RAY F. BADNESS - SPECIAL EFFECTS IMPULSE RESPONSE (IR) MODELS : Tiny Amp Tones

Want the sound of a tiny amp from your NAM amp models ?

Sometimes tiny combo-style amplifiers (i.e. practice amps, etc.) can make great sounding lead guitar tones, or even rhythm guitar tones. That's where these custom impulse response (IR) models from RFB come in. They can morph NAM amp models into sounding like overdriven practice amps or smaller amps.

Who are these custom special effects Impulse Response (IR) models for ?

They are for modern digital-guitarists/musicians who want to EASILY change the character of their present NAM models.

Nothing changes with how you run NAM. There aren't any new or complicated apps to install or learn here. What's more, installing additional software can risk slowing the signal processing capabilities of your computer. And who wants that ?! Do you really want to add another IR app or plug-in to your rig ?

Unlike many IR modelers and loaders on the market today, the beauty of the NAM software is that the graphical user interface (GUI) is dirt-simple. These custom IR models don't change that.

There are no new apps to install or master here. Just select one of the custom impulse response (IR) models from the set and enter it into the NAM GUI.

What's the story behind these custom Impulse Response (IR) models ?

Tiny amps rock. Everybody knows it. RFB sought a simple way to get some tiny amplifier tones without changing NAM models. This IR set can take NAM amp models into new degrees of overdriven tiny-ness.

These custom Impulse Response models from RFB are not available anywhere else.

Where do you get the FREE NAM software plugin (VST or AU) to play the custom models ?

At github.

What if you don't like using complex DAW's to run VST/AU plug-ins ?

You're in luck ! For dirt-simple usage, Steve Atkinson's NAM software runs standalone on Mac's and PC's (no DAW required). The NAM models also plug-in to Apple's MainStage app, and standalone VST plug-in players. Another simple option is to use the FREE audio editor Audacity. And if you like stomp boxes, some of them support NAM models. There is even an online player at www.thenam.online

How do you use the NAM Graphical User Interface (GUI) ?

After launching the NAM software/plug-in, there are 3 easy steps :

• Select your NAM model by entering the name in the top box of the NAM GUI.
• In the bottom box, select the name of your special effects (SFX) impulse response model (i.e. the wav files included).
• Adjust the input volume knob to change the break-up character of the model. NOTE : Single-coil and humbucker pickups typically produce different break-up dynamics and character.
