MLC Subzero 100 Features
– Three channels with distinctly different voicings and gain capabilities. The MLC Subzero 100 retains clarity, depth, and detail all the way from sparkling cleans via delicious crunch to high-gain meltdown.
– Dual cabinets with a blend slider to mix between them. Two cabinets are included, each miked with five classic microphone models that can be positioned freely. The user can also load their own impulse responses.
– The groundbreaking IRDX technology adds unprecedented realism to any cabinet impulse response.
– Two different overdrive pedals in front of the amp — the MLC Vanilla Sky and a model of Jens Bogren’s own classic green overdrive pedal, used on hundreds of records.
– A delay and a reverb pedal in the amp’s effects loop.
– A classic studio EQ for finalizing the sound.
– Noise gate and tuner
– Riff recorder

Groundbreaking IRDX Technology
The new IRDX technology breathes life into the guitar sound by adding dynamic and true-to-life behavior to static speaker impulse responses.
Impulse responses are excellent at capturing the tonality and resonance of a guitar cabinet. But by nature, they are only static snapshots in time. Real-life guitar speakers react dynamically to the input from the amplifier — they move air, compress, and break up depending on how hard they are being pushed by the amp. An impulse response can replicate the tonal characteristics of a real cab but not the dynamics and other non-linearities. As a result, the sound of an IR can be two-dimensional, lifeless, and fatiguing.
The IRDX technology, developed by producer Jens Bogren, uses advanced machine learning methods to reconstruct the difference between a real cab and an impulse response. Any impulse response can be processed with IRDX, and the result is a guitar amp sim that reacts like a real amp, easily fits in a mix without sounding stale, and feels great to play.
