Summary

Calibrated profiles (STANDARD & xSTD architectures) showcase the amp’s tone range.

AMP, POW, and PRE profiles capture maximum flexibility and accuracy using a high-quality signal chain.

AMP and POW profiles use a real Mesa 4x12 Oversized Straight cabinet for the most faithful experience.

This full pack covers all 3 modes (Clean, Crunch, & Crush) and includes:

• 70 x AMP profiles (1 x DI and 9 mic-ed up, full-rig flavors for every knob combination used)
• 50 x PRE profiles
• 42 x POW profiles (1 x DI and 9 mic-ed up, full-rig flavors for every knob combination used)
• 20 x OD pedal profiles

Total: 1,190 individual NAM files.

All profiles are trained twice in STD and xSTD architectures, resulting in 2,380 individual NAM files with xSTD accounted for.

Thanks for doing what you do. Quality free NAM captures give the platform some credibility.

Thanks a lot!

I think this amp's the "producer's amp" - just sits very well in a mix, ticks all the right boxes.

I've got this coming up next:
