Dear 2dor, I had some time this weekend to play and explore a bit your Badlander NAM pack. Well just wow… wow… I have never measured the power of NAM and the power of amp profiling until I played with this pack. This is the closest it never got to playing my real amps. Incredibly satisfying. People like you are a gift to our community 🙏
All that effort that he has done and A lot of folks have done is just beyond generous. The enthusiasm is Infectious. I need to make some better captures of my setup sometime.
Came back blown up by ALL 2dor's captures. Among your work, Tim R, Raksha & Sascha I've found 5 endless sources of unlimited super quality amplification. Beyond your great iRs I'm tryin' all of it through Quantum Speakers too, I still can't believe all of it.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I am also constantly blown away by what we have nowadays in regard of sonic tools at our disposal. Music unfortunately makes barely any money nowadays, but on the other hand it also costs next to nothing to get quality products made by yourself. So music becomes more of an catharsis than anything else. :-)
The packs also have a few IRs that try to step into something the Fractal Audio gear does: > adjusting the frequency response of the power amp to that of various cabinet loads attached to it. I did this because I can't really blast amps loud (for now) through cabs so I shoot most profiles through a reactive load. Sweeping the FX Return of the amp with the loadbox & each cab attached is something I *CAN* do as it doesn't take too long (or long enough to get the cops called on me lol). Those sweeps then get deconvolved (like an IR really) between the "poweramp + loabox" .wav and the "poweramp + cab" .wav. The resulting IR can be used after the NAM profile and before (or after as it's linear anyway) your regular speaker IR (or Quantum Speaker in this case). These IRs help bring in some of that character the amp has when a real cab is hooked to its speaker out. Loadbox was the St.Rock React:IR 2 and the real cabs are my Mesa 2x12 Recto Horizontal, my 4x12 Mesa Oversized Straight as well as with both of them hooked up to the 4 ohm speaker outputs. Pfew...
Excellent video. I love all the passion and detail behind these NAM captures and the community in general. 2dor is awesome. If you've not tried his Ceriatone packs, give them a spin. cheers
Fantastic pack it was an instant DL for me the day it dropped. I must say this is the most detailed release ever. Like you I appreciate the details. Also a long time nam user not as long as you but close. 😂 I bought a ROG Alley hand held gaming PC. I'm gonna see if I can run nam on it to make a portable pedal board. I know there's other options out but this should be a fun experiment. I plan on doing like this Overdrive/boost, ROG Alley, 2notes cab m+ then one of my frfr,s maybe even my pa set flat. Should be cool to try it out.
Woah, let us know how it turned out! Sounds interesting, although I am a bit sceptical if that machine can properly handle NAM, but it's all about the Journey, right ;-)
Really nice work by 2dor documentating what he did but I feel like this exactly the limitation of NAM. There should be a way to profile the gain knob of an amp just like Proteus does. The EQ modeling is already okay, it's just the gain knob I want to have more control over.
Steve showcased a Parametric OD pedal can be done. If there's going to be a framework presented on how to tackle those in NAM, I might have a stab at it.
Thank you so much for the video. Incredible content from 2dor !! This is just mind blowing. I would have a question 😊 I can see that you decrease the input to match the dBu in the amp profile block. I usually was decreasing the global input. Is this the same as decreasing the amp block ? Thanks a lot in advance
Would love to check it out but since i installed the latest nam version it stopped working 🤷 anyone else having Issues? Running cubase 13 on mac m1 v15 os..
Really appreciate the shout out Pipp!
It was truly a labor of love - 5.65 GB of reamp files!!
Great & tight playing!
🤘
the amount of work and documentation for a pack is absolutely insane, kudos! 🙌 great tones here Phil too
Thank you for the kind words! Again, legend material what we got here!
Thanks for the work!

@@adilO.o thank you very much Adil!

It's crazy, we live in bestest of times to be a guitar player hobbyist!
better earlier than later 😊

Thanks buddy! Those amps are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the kind words, and yes, Tudor is a valueable asset to the community!
Woah! I was already aware of Tudor's packs and saw posts about this one, but I had no idea how much was in there 🤯
It's incredible!
Great vídeo and hats off for 2dor
Thanks for the kind words! Truly, hats off to Tudor!
I enjoy this content, and it's very helpful. Keep up the hard work.
Thank you so much! I will continue to soldier on! 🙂
@@PippPriss would be cool if you do one on the St.Rock REACT:IR 2 and the frequency response matching if you make up on the sleep 😁
@@TudorAdrian That will definitely happen. Just so much on my to-do-list, that will have to still wait a bit until I get to it.

Well, if you are a madman like Tudor and you make profiles of all different type of settings, then you are settled :-)
@@PippPriss but if you do all this work, the next step would be a full gain knob and EQ modeling.
Thank you so much for the video. Incredible content from 2dor !! This is just mind blowing.
I would have a question 😊
I can see that you decrease the input to match the dBu in the amp profile block. I usually was decreasing the global input. Is this the same as decreasing the amp block ? Thanks a lot in advance
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, does basically not matter where in the chain you set the input, as long as it's before the amp.
Thanks a lot for the clarification and thank you so much for everything you do for our Guitar players community!! 🙌
Would love to check it out but since i installed the latest nam version it stopped working 🤷 anyone else having Issues? Running cubase 13 on mac m1 v15 os..
Damn! Can you get the previous version to run? Have not heard of this issue so far...
Might wanna make tones over talking
You got a point, I do talk too much in my videos. But unfortunately I like talking, explaining and communicating, so don't expect that changing ;-)
No we don't
True. But you should, because it's a very cool pack. :-)
