A sound in mind.
A rig in reach.

Ask for an artist-inspired sound, a genre or a character. Review an editable proposal, keep particular blocks locked, and ask for a variation. Built-in recipes and the bundled local model plan offline. Set up the verified Qwen model in Assistant settings, or use the offline installer. Ollama, LM Studio and compatible cloud providers are optional.

The assistant selects available compatible captures. It does not invent a model, reproduce an artist’s exact recording or send your guitar audio to the language model.

Dynamics, drive and fuzz, octave fuzz, octaver, pitch bend/drop, ring modulation, wah, tremolo, phaser, flanger, chorus, bit crushing, EQ, delay and reverb. Add, move, bypass or remove blocks; adjust capture input gain, output and wet/dry mix. Keep an amp-only capture paired with a cabinet IR, or use an already captured full rig.

NAM A2 Full / Lite and normalization controls are available per compatible model. Spectral pitch tools currently add about 64 ms of wet-signal delay.

Double-click a chain block to open its hardware view. Turn controls directly, type a value or use keyboard and fine adjustments. Source photos and original Buffle surfaces make the chain easier to recognize. Browse the author’s captured model variants and settings notes from the hardware editor.

A static capture preserves the captured hardware settings. Editable input, output and mix controls are not a recreation of every original amp knob.

Search TONE3000 by hardware name and capture type. Browse photos, creator notes, original gear information and licenses, then choose the exact model in a capture pack. Import local NAM and IR files and reuse saved captures offline.

Amp, pedal, cabinet and full-rig information remains attached to the model. TONE3000 login is required for authenticated library access.

Drag blocks freely in the workbench. Split into two paths for multiple amps and cabinets, with pan, solo, polarity and balance. Connect the output of any source block to the input of any block on the other path. Open Routing & EQ for branch mixing, phase and timing controls, stereo spread and global tone shaping. Input/output meters and the main-toolbar chromatic tuner help you set up before playing.

The standalone app exposes device, channel and buffer settings; a DAW manages the plugin’s audio device.

Save and load presets, undo or redo edits, and restore the rig with your DAW session. Store two complete rigs in A/B, including their captures, settings and routing, and keep both copies when the app or DAW session reopens. Host automation exposes block parameters to your DAW.

The app’s rig A/B is a snapshot comparison. The website demos are separately loudness-matched exports; automatic loudness matching is not claimed for live rig A/B.

Quick Capture brings hardware and interface profiles, manual setup, wiring diagrams and calibration notes together. Verify the official NAM stimulus, select physical send/return channels, record, inspect clipping and invalid samples, then train locally with NAM A2.

Follow training progress, cancel a job, render the result and import the model. Compare aligned, level-matched reference and model excerpts with waveform, correlation and residual-error measurements.

Standalone beta workflow. Supported profiles are curated, a compatible Python trainer is required, and physical capture accuracy still needs hardware validation. No “100% identical” score is promised.

Play through the standalone app or use the same native engine in your DAW. The Apple Silicon development installer packages the Mac app, Audio Unit, VST3 and local AI runtime. The offline installer also includes the verified language model. Provider credentials and the TONE3000 session use macOS Keychain.

macOS 14+. Development beta; the installer is not notarized. See the release notes for tested scope and current limitations.
