A2 — THE NEW NAM
• Plays the latest Architecture 2 (A2) captures — the most accurate Neural Amp Model yet
• Also plays every standard .nam file
• Slim control on A2 models to trade CPU for quality if you need performance
• 3-band amp tone stack (Bass / Mid / Treble) with fluid tonestacks, bring a higher level of emulation to your NAM captures with circuit accurate tonestacks
• Tonestack Lab: shape the amp EQ with an interactive circuit editor that allows you to draw the circuit directly
• an ever-growing library of effects including delays, ambient and shimmer reverbs, pitch bending and even turn your guitar into a multi-voice synthesizer.
TONE3000 INTEGRATION
• Sign in with Tone3000 to search and download thousands of amp captures and IRs
• Browse captures with big artwork, description and author right in the app
• One tap auditions a tone on your rig; a double-tap loads it
• Your rig shows the capture's artwork
• Manage your downloaded amps and IRs in-app
• Organise your captures into folders
• Add your own .nam and .wav files from your device
SCENES — PRESETS WITHIN A PRESET
• Every preset holds multiple named, colour-coded scenes
• Each scene is an instant snapshot of your dials and bypasses — switch with no reload and no gap
• Double-tap a preset to jump to its second scene
• Hold a scene to rename, recolour, set or reset it
• Assign scenes to MIDI for hands-free switching
• The active scene tints your dials and backdrop so you always know where you are
CABINET & EFFECTS
• Load your own impulse responses (.wav), or search the community directory right inside the app
• A generous set of free effects, add as many as you like to the chain:
– Overdrive, distortion and fuzz: Maple Drive, The Rodent, Yellow Box, Memory Fuzz,
Royal Tone, Glory Days, Console 84, Octaver

Multi-tap, Diffuse, Dyna Delay, Reverse Delay and Grain

This is the one that does it all. You provide the guitar and digital interface. This app does the rest. Tone3000 integration, flexible pedal chain, library management, midi integration for switching during live performances, and so much more. And it is under active development with new features dropping every few weeks right now (mid 2026). This software is a bargain at this price.
