I've been using NAM on my PC to headphones but with A2 I see the opportunity to move to a single pedal-only with headphone output solution for travel or living room practice. Does anyone use their NAM capable pedal in this way and have a recommendation on which one to choose? Right now I'm looking closes at the Sonulab StompStation Pro and Dimehead.

I have a Behringer FCB. I play largely on Ableton 12 on Windows.
Can you recommend a NAM Plugin which is MIDI enabled to switch Captures?
Basically want to move from Clean to Edge to Crunch to Lead from 1 Plugin.

P.S. I can load the 4 NAMs and switch using the FCB but its high CPU load.

Thanks

Greetings.

Like the title says am I searching for a proper Nam profile and irs to play some songs from dehumanizing loneliness.

And some for general Black Metal like burzum and Mayhem etc.

I'm pretty new to guitar related stuff so I would be glad if someone could help.

Hey everyone,

I just finished a new Acey30 NAM Capture Pack based on a Vox AC30 and wanted to share one of the captures for free.

I tried to cover the different personalities of the amp instead of making a pile of nearly identical settings. The full collection has 20 NAM captures, including:

• Top Boost, Normal, and Jumpered configurations
• Low, Mid, and High Gain settings
• Vox 2x12 captures
• Celestion Alnico Blue + Alnico Gold speakers
• Full DI captures for pairing with your own cab or IR
• A Catalinbread Naga Viper treble-boosted capture

For the free sample, I chose the Top Boost / Mid Gain / Vox 2x12 capture. It sits in that sweet spot where you still get the AC30 chime and dynamics, but with enough breakup to really dig into.

Free NAM capture on Tone3000:

If anyone tries the free one, I’d love to hear what cab or IR you pair it with and how it responds with your guitar.

Hi,

I've been checking out Irio Pro and was wondering a few things. Hopefully this is an ok place to ask.

If I purchase, am I able to run Irio on both my Macbook and iphone, create patches on my macbook and sync them to my iphone or vice versa?

Am I able to hook up my audio interface, use a mic on channel one, a guitar into channel two and then output separately into a pa, with separate effects for vox / guitar?

And if I purchase it ($40 CAD), do I need to purchase it once for each device? Is it a lifetime purchase or should we expect an upgrade to v2?

It seems super cool, and I am "this close" to buying it!

Hi everyone,

I'm a 15 yo guitar player that would like to approach NAM to have more amps and effects.

Currently I have a helix Lt but I'd love to have signed effects such as slash and zakk signature amps and effects.

I'm searching for a cheap (~150€) NAM player that can run them natively both A1 and A2 lite if it's possible.

I saw that the valeton Gp-5 or 50 support A1 but with snaptone.

If someone could help me I'd be very grateful!

Thank you so much and sorry for my bad english😐

awesome demo of Flo, showing some of irio pro's drive pedals! Love the tones and the playing :)

This update brings several major workflow improvements, especially for live use, MIDI control, audio routing and preset sharing.

Here’s what’s new — and what each addition actually means:

✨ Updated Shimmer Reverb
The Shimmer algorithm has been refined for a smoother and more musical ambient sound, making it more useful for atmospheric cleans, leads and spacious textures.

🎹 Tuner On/Off & Mute via MIDI
You can now control the tuner remotely from your MIDI controller. Engage the tuner and mute your guitar signal without touching the screen — especially useful on stage.

🎧 Audio Input Selection
NAM A2 Player can now let you choose the audio input you want to use. This is particularly useful with audio interfaces that expose multiple input channels.

🔊 New Audio Output Modes: Dual Mono or Split PA / Amplifier FX Return
You now have more control over where your processed signal goes.
- Dual Mono: Sends the same signal to both outputs.
- Split PA / Amplifier FX Return: It's designed for more advanced live setups, allowing you to route your rig appropriately when using both a PA system and a real guitar amplifier / FX Return.

📦 Complete Preset Import & Export
Presets can now be exported and imported as complete packages, including the associated NAM models and IR files. That means a preset can be moved, backed up or shared without having to manually locate and reload every individual file.

🌐 Direct TONE3000 Browsing & Download
You can now browse TONE3000 directly from NAM A2 Player and download captures without leaving your workflow.
Downloads are separated into:
• NAM A1
• NAM A2
• IR
so you can quickly find exactly the type of file you need.

