I got back to guitar playing after 2 years of having a break. I started using NAM and...I am amazed by the quality of this tool and the community. This is something we all needed, for real.

Wow Man !! I really love these captures. Thank you so much.

I really really apreciate you did this on E standard. Most reviews nowadays are down tuned and i feel its Harder to tell any significant differences between amps the lower you go. I am using Nam lately and its amazing. Im gonna try to use one of these profile for my next single. Great job my friend!! Cheers from Colombia!

What is crazy and what I find the most mind-blowing is that modeling not only is the future but also it sounds ( in my experience ) much better than traditional amplifiers because we have access to absolutely all the settings that are not the case on a tube or transistor amplifier. Many people complain about modeling because they usually stick to the basic presets, whereas if you take the time to adjust everything yourself I hold onto the result that I have had for all these years playing on tube amps. The only advantage of these amps is that they are much simpler, with fewer settings.

I’ve been a proponent of modeling for a long time. In my opinion, for a lot of use cases the convenience supersedes any tonal difference. I’ve used so many pieces of gear extensively and seem to always gravitate to plugins for recording, and my Helix for live use. Thanks for checking out the video!

I have a question that may sound stupid. On the tone hunt page are downloads of different amps, cabs etc right? So how do I actually download those into my PC? Looks like zip files? Need to be converted? I am totally lost dood

This plug-in alone should absolutely push other companies to make their sims sound as realistic as possible going forward. IMO Fractal is still king when it comes to engineering the most realistic sim and effects, while making them extremely customizable. I realize this plug-in is about captures, and for most people, all they want is an amp and overdrive with very basic delay and reverb, and that’s fine. For others, we love having the best of the best for inspiration. This plug-in is a huge step to pushing for companies to create higher quality. Can’t wait for the day when open source effects become as good as top shelf hardware and plug-ins.

I cannot see how there could be any real sustain .. maybe I'm wrong? For me an amps sustain is EVERYTHING .. when listening to classic rock songs and solos they were all recorded with loud Amps .. cam the Neural Amp Modeler reproduce that loud Amp on the verge of feedback sound?
