuit has been modified by adding two additional channels (Clean and Metal), a Contour knob (to get a more scooped tone) and an additional Boost overdrive stage. An integrated Cab Simulator is loaded with a Marshall® cabinet IR featuring Celestion® V30 cones.