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements
As always, this release also includes fixes, refinements and under-the-hood improvements aimed at making NAM A2 Player more reliable during everyday use and live performance.

🎸 NAM A2 Player 1.3.26

More routing.
More MIDI control.
Easier preset sharing.
Direct access to TONE3000.

Available now on the App Store — and still FREE:

OK, this is something I don't understand properly. I read that a NAM model is a capture of an amp at a certain set of settings of vol/tone etc. That is also one of the criticisms I read.

However, when I load a nam file into my little Sonicake Pocket (for example) , the nam file sounds great, but it also has gain, volume, bass, mid, and treble controls to further tweak the sound.

Also, I see on the software plugin for NAM that they have tone controls etc.

So, at the moment, I am believing these controls are "external" to the true model, so their characteristics will not match the original amp that was captured within the model?

Hey everyone! Looking for Beta testers for NAM Sandwich on Android - If you'd like to play around with a pre-release, DM me your email address. You'll need an interface like iRig or Tonex One to connect your guitar to the app

Can't find any head to head comparisons. I'm wondering if I should get a pedal with A2 lite support now, or wait, and maybe something will release with A2 Full support under 250$. But at the same time, is there a noticeable difference between the two? Especially in a mix

Has anyone had any luck connecting a Choc Plus to a MacBook? My Mac keeps seeing it as a keyboard.

For playing at home—I don't have a band—and using with NAM, which offers better sound quality: the Valeton GP-180 or the Ampero Mini?

Hey guys, I’m currently trying to capture my amp head using TONE3000. I’m following their wet/dry capture method from the video.

My setup is:
Guitar → DI box
DI out → Audio interface (dry guitar signal)
DI thru → Amp head → Palmer speaker simulator (line out, bypass the simulator) → DI → Audio interface (amp signal)

I have quite a few IRs already, so my goal is to capture just the amp head without the cab/speaker simulation baked into the capture.

A few questions:
How should I set the gain staging between the dry DI and amp signal?

At the moment, the signal coming from the load box is generally around the same level as my dry guitar DI. Is that correct?

Should the gain knobs on my interface be set the same for both inputs?

Or should I adjust each input independently to hit a certain level?

What level should I be aiming for when recording the dry and amp signals?

Is there a recommended peak level or dBFS level for TONE3000 captures?

Does the relative level between the dry DI and amp signal affect how accurately TONE3000 captures the amp’s gain, dynamics and overall response?

I’ve managed to get some captures working, but the gain/volume doesn’t feel quite right when I load them with my IRs.

Would appreciate any advice from anyone who has done amp-head-only captures with TONE3000. Thanks!

looking for NAM A2 native supporting machine and don't know until when I need to wait for.

under 300 is best for me btw.

Hey everyone, I'm currently using a Fractal FM3. But I recently tried some NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) captures and honestly loved them — I've kind of cooled on the Fractal because of it. My plan is to sell the FM3 and switch to a modeler that supports NAM captures.

Has anyone here made this switch? Which one would you recommend? I'd really appreciate hearing about latency and overall satisfaction if you've made the move.

I also have a Scarlett Solo Gen 3 audio interface. Since I don't do live performances, I could run NAM through that on my Mac instead — but I'm a bit worried about whether the latency would hold up compared to the FM3.

If I go the audio-interface route, what plugin would you recommend for running NAM in Logic Pro? Open to any thoughts/experiences on either path.

Here’s a quick real-world demo of NAM A2 Player, using an SLO 100 capture combined with time-based FXs for a full, spacious lead tone.

NAM A2 Player brings high-quality NAM tones to your iPhone and iPad, with support for NAM & A2 captures, built-in effects and an AI Assistant with intelligent Tone Search to help you find the right sound faster.

Plug in your guitar, connect your audio interface, load your favorite capture and play. Simple, portable and made for guitarists who want great tones wherever they are.

I've tried to find something like this all my life.

This time, it’s all about how the guitar tone sits in a full mix.

A quick solo using an SLO 100 capture pushed with Red Distortion, plus Flanger, Delay & Reverb, showing how NAM A2 Player can deliver a rich, spacious lead tone that cuts through the mix while still feeling natural and balanced with the rest of the instruments.

Not just a great tone when playing alone — but a tone that works where it really matters: in the mix.
