Tonocracy | New Plugin with Modeling, Captures & More 

NAM is becoming what IR is for cabs but for amp captures!!!❤❤

As a VERY early adopter of NAM I am so stoked to see its integration in a commercial product like this.

Relegating the training to the cloud is such an obvious next step that other manufacturers are going to have to follow to compete, I feel. Incidentally, that PRS trem does flicks / flutters really well!

The Tonocracy captures are everything I was hoping the Quad Cortex was going to be. I'm really blown away by this software right now. I finished taking a snapshot and when I was prompted to audition it I was trying to figure out how to toggle over to the capture from my amp until I realized I was playing the capture!

Dear Leon, Ever since you hipped me to NAM, I've been using it for all my session work. I have a few favorite custom captures that some excellent capture makers graciously made for me with the amp's EQ and gain staging dialed in to my exact settings. I haven't touched a guitar amplifier or had to adjust the EQ or gain levels on any amps or amp modelers during the last several months. I cannot tell you how liberating this has been. Removing the process of messing with guitar amps or modelers has left a lot of space to focus my attention on just solving musical problems. I have you to thank you for this and I am truly grateful to you! Now, how exciting is this plugin from Tom King, who has decided to utilize the breakthrough technology in this plugin, which to my ears sounds exactly like a real amp and nothing like a modeler. I've come to expect that level of accuracy from this technology developed by Steve Atkinson. Hopefully, this is a preliminary step to Tom releasing a new pedal that plays high quality NAM captures.

So cool that it lets you use NAM captures! Really excited to dig into this

Diggin the Marshall sounds. Hollow, tubey goodness and great Drive/Overdrive. Best Regards and Best Wishes!

Sounding great, Leon! Thanks.

Cheers Leon, always a nice part of my day when your videos pop up

It seems like every couple of months pass...and a company brings out new developments and add them to technology we all only have just got to grips with😂 very awesome time for guitar lover's.

It would be great to hear your take on captures of various kinds vs. algorithmic approaches - amp models vs. captures, speaker IRs vs cab sims, reverb IRs vs. algorithmic reverbs.

The 7:00 min. sound along with a couple of pedals it´s all i need; even though it´s so hard to judge by youtube videos of course. With so many great options out there, the 1 or 2% of that missing "thing" we all of us trying to reach nowadays to recreate that "Psychoacoustic perception" has become an obsesion. That wonderful tube amp that some of us had luckly played at some point is the factor that pushes the industry to compete in order to achieve this incredible results, that ´s the good part. But, at the same time; We´ve became an spoiled consumer forcing our ears to seek that "Unicorn sound" instead of training them to creat and make actual music. Sometimes necessity and simplicity gives you the tools to create wonderful things. Sorry for my english and taking part of your channel to write down my reflection. Regarding the plugin, as i said, looks and sound like a variation of some many oders incredible sounding things and gadgets today. We just have to remember that they are just incredible tools. i´d suscribe to your channel, you look like a knowledgeable and nice guy. Wish you the best!

It seems a great gadget and apparently it has become free now, I will definitely will give it a go. I really like your videos ❤

I've heard you demo things I like better, but this is really good. Especially on the high gain models.

This is really cool, it would be awesome to see a new generation of atomics amplifire unit that has these features, lots of people have been trying to work out solutions for using nam captures live and that would be such an easy and complete way to do it

If it's from Atomic, there's a high chance it sounds amazing. And it does.

that sound awesome!

Sounds good! Not gonna switch from Tonex, though; I need the pedal. Also, I don't like the cloud-based capture requirement and iLok requirement in Tonocracy. I'm waiting for the next major Tonex updates; Tonocracy should light a little fire under IK Multimedia.

This is the plugin that every "non-nerd" guitarist waited. Really cool!

It sounds great, I know it’s wishful thinking but would love this as an app as I only own an iPad Pro

Now I think an NAMplifire could emerge 🎉

Kemper is getting passed by at an alarming rate. I remember when it used to be cutting edge.

So Tonocracy uses the NAM capturing technology? Sounds really great.

God bless you for stopping by with this comment, and may your entire family prosper in every aspect

i like it on the first try !

could u make a tutorial how to use the downloads from you description?

