Growing up in the 90s, I couldn't even imagine have access to so much stuff like this to practice with and not having to own the really thing like you had to back them. I was lucky to have a Peavey Rage haha!

The accuracy of NAM is better (objectively, it's physically much more accurate) given training time. It's not just better 'cause it's free, it's better by actually being better. Also hopefully being free/open will inspire people to share their expensive rigs. I also think there needs to be some kind of standard metadata for the profiles like what the eq was set to and a rough signal chain description as it will help people manage their capture collections in the future when there are 1000's of them.

My two loves: music production and coding. God bless open-source software!

If they made this for iPad that would be really dope. You could literally fit your live rig into a single guitar bag in a pinch.

I'm glad your video about Danny isn't your most viewed video, you seem like a really nice guy and I love that that video isn't people's only impression of you!

what a time to be alive.. 30 years ago, you were lucky to have a DS-1 between your guitar and your marshall 5210 and the only sound variations you could create were by turning a few knobs

[matthewpublikum]

Usually the problem with convolution amps, is the dynamic change when picking hard on the strings or rolling back on volume isn't modeled accurately

[miguelangel_guitar]

Wow, man... I have a Kemper, Fractal FM3, Tonex, and multiple Neural DSP plugins... And let me tell you something.. This software sounds as good as those units. Thanks for sharing man, you got a new subscriber

A few days ago I was thinking to write a neural network based VST for doing such things and now it occur that it's already made! XD Definitely gonna check out this one!

[InTheSh]

It is GOOD that it's rudimentary! I don't need fancy graphics!😆

This is pretty exciting. A few years ago, I thought that we would eventually get a free, open source platform for making amp sims. I didn't predict that it would use AI, though. I didn't realy like the sounds in this video that much, but I'm interested in seeing this evolve.

I have two expensive hobbies: bedroom home studio and beer league hockey. I just bought a bunch of goalie gear so no spending money on music for a while for me. I'm not wealthy so it's encouraging to see more and more quality free and inexpensive music technology like this becoming available to us. Gonna try this out for sure.

[ImmortalDestructor]

Looking forward to seeing how this grows; open source is the way to go. I predict it will go through a name change to appease Neural DSP

[allrequiredfields]

Lol, that's the first time I've ever heard a JCM900 described as "crunchy". The 900 was like 20 years past their last crunchy-sounding amp.

The problem I have with this video: you compare a hardware unit vs a piece of software. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out the usage cases will not entirely overlap. As long as we're talking studio use - ok I get it. But for live use there is no comparison

[mjacket]

This video was great!! I clicked because the thumbnail was very nice, and then I recognized you from Danny's video. I was surprised with how well-edited, informative, and helpful this video was. Even comparing this video to the one shooting out pickups from a year ago, this video seems so much more professional (not to knock the pickup video its perfectly fine). You should be proud of how much this video is blowing up man, it definitely deserves all the attention. Good luck, and keep it up 😄

mod devices is/was working on a prototype that allowed you to give it an mp3 and it would grab the guitar sound afaik, the future is kewl.

[agentviktor]

It is also very unstable in FL Studio, so if you use that DAW and have the nerve and time, please report as much as you can, so it can improve :)

I had bias fx series for a long while, just went to Amplitube 5 and been loving it. Also been mixing multiple amps (logic pro) together, doing things like cutting gain in half and just doing all sorts of things to experiment. Amps with amps on top of more amps to get more amp sounds.

If I wanted to do this with real gear, i'd be real broke real quick!

For years I thought Kemper ought to bring out a compact unit that hosts profiles but isn’t a profiler at a much reduced cost; I think they would have sold like hot cakes but they have missed their window of opportunity: I recently heard about... I think it’s called NAMM (I’m not sure if it’s related to the trade show) which is basically a VST host for profiles. I actually thought such a thing already existed but perhaps not
