Thinking of selling my FM3 for NAM captures — worth it?

Hey everyone, I'm currently using a Fractal FM3. But I recently tried some NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) captures and honestly loved them — I've kind of cooled on the Fractal because of it. My plan is to sell the FM3 and switch to a modeler that supports NAM captures.

Has anyone here made this switch? Which one would you recommend? I'd really appreciate hearing about latency and overall satisfaction if you've made the move.

I also have a Scarlett Solo Gen 3 audio interface. Since I don't do live performances, I could run NAM through that on my Mac instead — but I'm a bit worried about whether the latency would hold up compared to the FM3.

If I go the audio-interface route, what plugin would you recommend for running NAM in Logic Pro? Open to any thoughts/experiences on either path.

Used to think my modeler was pretty good, now with NAM

Had a few little modelers like Positive Grid and Hotone, and it was cute.

Then I saw some posts about NAM... then some more with a slew of NAM loaders coming in every day.... Sifting through it all, I finally settled on a setup.

I had an iPad M2, a MOTU M4 for good D/A conversion (very important!) and went with ToneRig after seeing a YT video.

The sounds I got brought in a smile that just wouldn't go away.

So much above any modeler I've heard.

NAM is quite good (when you get a good capture), but I really found that it needs a good DAC to sound great. A cheap NAM loader will not do it justice. So, all those Headrush, or any other conversion based unit with cheap D/A processing do not really show what NAM A2 can do.

Do not skimp on the D/A.
MOTU is quite good. Wish I had a RME unit, but budget was limited. MOTU was a good alternative.

Some really good NAM loaders around.
ToneRig had me at the performance and price ratio. Irio pro seems nice, but more expensive.

This is a fun time!

Hear NAM A2 Player in the mix!

This time, it’s all about how the guitar tone sits in a full mix.

A quick solo using an SLO 100 capture pushed with Red Distortion, plus Flanger, Delay & Reverb, showing how NAM A2 Player can deliver a rich, spacious lead tone that cuts through the mix while still feeling natural and balanced with the rest of the instruments.

Not just a great tone when playing alone — but a tone that works where it really matters: in the mix.

🎸 SLO 100
🔥 Red Distortion
⏱️** Flanger, Delay & Rever**b
🎶 Full Mix / Lead Guitar
📱 iPhone & iPad
🤖 AI-powered Tone Search
🔥 NAM & A2 support

Turn it up and hear how it sits in the mix! 🎧

Soran Dual Stomp

Looking to change from my Positive Grid Spark Mini and buy a Soran Dual Stomp to install NAM profiles to. Anything else I can consider? 120$ here for the pedal.

I heard that they are soon to support Native A2, but haven't seen anything official from them.

I Just Don’t Understand….

I’ve tried NAM over and over. I’ve bought tones online, I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to understand the hype but I just don’t. NAM is so unintuitive. I don’t know how to capture an amp, create an ir, effect or anything like that. I’m simply a user.

My problem is I go to tone3000, download the amp, utilize the nam gateway and I don’t immediately love it. Ok no problem if I could tweak it. Instead I have to sift through a list of dozens of slightly different models of the same amp or ir each with a letter or number different in the name (which once again I don’t even know what it is or understand). For me this is beyond option paralysis and just feels above my level of understanding. I just bought a fractal am4 because k heard it’s the best quality modeler and watched some Leon Todd videos, but today I saw headrush added nam. Still I don’t understand all the love for nam. It being added to headrush makes me feel buying the am4 was a mistake. Now that it’s on headrush, can I actually tweak tones? Even then I still find it difficult to find the actual amp I want to play. Are there nam pedals that can be used with the headrush? Are there nam expression pedals to utilize the pedal on the headrush?

Someone please help me understand what’s the deal with all of this, if I made a mistake buying the am4, and whatever else it is I’m missing.

Live gig with NAM A2 Player

Last live gig was also a great real-world test for NAM A2 Player — and this time I used it as part of my actual live setup, not just at studio.

The setup was simple: guitar → audio interface → iPhone → NAM A2 Player → PA, with the iPhone handling my guitar tone. No traditional amp, no large pedalboard, just a compact digital rig.

What mattered most was how it behaved in a real live environment: stability, latency, responsiveness and, of course, the sound through the PA. Everything worked exactly as expected throughout the gig. The response felt natural while playing, the setup was easy to manage, and having my tones available directly on the iPhone made the whole rig incredibly convenient - using the M-Vave Chocolate Plus to control the whole setup.

Developing an app is one thing. Taking it on stage, plugging in your guitar and actually relying on it for a live performance is something completely different.

NAM A2 Player passed the live test. 🎸

SoundShed Guitar and Air-G... OMG

Unbelievable tone. I'm just stunned. I've been LOVING SoundShed Guitar, NAM, VST, Backing tracks, NAM browsing... it's amazing. I also have liked "Air-Windows" free plugins but they are very confusing to use efficiently because of their lack of GUI, Well Air-G is a GUI for AirWindows and WOW!!!. I've been inspired to play out of my mind for hours because of the ridiculously great tone I am getting. Last night I was tone crafting and found that using AirWindows EQ peddle vis Air-G interface is fantastic. I was running it in front of the amp as an EQ for my input signal (guitar) and was working well. Then I decided to drag it to the end of the chain before the final reverb and WOW, i can shape my tone perfectly. I have tones better than I imagined, so perfect. Many good NAM captures with this setup are so dynamic. If I play soft it gets cleaner and smoother, dig in and it has bit, hammer it and it's full blown Marshall or whatever you have EQ'ed for for. I'm blown away and have been playing over my head for several hours sessions. Then add the Air-G Distrortion and OMG, pretty my any tone is avalible from slightly pushed to EVH. Works fantastic on both clean and driven amps. Is not over the top but for me near perfect. Using the Push, Drive and Mix knobs you can get about anything. Then use the EQ shown above to contour it to your liking / guitar. WOW.

Vibe-coded transposer auv

Hey, I'm a AI Engineer and saw that there are no auv transposers (I want to play guitar live using some nam plugins and I needed a transposer), so I vibe coded one using Signalsmith Stretch

Features so far:

- ±2 octave real-time transposition

- Formant shift + compensation, so pitched-up stuff doesn't sound like a chipmunk

- Latency mode switch depending on whether you're tracking live or just messing around

- "Advanced" mode that exposes the raw Stretch params (block size, overlap, tonality limit) if you want to tweak the actual algorithm

It's not in the app store, but the code is available here https://github.com/norhther/guitar-transposer-au

You can build it yourself and I'm open to PR

What audio interface is recommanded for nam?

I read motu m4 is a solid one... want it mainly for guitar plugins and to have more future proof connections if i will want to add microphone and midi.

What do you use?

Question abt using nam a2 on a pedal that doesn't support it

So I am planning to buy my first rig and I decided to pair my guitar (Jackson js12) with a mooer ge100 pro li but it doesn't support a2 yet. So I was thinking. Since the pedal can be used as an interface, can I use it to input the di into fl studio and put the nam a2 plugin there?

Presets/Scenes switching

Hey im pretty new with NAM and im enjoying it so far. Ive tried alot of plugins and Soundshed/Genome Intro are my go-to so far. I just have this problem when im trying to switch scenes/setlist inside a bank or preset where there's a noticeable delay/latency. I can even see in the DAW master meter that there's this quick lag indicating its loading the next preset.

Tried searching for it in general and people suggested to use the scenes inside the preset which is what im doing. For starters, im just trying to toggle an overdrive capture.

People seem to be referring to to this as gapless switching. Is this jusy normal or a problem with my windows pc/settings?
