In collaboration with Wavemind audio plugins and our team at The Ampsim Universe and Luan Albani doing the GUI design, we present to you NAM Universal. We have taken Steve Atkinson's Neural Amp Modelder code and expanded upon it with the most asked for feature requests people wish NAM had. We have given you additional modules to help easily sculpt your guitar tone before it leaves the plugin.
Available for PC/MAC in VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone versions. This plugin is completely free, no hidden copy protection, no hassle, just download and install.

Features:
- True Stereo In and Out - Now you can route guitar tracks to a bus/send with NAM Universal on it, and keep the stereo panning relationship of tracks. Now you can use stereo effects into NAM-U such as modulation/delay etc. Did you want to use studio gear preamps/tape/colour profiles on a stereo drum track/bus without loading two instances?...now you can
- Tuner
- Preset saving/recall
- Pedal Profile Loader - load your NAM pedal capture or a preamp
- Instigator Module - This is a modeled tonestack from a Mesa Boogie MK2C+ amp head. It is great for fattening clean and low gain tones, or brightening a dark amp/cab profile or IR. It adds gain and EQ shaping whenever enabled
- Amp Profile Loader - This is your normal standard NAM amp profile loader. Load an amp profile, or if using a preamp profile in the Pedal Profile Loader module, use this to load in a power amp capture. Normalization will happen if the content/profile creator has that enabled within the specific profile.
- The AGGRAVATOR Module - The TIGHT is not a full frequency range compressor but a simplified one knob Andy Sneap Waves C4 trick tailored to duck only a narrow range of the overbearing resonant low end bass frequencies you get from when you do chugs/palm mutes. It keeps them in, just lowers the volume of them, and a little goes a long way.
The SMOOTH knob does the same dynamic EQ thing, only acting as a de-esser to control higher harsh high-mid and treble frequency areas.
They interact a lot with the OOMPH ( adds bass) and SPARKLE (adds highs) knobs and you can kind of do the Pultec EQ bass mixing technique to add harmonics and also tame the resonance of the boosts.
- Dual Impulse Response Loader - for cabinet speaker IRs
- Input - Gate (Wavemind's noise gate) - Output
- FEEDBACK - If you experience any issues/bugs or have feature requests etc, hit the FEEDBACK button in the lower left corner and you will send an email directly to Chris at Wavemind
This is Version 1, which is FREE. There will be a paid Version 2 in the near future with a lot more modules and features/customization.
