NAMper: Live Guitar Amp & FX

NAMper turns your iPhone or iPad into a complete rig for guitar, bass and vocals: amps computed from their circuits, Neural Amp Modeler captures of real gear, studio effects, a looper, a sampler, sets of songs with backing tracks and stems, a mixer and full MIDI control. Free, with no ads, no subscriptions and no account.

AMPS & TONES
• HyperReal: 18 amps computed from their circuits, from the tubes and tone stack to the output transformer and speaker. A live schematic shows every stage at work
• HyperReal pedals and studio gear: seven overdrives, distortions and fuzzes, a tube program EQ and a variable-mu limiter
• Each one is drawn as its own hardware, no download needed: an amp's plate over its panel, a pedal in its paint with its LED and footswitch, a rack unit
• Three qualities: Studio, Live and Lite. Lite computes the circuit up to the phase inverter and plays a capture of the power stage; a device that cannot keep up steps down to Lite by itself
• Silent switching, and stereo that follows its feed
• Mods: swap a circuit's tubes, parts and switches; load amp files of your own
• Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) captures of real amps, pedals and cabinets, and thousands of free tones from TONE3000 right inside the app
• Ten Shift Line cabinets built in; your own .nam files and impulse responses
• Basic: seven light amp models that work offline, and 128 factory presets ready to play
• Capture your own amp or pedal, then train it on the device or send it to TONE3000

FREE PACKS
• Speller: describe a sound — an artist, a song, or “high gain with a compressor and a floating reverb” — type it, say it or ask Siri, and get takes ready to play. Built on your TONE3000 captures or HyperReal amps, offline
• Skinner: HyperReal amps and pedals as live 3D panels; tilt the device and the panel turns with it
• Stem splitter: a song splits into drums, bass, vocals, guitar, keys and the rest, on the device
• Download them in Settings › Packs

RIG BUILDER
• Drag-and-drop chain: gate, compressor, drive and fuzz, parametric EQ with dynamic bands, graphic EQ, Cut, wah, octaver, harmonizer, autotune, pitch shifter, delays, eight reverbs, modulation, vocoder and more
• Presets for every block; 1 to 16 scenes per rig
• Parallel chains and up to four rigs at once, each on its own input and output
• Audio Unit effects in the chain, with MIDI learn

LOOPER & SAMPLER
• The looper is a block in the rig: four cells in time, undo by layer, reverse, ½ to ×8 speed, a loop editor and 27 factory drum grooves
• The sampler is a block too: 16 pads, kits as its presets, an acoustic kit made from real drums

SETS & MIX
• Sets of songs with backing tracks, lyrics and automation; one song can sit in several sets
• Stems: in Perform a song's parts are tracks under it, each with mute, solo and level
• The click follows the song's own beats; time signatures from 2/2 to 7/16
• The Mix tab: a strip for each rig, loop, the sampler, the click, the backing track and each stem, with waveforms and meters
• Master effects, LUFS metering and multitrack recording

CONTROL
• MIDI learn on any control and channel; Bluetooth MIDI; MIDI out and MIDI clock
• Sound triggers: a knock on the body, a note or a chord fires the pads and the looper
• Chromatic and polyphonic tuner
• USB audio interfaces with multichannel inputs and outputs

AUDIO UNIT PLUG-IN
• NAMper runs as an Audio Unit in hosts on iPhone and iPad and looks just like the app

NAMper is free forever. If it earns a place on your pedalboard, there is a tip jar inside.
