Neural Amp Modeler

I was pleasantly surprised to find out today that The Dumble Preservation Society has created a set of A2 models of the MegaPLX 0006-03, available for purchase here.

Yesterday, HeadRush released Firmware 5.1 for its Prime, Core, and Flex Prime units.

Today, I'm releasing Architecture "A2", NAM's new standard neural network recipe for modeling guitar and bass amps.

Published: April 30, 2026 NAM impact: NAM’s training code depends on PyTorch Lightning.

We're one step closer to A2 today, and I've released an update to NeuralAmpModelerCore, version 0.5.0: https://github.com/sdatkinson/NeuralAmpModelerCore/releases/tag/v0.5.0 Builders interested in how A2 works should aim to support core version 0.5.0 or l…

Progress on Architecture A2 has been coming along well, and I'm pretty happy with the results that we've gotten out of Stage 4 of the work (optimizing A2).

This post is part of a series on Architecture A2 .

Update 2026-02-12: The test models have been updated to "v4" to fix some identified issues.

In order to assist with Stage 2 of the Architecture A2's development , I've (finally!)

Update 2026-01-29: v0.4.0.rc2 is released with some updates.
