TONE3000 has released “TONE3000 Plugin”, an amp simulator plugin that is available completely free of charge.
In this article we cover the free download details and an overview of what TONE3000 Plugin can do.
1. What Is TONE3000 “TONE3000 Plugin”?
TONE3000 Plugin is a free NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) plugin for guitar and bass. It lets you call up one of the world’s largest libraries of NAM captures — amps, cabinets, pedals and outboard gear — along with impulse responses (IRs), directly from inside the plugin and start playing right away. It runs both as a plugin inside your DAW and as a standalone application without a DAW.
The usual workflow of downloading capture files from a website, organizing them on your computer and loading them into a third-party plugin is no longer necessary. You simply pick a tone inside the plugin and start playing, which is the biggest selling point of TONE3000 Plugin.
The modeling engine is based on “NAM A2”.
