Nux Amp Academy Stomp

[KingsXJJ]

On the OG AA, I get along with four out of the nine amps on the gain side. JCM800, Friedman, SLO and Bogner Uber. On the clean side I like the Deluxe and love the Princeton. Just wish it had a killer Plexi.

It’s a neat practice box and can sound great. The FX loop is super sweet to if you stick to analog or low-latency digital effects. I usually throw in a simple delay like the Neunabor Echelon. It’s Fun.

Oh, Leo...

I do wonder if the AI voice goes away if his channel will loose some of the mojo lol.

If this thing can actually run native NAM profiles at that price, it'll be a winner.

That voiceover is...uh; something else

If it does, it’s just what I’ve been waiting for. I’d like too see Hotone offer it in their new Verbera form factor. I think it’s the “Neon” product series.

Unless he knows something we don't, no, the Amp Academy Stomp cannot (currently) run NAM profiles.

Im guessing Leo has been given an upcoming Beta FW which adds importing Nux-proprietary-converted NAM profiles.

 

[Lysander]

...maybe?

Taping over the Brand and Model hardly makes it an "Above Top Secret" device, given its been public for months but not "formally" available to buy :)

I'm excited because the AI voice said it's a "modal" profiler. The voice also asked "What it is gonna be?" Very hip with the street talk

To be fair, i reckon Nux and Hotone are the two brands who develop their own modelling for sure. The rest thou...

Welp, it's official. NUX has updated the page for Amp Academy Stomp with NAM support.

Looks like they're doing conversion (single-layer) to NAM profiles. Standard NAM profiles have 2 layers.

Yeah, this device uses NUX's new TSAC-4K component modelling engine. Interesting selection of pre- and power-amp emulations too, which can be mix & matched.

Better amp selection than the Tone Master Pro.

I'd say that both have a pretty average selection of amps.

Nice.

I use some of your capture work and greatly appreciate it. Can you educate me (us) on one layer versus two layers @2dor ?

It's really how deep (how many times it does feature extraction) the neural is; then each layer has its own size & hones in on specific frequency bands (or the entire spectrum). Some research talks about using cascading layers, each tuned to take care of a specific frequency band.

Anyone have an opinion on how Nux compares to the Hotone, Mooer, Valeton, etc offerings? I tried the Ampero Mini last year and aside from really cool form factor, it was a hard pass for me (both amp tones and effects). NAM compatibility has peaked my curiosity again.
