## What is NAM AUv3?

Play real amplifier captures on your iPhone or iPad. Load any `.nam` model and `.wav` cabinet IR, and run it as a low-latency AUv3 effect inside GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, Loopy Pro, or Cubasis.

Features:
• Load any NAM profile (.nam) for authentic amp and pedal sounds
• Load custom cabinet IRs (.wav) for speaker/mic simulation
• 3-band tone stack (Bass, Mid, Treble) matching the official NAM plugin
• Noise gate with adjustable threshold
• Input gain and output level controls
• Normalized, raw, and calibrated output modes
• Works in GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, and any AUv3-compatible host

Whether you are practicing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, NAM delivers the sound of real amplifiers right on your iOS device.

Where to get models: thousands of free amp captures and cabinet IRs are shared by the community on sites like TONE3000 and ToneHunt. Download any .nam or .wav IR file, open it in NAM, and play.

Works great in GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, Koala, Cubasis, Loopy Pro, and any AUv3 host.

NAM is a player-only implementation — it loads and plays existing model captures but does not perform training or model creation.

Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) was created by Steven Atkinson. This app is an independent iOS port of the NAM player and is not affiliated with the official NAM project. The official NAM desktop plugin and source code are available at https://neuralampmodeler.com.

### 4/5 — It works and the developer responds promptly to bug reports.

*2026-07-27*

At first it wasn’t working with my particular iPhone/iOS combo so I emailed the developer and he was very quick (on a Sunday, at that!) to respond. The next morning I had access to a updated version which fixed the problem and now it works as advertised.  I’ve tried on other more expensive NAM
loading app, which does more, is more fully featured and slicker, but that one isn’t AUv3 which sucks big time. This one is a lot less, but works in Loopy Pro, and Audiobus, Koala, etc. - which rocks.

**Developer response:** Always appreciate the feedback. Excited to continue improving it until it’s the best iOS NAM app!
