Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) is a Python project that trains neural network models to emulate guitar amplifiers and exports them as .nam files. A companion plugin repo provides real-time playback of these models as a standalone app or audio plugin.
Use cases
- emulate guitar amplifiers with neural networks
- train amp models from audio captures
- create .nam files for amp simulation
- run neural amp models in real time as a VST plugin
- capture and clone the tone of a physical amp
- build digital amp profiles for music production
When to choose
- you want to model a guitar amp or pedal from recorded audio
- you need a free, open-source alternative to commercial amp-capture tools
- you want to train custom amp models in Python and use them in a DAW
When to avoid
- you need general-purpose audio processing rather than amp modeling
- you want a ready-made amp simulator without training your own models
- you lack audio capture gear or training data
