Hey all, ive forked the NAM - Tone3000 plugin so it supports loading AU/VST on macOS. Its the first release, I mainly built it for my own needs but i think some people might like it. you can find it here https://github.com/zackyusof/tone3000-plugin-effects
Hey everyone! I’m Samet, the developer of NAM A2 Recorder at Maya Apps. This is a promotional developer update, shared with moderator permission.
I posted here before launch. Since then, I’ve been working on making the app more useful as a guitar and bass practice rig. I wanted to show one workflow in particular:
I record one dry riff into the PRE looper, then change NAM captures while the exact same performance keeps playing.
The PRE looper records your dry input before the processing chain. While the phrase repeats, you can put your instrument down and manually change NAM captures, cabinet IRs, EQ or effects.
My usual workflow is:
It’s particularly useful when you want both hands free to adjust the sound.
Captures can have different output levels, so start with your monitoring volume low when switching between them.
POST looping is also available: it records the processed sound for the usual looping and layering workflow.
The practice section now includes:
You can load your own NAM captures and cabinet IRs. Full access includes:
There’s also a basic compressor, a chromatic tuner, six-band EQ, USB/Bluetooth MIDI support, and DSP load monitoring and protection.
As a bass player, I’ve also tried to make the bass workflow useful. For example, parallel routing lets you blend a cleaner branch with a more driven amp-style branch.
The Bass EQ uses 80 Hz · 250 Hz · 500 Hz · 1.5 kHz · 3 kHz · 5 kHz.
My reference setup is a Samsung Galaxy S23 + Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, mainly with bass.
You’ll need a compatible 64-bit ARM Android device running Android 8.1 or newer, a class-compliant USB audio interface, and your own NAM/IR files.
Audio processing and recordings stay on the device. Latency, stability and processing capacity depend on your phone, interface, captures and settings, so please test your own rig before purchasing.
There are free core features, a cumulative 60-minute Full trial with online verification, and an optional one-time Full unlock. Full can be active on up to two Android devices.

The video was recorded before some of the newer practice features.
If you try it, I’d love to hear your phone model, Android version, audio interface, latency mode, capture type, and what worked or didn’t.
Would you use the PRE looper mainly for choosing captures, adjusting your tone, or testing effects? Happy to explain the routing or help with setup here.
I’m also offering three complimentary Full unlocks to people who would like to test NAM A2 Recorder with their own guitar or bass rig and publish a hands-on YouTube review.
If you’re interested, send me a Reddit DM with your YouTube channel, Android device, USB interface and a short idea of what you’d like to test. I’ll select three volunteers based on compatible hardware and a useful hands-on test plan, then confirm the arrangement privately.
Full access will be provided before testing. Your review is your own: honest criticism is welcome, and there is no requirement for a positive verdict, a Google Play rating or an upvote.
Please disclose in the video and description that the Full license was provided free of charge, and use YouTube’s paid-promotion disclosure.
The gift covers the app’s Full unlock; you’ll need your own hardware and NAM/IR files.
TONE3000 just pushed a pretty substantial update to their free NAM plugin and standalone app.
It’s also cool that a ton of the fixes/features came from open-source contributors. Open source!!!!!!

Curious if anyone here has tried the new version yet, especially the pitch shift. Would be cool to see/hear your results
Hi everyone. Having fed up with the poor quality in current guitar interfaces and effects processors, I've decided to build my own. I recently built firmware for a $3 chip that can run a NAM A2 Full and a cab plus 6 effects. You can read more about it here on this thread.
I decided to put it in a physical form factor, and having played guitar and owned tens of pedals in the last 25 years, I'm quite undecided about what would be the best form factor. So I'd like input from people who actually play through this kind of gear.
What it does: a guitar in (stereo so you can use break out cables), stereo out, a headphone out and USB-C audio to a computer. It runs up to 20 blocks of effects, including analog guitar synth and (hopefully, I'm still working on it) guitar to MIDI, plus up to 4 A2-Full captures and up to 8 A2-Lite captures on two DSP chips. You switch presets from the unit; editing happens in an app. Latency is around 2.6-3ms with the full chain on (~1ms when used as a direct interface), and I use a high-end ADC with 119dB dynamic range—trying to get it to a world class interface.
The three shapes I'm considering:
The three different shapes I'm thinking of
I myself lean towards a guitar mount, for whatever reason I'm still in love with the old Roland GK-3.
What I'd love to know:
Full disclosure: I'm the one building it. I'm not selling anything yet; I'm just trying not to build the wrong shape.
Edit: It will support Bluetooth MIDI by default. In which scenarios would you be interested in a physical MIDI input?
I dont need bluetooth, I just need sound quality, is sonicake 1 enough?
