Neural Amp Modeller

Post by madrigal77 »

Just saw this. Haven't played with it yet, but I plan on giving it a go tonight. Free profiler plugin that's supposed to be better than Kemper, Tone X, etc.. Lots of profiles already out there. Sounds pretty cool.

I downloaded it but haven't tried it yet. People are certainly hyping it up

Is it supposed to be easy to profile a map? I'd like to try profiling my sound city

I haven't looked into that yet. Probably best to join the Facebook group as there's tons of info there:

I tried to run it on and old Surface Pro 4 I had laying around and it didn't run too well on it lol. Quite a bit of latency. I'm going to bring my MacBook home from work tonight and give it a go on it.

Grabbed this 10-12 days ago; solid plugin and the maps sound good/feel good to play.

If this dude lets out a $150 box with some map capability people will lose their shit.

ok finally messed around with it, my only complaint using the stand alone app on a new imac, im getting a bit of latency. enough to notice. but this thing sounds great and totally worth the price. If some studio start putting out professional captures it will be awesome. I would probably be willing to pay money for good captures. Some sounds bad ass, some sounds not so bad ass. some are stupidly too loud, and some are stupidly too quiet. but there are some good ones.

Oh man, using the plugin in GarageBand, I’m getting like a full second of latency.

I’ll stick to the amps I own to record my crappy songs.

Ok the latency was my fault the default buffer size on the standalone app is 512 dropped it to 64 and no latency I’ll try it in logic later tonight so no latency issues for me anymore and that was my only complaint

Some of you guys may have listened already but I used it for Killzone's drumjam and holy shit this thing fkn good man. Love the simplicity. I mean there isnt even gain or presence on it. So either you like the profile you grabbed or you don't, there is no real tweaking to it. I did use an STL IR loader so I can up the resonance, sort of like a presence.

Yeah dude this fucks!

So if I wanted to profile my own amp using NAM, I'd need a reamp box?

I haven't done a capture with NAMM yet but I think you just need either a di box with cab or a loadbox for direct to your interface, or I guess a mic and cab too, like a Kemper basically.

I won't even install or try this for fear of them doing something like the Quad Core Wifi and password breach that is currently ongoing. Imagine what they could imbed on your PC from the VST. Screw these guys.

This has nothing to do with the quad cortex. Totally different developer. This is actually open source. They just both happen to have “Neural” in the name.

The open source thing is kinda interesting. I joined a FB group and seen some dudes adding their own knobs or making skins n shit for it. Its like the Linux of modelers.

Finally got to give this a real go. I was just using the Katana as an interface, and playing it through laptop speakers. It sounded… ok.

Went and got a Scarlett Solo and ran it through the power amp in on my Katana. It sounds great and it’s really fun to play with. It really sounds like the real amps, right down to how they respond to volume.

Definitely pretty fun to play with for free!!
