I'm not sure if it's "fair" to cite a paid vst, but IMO, "Amp Room" by the dev "Soft Tube" (sic..?) is my fave, soundswise. Particularly the Fenders and Voxes, I can dial in/nail the cruddy, disgusting, rebellious-sounding "edge of distortion" sounds I need in order to perpetuate the 1 and 1/2-chord "I wannabe 1966" garage rock "songs" I do.

Welcome dude! I'm still hooked after trying it early last year.

Really great video! Thanks for doing a demo and a walkthrough!

NAM is available on the Mod Audio Dwarf. I’ve also heard of NAM being installed in Raspberry Pi’s that are designed to be multi effects processors.

Great rundown! I think I agree it might have the slightest edge over ToneX/NeuralDSP in terms of sound quality/realism. The open source nature of NAM is so intriguing...really feel like the first company to implement this into a well-executed hardware pedal will be sitting on a gold mine! Poly effects is working on implementing it into their firmware for the Beebo and should be available really soon - eager to see how that goes.

Thanks homie!! Appreciate it. I used all free IRs from tone hunt. The specific amps I used were all listed in the video- all of them were by Amalgam Audio.

Nice video man, you got pretty damn good sounds. I've been using it for a good while now. Just to add on the "portability" of it I've also been messing around with the NAM port on the poly Beebo (ig it's open source), and it already sounds great though it's still just beta firmware. It's great though, just a little research on tonehunt and you're set. Fairly futuristic ngl, now you can basically record a fairly pro sounding song with just a guitar and sme cables

Thanks so much! I don’t remember since I made this almost a year ago now. I do know I used the Fender Tweed and the AC30TB in stereo for all of the parts. I think I had my deep six and moonshine going into the amps. Although the amps were breaking up a little so it could’ve been the Belle Starr instead of the moonshine…

Maaaan your guitar tones sound so good, I had to download NAM to try this out! I'm having the hardest time getting Impulse Responses that sound good though.. did you use all the same Amalgam IRs that they paired with their different NAM amp captures, and use the built in IR loader in NAM? I wanna try and learn how to get sounds similar to yours first just to make sure I'm using NAM and IR's the right way!😂

I wanted to point out something about the cons-- this product is supposed to be for studio usage, so having a less-than-intuitive setup of plugin to website to VST package to folder to DAW, is pretty normal! I think today musicians are spoiled by the convenience of plug-and-play pedals and software, but I think putting a few minutes of thought into how you want to set this product up will help you prepare for recording with it. Gigging with NAM would be cool, but that's specifically what TONEX is designed for.

I programmed those with a plug-in. I think I used Native Instruments Abbey Road Modern Drummer… or Native Instruments Studio Drummer. I can’t remember which I used since it was a bit ago, but both are fantastic!

Does it just simulate amps? Or can it do pedals at the same time like the qc?

@JustinMuncy

10 ай бұрын

I think there’s an element of pedal capture, but it not an all in one unit like the QC

I really love the convenience of these kind of plugins. Plug the guitar to my interface, and that's it. No outboard gear really necessary. Although I do plug in to a Digitech FreQout first (to get sustain and feedback at very low volume), but that's it.

Hi Justin.....How do you run a delay or other modulations with this?

@JustinMuncy

6 ай бұрын

Either with plug-ins, or you could run your pedalboard into your audio interface, then into it. Or you could even convert your signal from the DAW back to line level and then route that into pedals and then send it back into your audio interface.

hi does anyone know how to connect this to a audio interface on Mac?

That would be cool!! Not sure about EQs, but there are plugins that effectively do this with compressors, but they're emulations vs captures.

My heart breaks for you in 107 degrees. That's a no from me... LOL.

I'll have to hear them side by side, but with the right amp model, the sound quality is pretty darn close.

I see no downside to this in terms of lugging gear. Its hella compact.
