NAM Captures is a groundbreaking open-source format designed to deliver hyper-realistic digital models of today’s most beloved guitar drive circuits and amps. Built on the powerful Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) engine, this format captures the soul of analog gear with stunning fidelity—perfect for studio sessions, live performances, and production workflows.
Meticulous Tone Profiling
Every pedal and amp in the NAM Captures library has been profiled at its most musical sweet spots, using a neutral EQ curve to preserve the authentic character of the hardware. From classic overdrives to boutique distortions, each capture reflects the nuanced dynamics and saturation that guitarists crave.
Powered by Neural Amp Modeler
NAM uses deep learning to model gear based on real audio input-output pairs, bypassing traditional circuit emulation. The result is a tone that feels alive—responsive, organic, and indistinguishable from the real thing. Whether you're recording in a DAW or performing live with compatible hardware, NAM Captures delivers uncompromising realism.

Note: All audio demos are the same recording created with a custom thinline jazzmaster with Lambertones Cremas in the neck and bridge positions. The guitar was plugged into the Hi-Z input of an Apollo X series interface with the gain at 0.
