MercuryRec is not just a simple replica 
of the 3 channels version but instead a 
“2 Ch 1”: the high gain Vintage 
and Modern schematics recreate the 
old 2 channels vibe while the Clean is 
taken from the more recent 3 channels 
models. 

Engage MercuryRec with the certainty 
that you are getting the same nuances 
of the real thing in the digital domain, 
and keep in mind: with the additional 
tweak section that only DiBiQuadro 
provides you can add a unique touch 
and finally get your very own personal 
sound! 

 

The perfect approach to 
circuit modeling 

MercuryRec  features  the same  built-
from-scratch 64-bit engine  used for 
SaturnLO  which is based on general 
purpose hi-quality algorithms and the 
most recent non-linear models. 
Particular attention has been put on 
the definition of the Non  Linear  Solver 
to get the maximum quality and 
realism, without losing details in favor of 
performances  (Double-Precision  Non-
Linear Computing).  

Our non-plus-ultra reproductions bring 
a completely new philosophy to the 
table: being able to shape your tone 
by giving total access to the circuit 
components. Managing each gain 
stage level, shaping the tone-stacks  or 

modifying the tubes characteristics: 
there is virtually no limit to what you 
can achieve with our plugins!
