Gianni Chiarello wrote in to introduce his growing collection of audio plugin designed to offer an open-source alternative to guitar amp and pedal software such as IK Multimedia’s TONEX.
Nice Stomps! connects directly to the NAM / TONE3000 community from inside your DAW, allowing users to browse and audition guitar amp and pedal profiles in the context of their own session and gear instead of downloading blindly.
AmpBrowser and StompBrowser bring thousands of free amplifier and pedal profiles directly into your DAW through an intuitive search-and-load interface.
Powered by Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) technology and connected to the Tone3000 community library, you can instantly access classic and modern amps by simply searching by brand, model, or amp type.
The plugin collection also includes:
- EasyAmp: NAM-powered guitar amp plugin designed to bring back simplicity and joy to recording.
- DelayChorus: Turns a simple plugin interface into a powerful, tempo‑synchronised delay and chorus powerhouse.
- CaliforniaDrive: NAM-powered overdrive pedal for players who want character without complexity.
The Nice Stomps! plugins are available to download in VST3 and AU formats for Windows and Mac. Donations are appreciated.
