NAM Profiles & Custom IRs

Why Boutique Tones for NAM

Only real gear. Every profile comes from original analog equipment. We don't profile modelers or plugins, and we don't use loadboxes: every amp is played through our own collection of cabinets, microphones and studio outboard.

Trained for accuracy. Our NAM profiles are trained at 1000 epochs, for the closest possible match to the real amp.

Made by players and engineers. Professional session players dial in and play the amps, sound engineers handle the profiling chain. The result sits in a mix the moment you load it.

Search less, play more. We select a small number of amps and pedals, and a small number of tones per pack. Each one has a clear purpose, so you spend your time playing, not auditioning.

Official artist packs. Some packs are made together with the artists who own the sound, and every official pack is approved by the artist or brand behind it: BT Justin Derrico, BT Eric Steckel and the official Mezzabarba packs.

DI Profiles and Custom IRs

Our NAM packs are DI Profiles: the amp is profiled on its own, and the cabinet comes as Custom IRs recorded in the same session and voiced for that amp. Start with our IRs to hear the reference sound of the pack, then swap them or use the amp with your own IR library. Several packs offer more than one cab option on the product page, from a curated essentials set to the original matching cabinet recreated as IRs. All our IRs are minimum phase, so they blend cleanly with each other and with third-party IRs.

A1 and A2 profiles

A2 is the newer NAM architecture, A1 the original one. Many of our packs include both, our latest packs are made in A2, and the product page shows which versions each pack includes. Check that your NAM player or device supports A2 before choosing an A2-only pack.

Where you can play them

• NAM plugin, standalone or inside your DAW, on your computer.
• Headrush Prime, Core and Flex Prime with firmware 5.1 or later: they play NAM profiles natively, A1 and A2, one profile at a time. Load the pack folder into the Neural Amp Modeler folder and the IRs into Impulse Responses/User.
• Ampero II, II Stage and II Stomp, through their NAM integration: choose the Ampero version on the product page, which also includes preset templates.
• Other NAM players and pedals should load our profiles, but we can't guarantee an identical result on hardware we don't test: some lower-powered devices reduce the profile resolution. To hear the reference sound, try the profiles first in the free NAM plugin.