Does it work with double tracked stereo tracks or does it need two instances like NAM?

How do you input guitar into the system? I can't find any information? Thanks!

What is your cleaner capture profile you got loaded, sounds good ….is it one that you can post here ?

where are the user folders locate like where i can put my reverbs at

Do it drip doe? Yes. Yes it does. 😊

I wish apps like this could be available for iPad iOS users

Nam sounds better than neural dsp or stl tones? As for real sound?

As good as it sounds, I honestly think that a lot of it is down to the add-ons like stereo delay and reverbs. I may be old school, but give me a real tube amp any day, and crank it up loud. I did use a POD for a few years, it was very convenient and practical to use, but I soon got tired of the way it made everything you plugged into it sound nearly identical. I may be behind the times, but I can't imagine going back to modelling gear, I'd rather have the real deal. Not disrespecting you at all, you make it sound really good, and your playing is stellar. Just my personal preference.

killer tones Leon....how would you compare this to the tonemaster pro? or fm9? tones wise? I mean this is very cool and you make everything sound great but some of us only want 1 unit.

Pretty great tones in here, but this doesn't excite me that much. Another capturing platformm. Woo. I do like that they have a few modeled amps so you can just jam right away though.

Do you think this can capture an amp SIM from a modeller? I use my headrush as my interface and I love my amp sound

It feels like changing gain/eq works much better than on older capture platforms. do you feel this as well or am i just wishful hearing

I was wondering what was going on with Atomic. I'd been thinking they must be up to something with new hardware. Never even thought about this. Very cool.. It does sound amazing.. It in some way reminds me of the ToneX, but different. Man, we live in an amazing time to play guitar.. My only worry is that some day kids won't be playing amps at all, but I'm old and what do I know.. 😛 Your playing is always amazing sir and reminds me of back in the day so much when we had so many guys like you.. You must not sleep a lot because you're so damn busy brother.. That's a good thing though.. The man that does the most in the littlest amount of time wins.. Hey Leon. Do you know what the 3 most uncertain things on earth are? 1) The decision of a Jury 2) The state of a woman's mind 3) What's happening in the world of guitar gear! 😛 Sorry for babbling so much.. That first cup of strong strong coffee is working! Tim

Does anyone know exactly how to unlock the “demo “captures ? I’ve read they are for sale but don’t work ….if anyone knows please let me know

This is exactly what the TMP needed to go next level - why 'o why didn't Fender implement NAMM. Then we wouldn't have to worry about new amps being added because we already have access to them.

What DAW are you all using ????

Did u use the free version?? can i use the downloads in the description for free with the application?

This could be perfect if they opened up the plugin hosting feature (currently limited to just Neural Amp Modeler) to include any plugin like a typical plugin host. Being able to integrate FX from Helix Native, Amplitube 5, T-RackS or Mixbox, Strymon Bigsky plugin, Valhalla, etc. all within a single plugin with flexible routing (e.g. like Gig Performer) could be the real game changer feat that could make this future proof and truly democratize the industry.

Me watching: alright alright sounds cool *Leon does his stanky-assed bends* Well that's just cheating of course it sounds good Tasty jams as always, thanks dude!

From the guys that brought you Amplifire (Atomic)…

says free bt you get locked stuff with DEMO mode..then even trying to fallow links by clicking on the lock to buy or whatever your taken to a bad directory on their website.

The fx mix knob goes lower too. Just sayin'.

1st

hmmm, interesting concept, but not really convincing me at this time. - couldn't get it to work at 44.1 kHz - demo/free version restrictions are a major pain - CPU load is very high compared to the competition - wouldn't use in a full mix... will probably need some time to mature...

Really looked/sounded too good to be true (!!!) and about to spend my money ...... and then I found out Rob Chapman was involved - interest in the software fell through the floor. Next

Tonocray is awesome, but it's missing MIDI functionality.

Sounds buzzy and thin!! The AmpliFire sounds significantly better!!

Always keeping searching for the Holy Grail :-) ...one never knows so why not this one too ?

Ive been Tonocracy, the most, outta all the virtual shit I have. Almost as much as the Guitar Rig. Now... if I could properly get a capture of my shit (pedals,etc). F...
