DSM™isanewandexclusiveIKMultimediatechnologyusedintheemula-tionofanalogcircuitry.DSM™wasdesignedtoincreasetheresponsereal-ismandplayabilityofcriticalanalogcircuitmodels.Musiciansalways feltdigitalemulationsofhighqualityanaloggear(suchasguitaramplifiers)tobegoodbutnotcompletelysatisfyingbecauseofthelackofcertain“play-ability”and“musicality”qualitiesthatonlytherealthingprovides.DSM™hasbeendesignedtoimprovethisaspect.
