Amalgam Audio TRCK CRS NAM Essential DI

After our recent experience with the SSS, we assumed this is the end all be all clean tone machine, but the CRS delivers some fierce competition.

The CRS is a little bit more compressed, a bit more rounded, slightly softer and warmer with more low mids. This results in an extremely musical clean tone that transitions beautifully and effortlessly into some of the best edge of breakup and crunch tones we've heard.

It can be also dialed in for more sparkle and high end detail without getting strident compared to the SSS. The tone is still very dynamic and detailed, but slightly more rounded at the right places to make it well suited for driven tones too. Along with the phenomenal clean it delivers some of the best blues tones we've had the pleasure to experience.

The Gain Stage switch adds 3 distinctive voicings to choose from ranging from traditional Dumblesque and Blackface tones to TRCK's own signature sound.

Most famously used by Matt Schofield and Mick Taylor from TPS.

An extremely versatile amp that in addition delivers some of the best tones from our favorite overdrive pedals that we've ever gotten out of any amp.

The set includes 20 AMP+CAB captures ranging from clean to lead gain levels and featuring various EQ settings per gain level. Please refer to the full list of captures in the product pictures.
