Coolest business card I've ever seen. It's a PCB for a 9v preamplifier. This is insanely clever.

I did another open capture pack of my guitar amp, this time with a Lewitt condenser mic and the DSL "classic gain" channel. Even though NAM can't learn room reverb, I've still seen others use a room mic and get cool results

Guitarists, did you know there's a way to try out what different (more powerful) power amps would sound like with your combo amp?
If you record your preamp-only tone from your FX loop, you can add in a power amp NAM capture for a more amp-like sound.

how little are we talking? I have a 5 watt Marshall I love (DSL5CR), but that still might be physically bigger than you are looking for.
For a portable practice solution I use Neural Amp Modeler to capture my amp + drive pedals, and I load these models on my Sonicake Ampcube or a pedal

As I've been dabbling more and more in NAM, I'm really starting to see that amps, mics, guitar pedals, etc. now have additional value for the models you can make with them
different players will still want tubes even with various digital options around

So I guess the TLDR on my board rn is that I can now fit a nice fuzz or a nice delay but not really both! I guess I'll see what happens. But I kind of used up all the slack in my board viewing it as a modular/adaptable system before I got rid of stuff no longer meeting any real need for me

Got rid of my ML-2 distortion and a cheap delay that didn't have enough headroom to use in my FX loop. For now, I think I'm actually suppressing GAS... I can record with delay in my DAW if I want/need to

Don't want to name the specific brand, but I saw an instrument maker's website crash from Super Bowl exposure. Seems like aggressive caching could have helped a lot since they were already on Cloudflare (that's the part that struck me as weird)
Classic last mile problems
Actually pretty happy with the high-gain pack I ended up with here! I captured my rig with various OD settings and mic placements.
gonna do cleans sometime and a version with room mic
NAM is really awesome tech

Confirmed I was underdriving the amp by not setting my reamp box hot enough π€¦ββοΈ
I think it sounds sick now that I uploaded a fixed model!
I might not have had the level high enough on the reamp box. It doesn't feel as lively as my actual amp or other models I've used tbh
Gonna have to keep experimenting
Uploaded my first two NAM models! I captured my amp (Marshall DSL5CR) boosted by a TS-808 style circuit with a couple different mic positions
feedback is more than welcome
I might have cut a little too much bass trying to get rid of flub in the room

maybe it's partly just nostalgia, but a lot of songs off the album Death Magnetic (Metallica) are wicked fun to play on guitar

I'll review it if/when I get one! looks really good on paper at least
I was never going to be the target buyer for the Quad Cortex Mini, but I think this amp from Blackstar is actually the coolest thing announced at/around NAMM 2026
Native support for Neural Amp Modeler! And signature Blackstar tones too
