Steven Atkinson Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) v0.7.8 is a free amp-modeling effect for producers and guitarists who want to work with neural amp models inside their DAW. Rather than generating notes like a synthesizer, it processes incoming audio, making it relevant to guitar recording and production sessions where an amp-modeling stage is needed.

This package lists Windows support and the VST3 format, with a download size of 51 MB. It suits Windows users running VST3-compatible hosts such as FL Studio or Ableton Live. Although the broader project also references an AudioUnit plug-in, the format listed for this package is VST3; Logic users should check for a compatible macOS version instead.

Built with the iPlug2 framework, NAM has a public GitHub project, and a separate NAM model repository is available for exploring models. For hobby producers putting together a software-based guitar setup, it offers a free option to investigate without purchasing an amp-modeling plug-in. Check the project documentation for installation guidance and model requirements before adding it to your session.
