    In my own experience it’s the best experience for NAM. Because of hardware quality and the incredibly fast low latency, on the most advanced (standard) quality captures. It’s really has that analog feel. Crazy for that price when you compare to kemper or fractal stuff with less convincing sounds. That’s also why they are selling that fast.

    • @CTBlaze
      @CTBlaze 24 дня назад

      I totally agree, yet many in NAM community complain about the price point, kinda being stuck in that "Open Source" paradigm, or ever comparing to Tonex, where IKM must have done a "special calculation" to enter mass market with price.
      I know that "musicians with a vengeance" and a heart/interest for modeling will always go for the better solution, be it re fidelity of the model, audio-technically, feature-wise or usability wise.

    That SLO sounds pretty good. a different guitar and that JCM sounds on the money also. Probably just need to get some captures of your own, as you said.
    I believe I'm sticking with Tonex (though IK software and manager both get on my nerves).
    This generation of the Dimehead is cool though, and that latency sounds super cool!!! like .5 they claim.
    (@17:05 "dial in your sh**, and get to work", has me re-thinking maybe getting it" - that was a good sales pitch and it does sound good!! lol)

    Hi Jarrod...you always make cool videos..Love your humour and your love for the 80's 90s Rock (Dokken etc...Lynch one of my fave players...STILL.)
    I know you are showing this interesting NAM player...BUT...I noticed something recently...
    WHERE did you get that Marshall power amp? This is something I have not seen since I started playing guitar Lol. Is Marshall making these again??
    I always make bad decisions . I should have bought one of those instead of trying other things. I had an ADA MP-2 and sold it like an idiot. That would have been a KILLER sound. I regret it.

      Thanks for commenting and for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the channel. Regarding your question, a friend of mine, Chris from Eva Under Fire let me borrow it for a week so that I can do some demos and videos with it. I'm also going to be doing some captures of the whole setup for tonex and quad cortex.

  • @seanmichael8411
    @seanmichael8411 27 дней назад

    Like to see a video with an honest comparison of the tonex, nam player, and qc . Capture the same amp with each and see which unit produced the most accurate capture.

    • @CTBlaze
      @CTBlaze 25 дней назад

      that's been done elsewhere before, with the NAM Plugin.
      The NAM Player provides same accuracy & fidelity!

    Hint: put a smooth light on the pedal / screen - since it's transflective, you can then see screen and pedal body/labels fine.

      In what sense do you find ToneX limited in conjunction with a multi FX unit?

    • @steveareton697
      @steveareton697 27 дней назад

      @@PippPriss I could be wrong , but I read his comment as saying that both the tone-x and this Nam thing are primarily great amp sims with limited on-board FX (which seems to be true) Jared almost always runs his tone-x through the HX FX with great results and he also says in this video that he hooked the Nam up to the same HX FX and "it worked perfectly". Problem, I think(?) that the tone-x is a LOT less expensive than this and I'm curious to see what the justification is for at least a few extra $100s needed. I'm guessing YT will be flooded with dozens of comparisons soon so I guess time will tell!

  • @jcugnoni
    @jcugnoni 28 дней назад

    I did a few comparison on PC between NAM, Tonocracy and ToneX, and concluded that NAM was near perfect both in terms of feel, dynamics and sound. ToneX sounded a bit more flat with a stiffer feel (more dirext, not much 'sag'). Tonocracy was pretty good, close to NAM and with a great interface. I hope that we will be able to use Tonocracy (or similarly simple) tool to capture NAM models in the future .

    • @PippPriss
      @PippPriss 27 дней назад

      NAM and Tonocracy are fairly similar. You can load NAM profiles into Tonocracy ,they are then indicated as Tonesnaps.
      But I guess NAM will somehow push through as a standard, similar to IRs. Might take 5 Years or so to get there, but it will eventually happen

  • @BlazonStone

    Seems like the stomp switches are close together = can be a risk of misclicking 2 at once in a gigging situation where you cannot calmly press exactly how you want

      It's always a compromise between board space and ease of use. You can easily connect an external MIDI controller to change presets.

    Imho the last 12months, the focus has shifted towards latency. Something the NAM Player is one of the lowest right now.

  • @BlazonStone
    @BlazonStone 27 дней назад

    Whats the latency on this?
    I bought a Hotone Ampero II Stomp that had a horrible 10ms latency and had to return it.
    The best latency seems to be Boss GT1000 (about 2ms) and Tonex One (1.5 ms)
    When pairing up with digital mixer for in-ear monitoring, this is really important, the Hotone is absolutely useless

    • @dimehead

      0.5 - 0.8ms depending on the NAM model.
