NAM is simply the best plugin for guitar available right now. I have quite a few amp sims, I've tried even Tonex, and now I'm obsessed with NAM. I don't even have gear to digitalize, I just enjoy all the great amps provided by the wonderful community, and I'm enjoying my best tones ever.

@@MotownGuitarJoe 😳Well, everywhere you would plug a electric guitar into an amplifier. Of course, you have to have a recorded DI-signal (a.k.a. dry, no amp, just the guitar directly through the preamp of your interface)

The captures by Petr Canov are unreal good. The Wizard MC2 +Mudkiller and also the Mesa Recto RED +F33. Perfect rhythm tones for Metal. Hail to Steven Atkinson!

Hail to Steven Atkinson!!!

Been watching Steve work on this along with their lutherie and honestly, they are one of the most humbling humans I've met in the Internet.

I got this a few weeks ago and tested it. NULL test is the best way to test. At 800 iterations for the capture I was able to almost have parity with my amps and the captures, three amps, ENGL PB, 6505+, and EVH 5153 Stealth. My QC failed the capture parity NULL test btw... To say the least, I am impressed with how this sounds, and its FOR FREE, Damn it!!!!

Was blown away by some of the Axe FX III captures provided by the community, specifically Roman A. The Friedman HBE capture is absolutely incredible.

What the industry needs to do is standardize amp capturing tech... What this means is that a kemper profile will work with neural etc. May never happen and perhaps someone can create a profile converter in the interim but we can dream....

Next best thing, and possibly even better, is what we’re seeing here: open source software with growing, and eventually robust, community support.

The hardware devices are also modlelers that have effects and stuff, so not really a direct comparison in my opinion. Also are they dedicated hardware devices that do not require a computer to operate. For free and for working within a DAW the NAM is pretty amazing.

From under the radar to a computer near you in pretty much no time. Over night sensation in 4 years 🤔. seriously though it's really go ballistic this last month.

Well, I didn't expect to hear a Silent Planet riff today! Haven't listened to those guys in ages!

NAM is the future. Imagine what will happen when the community discovers SBC and starts making DIY multi tone kits at home using NAM

Love the silent planet riffage!!!

That Silent Planet riff on the SLO100 sounds soooooo crunchy

I like NAM a lot, but there needs to be a pedal that runs it which costs around $100. It's all sorts of fun running it with my reamp setup through my actual tube amp. But I'm not going to drag my studio laptop around to practice or play live.

Have a kemper and had a tonex and now i treid the NAM but still goes back to overloud th-u in studio and kemper for live shows becourse its much easyer and still killer tones.

I want to use it standalone but; so buggy man, so buggy. Stayin' with bias fx2 for now, along with my ol' tube 1 watter...

And the clean amps? What quality or rate? Regarda from El Salvador, nice video. 🇸🇻👏🏼

Tone Junkie just released a couple of clean amps for NAM and they sound incredible! There's several clean amp captures on the Facebook page as well though, and they all sound really good. The biggest issue I've found is that some of the captures are just incredibly loud. Just have to turn them down a bit to avoid clipping. Thanks for checking out the video!

for me - not much until I get a dedicated bundle with poweramp and direct capture like Kemper does so I could get that direct in-room sound and feel and to keep me from OCD power-amp testing , though Kemper seems to willingly ignore users feedback about capturing issues in my opinion, while other companies have not yet provided a competetive product for in-room-sound fanatics

​@@masterofreality230 GuitarML does that with single knobs. In theory, you could creating the sweeps and interpolate between them, but each knob added let's the number of captures grow insurmountable. 1 knob , say 5 positions - 5 captures. 2 knobs, 5 positions each - 25 captures 3 knobs, 5.... - 125 captures That's the issue, and that is what making hardware simulation absolutely CPU taxing (like using LTspice or LIVEspice for circuit simulation). So I guess it will take a longer time before this technology will slip through to the guitar industry.

You can't use it live. It's just a piece of Software that you can run like any program on your computer. It's also a plugin for recording using any kind of DAW. So in your case yes, it's fine as a practice tool, all you need is a computer, an audio interface and this program.

I'm not trying to be knit picky, but NAM isn't really like Kemper at all. The better comparison is to ToneX. The reason why it's better than ToneX is because it allows you to use your own third party hardware and also run a higher EPOCH count. So the potential for higher accuracy (depending on your hardware), is much higher. If you are amp collector with a bunch of great amps, please join the community by submitting your captures! The app will continue to improve with the more captures and wider audience. Cheers

No dumb question, my man! Plugins are typically ran inside your DAW of choice, and I feel confident in saying most plugins will work in most DAWs nowadays. A lot of plugins also have standalone versions that work on your desktop without a DAW. As far as plugins that work in a piece of hardware like the HX effects, the only thing I’m personally aware of at the moment is the new Tonex device that allows you to run sounds from the plugin on that particular piece of hardware.
