I went on there and grabbed a few tones to try with my GP-5. Easy to use even though it was my first time on the site. I didn't even look at any of the guides. Just downloaded a few tones and was off and running. I'll check those guides out though.

Edit: or not lol

Edit 2: that was the get-started link. The others work. And the "Get Started" link on the 404 page works.

Edit 3: the correct link looks to be https://www.tone3000.com/guides/get-started-with-tone3000

Sorry about that! Thanks for catching. I updated the previous message.

We’re launching a beginner-friendly guide that shows how to capture Neural Amp Modeler profiles of your amps, pedals, outboard gear, and signal chains using the sweep signal method.

Next up, we’ll release guides covering the dry/wet method.

Now we're launching a beginner-friendly guide that shows how to capture Neural Amp Modeler profiles of your amps, pedals, outboard gear, and signal chains using the Dry/Wet method. Unlike the Sweep Signal method, you don't need a reamp box: just something to split your signal (like a tuner pedal) and an interface with two inputs.

You can also use this method with old sessions! If you have previously recorded dry and wet stems from an old session, you can upload those instead of recording new ones. I've personally done this from sessions that are 10+ years old!

Hmm… I’d guess old sessions wouldn’t work as well as specialized training files—unless those sessions have some really weird-ass guitar parts!

Likely.
I'll be giving it a try with some "standard" guitar parts later on, though - and then check what the captures will be like in case I'm playing something pretty different and use a different guitar.

They work just fine, especially if you're going to be playing similar parts. Try it!

TONE3000 and Steve Atkinson are partnering to launch the next generation of Neural Amp Modeler. It's called A2 and it will be a more efficient architecture that will run on more devices and sound even better. The key innovation: no more standard/feather/nano versions. NAM files now automatically scale to match your device's processing capabilities. One NAM captures adapts to any hardware, from high-powered computers to resource-constrained pedals.

Thrilled to announce that Blackstar has unveiled the Beam Mini – the world's first amplifier to natively support Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) via direct integration with TONE3000. The Beam Mini will support Architecture 2, the next generation of Neural Amp Modeler.

Oh wow! Who would've thought that Blackstar would lead that race.

Now give me a small, pedalboardfriendly pedal along the lines of a Tonex One.

So I wonder if Blackstar is bankrolling this 'free' retraining to A2 effort? Looks like this is using the A2 stuff because it is more efficient on the player side.

Kind of interesting seeing something so 'low end' supporting NAM directly when existing high end hardware cannot support A1. I wonder if the A2 stuff would open the door for @FractalAudio to support it on AxeFx III (or other units like Stadium) to run this flavor of profile in block. They almost certainly have more DSP than this thing.

 

[Chocol8]

Looks like this is using the A2 stuff because it is more efficient on the player side.

How much it is due to A2 being more efficient vs A2 allowing the player to scale down quality without needing a conversion like the existing solutions is yet to be seen, but I would be shocked if this device is running A2 native at max quality.

That checks out after messing having the Beam Solo for the last week. I’m guessing (GUESSING) that the “Ampton” models in there of non-Blackstar amps are some sort of capture. The controls are not super functional, similar to my experience with NAM. Their 5150 model has basically the exact same amount of gain at 2 as it does at 10.
