Mayerism

Mayerism is an open-source plugin inspired by John Mayer's signature tones. Built on top of the NeuralAmpModelerPlugin, it focuses on faithfully recreating the feel and response of Mayer's most iconic amplifiers, paired with a carefully curated pedalboard for expressive, touch-sensitive playing.

Mayerism is designed as a single, cohesive guitar plugin. The goal is not endless options, but a ready-to-go platform that allows players to quickly achieve the inspiring tones of the last true guitar hero, without sacrificing feel, touch, or musical dynamics.
