If you guys want to check it out. Testing NAM in MGuitarArchitect, I built a MXXX preset based on this guy's way of doing it:
https://tonehunt.org/ArlingtonAudio/14e ... 6a8cbcdb28
The NAM profiles used are both gain 5 for Alpha and Omega.
There is a small difference in the EQ frequencies but still very close.
I made some buttons available on the quick view.
I think it's a great starting point to build all kinds of variations using your own NAM and/or MCabinet profiles.
EDIT: Updated this should work with MCabinet presets now.
If you would like to toy with these, tell me if it works for you importing those mpresets now that the NAM proiles are embedded into the MGuitarArchitect presets.

Added in the google drive link a mix of MicroXSVT and Alpha Omega SVT NAM profiles. I much prefer this but I'm a sucker for SVT on metal tracks.
I profiled a bunch of Devil's lab for MCabinet in the past, never really like them much but the Redneck profile fits well here.
I compared to all the metal bass in MGuitarArchitect and to me this sounds better for a metal track.

Its nice to see another bass player diving into MGA!
When I import the MGA presets, the NAM profile is not included in them. Similarly, when I load the MCabinet preset, the presets are all the same: no IR and 4 resonators active. Something is amiss... Without hearing it, I can at least comment on the setup.
The signal flow in MXXX looks correct. The same flow and controls could be built into MGA by using MTurboComp's Compressor device for the DI comp, if you wanted to keep it accessible to non-MXX users.
Comparing the TurboEQ from the MXXX preset to Blackice Beta Gamma's EQ, the high and low shelves are quite different. For the MPI550 device, a low of 50Hz and high of 2.5kHz match much better. Its probably a better option to use MTurboAmp's Input or Output EQ to model the graphic EQ section, so that the Q behavior can be accurate and people without MTurboEQ can use it.

Tx for your input importing those profiles seemed to work for me but no extended testing was done.
It's exactly what I was trying to test sharing those. I'm surprised that the cabinet ones don't work at least.
I'll toy with it further later on and see if I can make it work on secondary computer.
Guitar is my instrument but I need bass to make it sound right!
For the comp I was trying to keep it simple but yeah turbo means more options for sure. And yes i was trying to keep it more accessible.

I Imported on second computer and it worked for me. I would like to have a second opinion on this.
I did recreate the exact same folders before importing like in MXXX: "Bass" for the alpha omega and "SVT mix" for the SVT. I don't know if it has something to do with it.
In MGuitarArchitect also 2 folders: "MicroXSVT and Alpha Omega SVT" and "Darkglass Alpha and Omega NAM gain 5"
For the Cabinet profiles those always worked for me in any circonstance it loaded the right IR for the MXXX preset. The name does not show in MCabinet but I can clearly see the wave is the right one and sounds right also.
I Imported by mistake in the root folder all the Devil's Lab IRs and it worked like that also so maybe the folder structures have nothing to do with you not being able to load these ? I don't know...
