Neural Amp Modeler NAM amp capture/profile player FREE (Steve Ack) *March 2023 update 0.7.0 – Page 10 – Effects Forum

Judging by the length of this thread, there’s a lot of enthusiasm which is awesome. And for free, hard to complain.

Among the positives after checking this out, it really does sound different when change the captures. A lot of other profiling type product offerings out there tend to sound a bit samey like they have the same processed sound and filter going through each amp so Mesa Boogie Lonestar could sound similar to an AC30 at similar gain settings, which of course is not true in real life.

This truly sounds different with different amp captures. Bravo. The low end response is also excellent in comparison to the real deal as other profiling competitors seem to really lack bottom end punch of real amp for instance all of the Neural DSP captures miss those deep lows while Kemper’s low end sounds super compressed.

My one gripe about this current iteration free and all is that the captures sound somewhat lifeless. Something is missing here in the transient response. When you dial up a cranked JCM 800 with a booster in front you can get the amp to roar. In the current state, this to me is missing here and I hope this can be improved upon. All that said, I think this is a nice leap forward in profiling technology.

I have gripes on all the profilers. Kemper sounds too compressed, Neural DSP is missing some gain and the bottom end beef, the Tone Matching on Axe FX is way off, Bias Amps sound seriously flat, the the Overloud Th-U sounds very samey and boxy plus there’s no potential for community captures, Revalver’s Tone Capture system is too samey and lacks dynamics, the Tracing from STL tones all sounds the same even in spite of the claims of capturing entire chains, Tonex seems to almost have exaggerated dynamics and lacks serious punch.

This one compares favorably to a lot of the alternatives. I’d like to see this have a little more roar or juice going on, maybe something is off in the high midrange or what not but nice to see we are getting closer.
