I'm so tired of seeing almost constant YouTube ads for garbage AI slop music!

I've been having a lot of fun trying out different combinations of guitar pedal captures in Tone3000's plugin! It's very convenient (compared to downloading and organizing NAM and IR files separately)

Just stumbled on the niche community of church musicians reviewing guitar pedals on YouTube and their contents are refreshingly honest and earnest They are sorta the perfect combination of hobbyists who don't have huge budget or demand studio quality but also real musicians who perform live weekly

NAM A2 (in full, lite, and converted forms) keeps coming to more modeling pedals and practice amps. Here are some that caught my eye with firmware/app updates in the last couple weeks: tubesandcode.studio/posts/headru... #guitarPedals #neuralAmpModeler

Sandoval/Cervantes custom doubleneck

This Explorer-shaped 12/6 doubleneck guitar was built by Karl Sandoval (who built Randy Rhoads' original polka dot V) and Dave Cervantes (who designed and built guitars for Yamaha). The body has fortunately been chambered to save the back of anybody that plays it. Each neck has three humbuckers, and they're controlled by a master volume, a master tone, a 5-way blade switch for each neck, and a 3-way neck selector switch. The 12-string headstock is split 6/6, and the 6-string headstock is a normal banana-shaped 6-in-line. There's a picture of Speed Racer on the body, with the caption "Go Speed Racer Go!".

Quality from this multi-fx isn't as good as A2, but I'm still glad I have it because i still frequently end up wanting to play guitar at like 3:30 am w/o setting up my interface lol

Increasingly, gear brands and retailers seem to be embracing NAM and TONE3000 as a part of their marketing strategy for guitar/bass pedals and amps. I examined this trend in an article on my site. I think it actually accelerates the democratization of tone. tubesandcode.studio/posts/nam-fo...

I really think I like making electronic music with the guitar more than I like playing the thing straight. The only time I’ve ever moved myself to tears with my own music is from computer manipulated sounds. It’s not for everyone, but man you can take it some places.

I saw some interesting comments on IG the other day about how some guitarists prefer Neural DSP over Neural Amp Modeler because they need support when touring/gigging. That is a good concern to have, but it's also where companies offering NAM hardware have a chance to shine! #guitarsky

Creating art requires balancing so many axes of contradiction: Exploration/playfulness vs. locked-in focus/productivity Leaping outside your comfort zone vs. building reps inside it Authenticity vs. aspiration Belief in your individual vision vs. openness to collaboration Just gotta embrace it!

"During his lifetime, Woody Guthrie saw America at ground level, riding boxcars, singing in taverns and on street corners, and even living for a time in a California migrant camp . . ." Guthrie protested inequality and championed social justice, using folk music as a vehicle for change.

I'm getting ready to move, and part of that is throwing away things that I don't need like my (now broken) first amp from my childhood. It now sits in a dump, but luckily I "preserved" by modeling it with NAM! #guitarsky #guitaramps #neuralampmodeler tubesandcode.studio/posts/i-capt...

I thought it was great before, so A2 is icing on the cake, rather than abetter tasting cake. But more importantly, from a user experience, while the newly named Gateway plugin looks identical to the older one, but seems to work better!

On this day in 2010, Rage Against the Machine played an historic free concert in London to celebrate the track 'Killing In The Name' becoming the UK Number 1 single 📸 : @tracyh.bsky.social

A high-energy, wide-angle shot of Zack de la Rocha performing at an outdoor music festival in London, England.

The main subject, leaning forward in a dynamic crouch on a black stage monitor, sings passionately into a black microphone. He has voluminous, curly, dark hair and is wearing a rust-red, short-sleeved button-up shirt, dark grey pants, and dark sneakers. The monitor wedge under his foot is outlined with a strip of bright neon-green tape.

To the right, on the stage, several crew members and onlookers stand in the shaded wings near stage equipment and a tall, white fabric stage structure. An empty silver microphone stand is positioned nearby.

To the left and stretching far into the background is an enormous, densely packed crowd of spectators. The venue is outdoors, framed by lush green trees on the left, with white event tents and a brick building visible in the distance. The sky overhead is a cool, overcast blue-grey, suggesting dusk or an overcast day. The overall atmosphere is intense and lively, with a cool color palette punctuated by the warm red of the singer's shirt. Photo taken by Tracy Morter.
