Күн бұрынIn this video we will share a demo review of the DIME HEAD NAM Player. First of all we will hear the NAM Pedal in action in a demo song, then we will describe the pedal in details, then we will discuss the result of the null test comparing the NAM Pedal versus a real tube amp and finally I will give you my two cents

@@EngiNeer-ec8nkHard to measure for me. I don't think it's capless, if you have different NAM models.loaded, so from clean to distorted or so, there seems a bit of a gap. However, a good chunk smaller than the gap on ToneX. But what I found was that when using the same NAM profile, but with different EQ settings, Delay etc. so for a solo boost for example, the switch was pretty much gapless. I think a new video on this subject is overdue where I compare the ToneX vs. NAM and showcase a few things.

I’m very excited to see the manus responding to the market. It sure took a while. All that said, this pedal is severely crippled for those who need additional I/O. The display is not much to be excited about either. And third, the price is quite high considering the above. It’s a bold experiment and I wish them well.

Sounds good but It might be limited for 600 euros. I was hoping it would directly compete with tonex and sell for 399$ US. You can pretty much say NAM is the best though for sound quality. But I think that interface is a little clunky. That XLR will definitely be a selling point for some people

Understanding the cost to build this unit can be a high out-of-pocket investment initially by the builder, however, this is the price to pay for a successful forecast acceptance. This being said, I agree, that the price to performance should at least match that of Tonex.

By the way with an IR length of 4096 pts we could even model early reflexions (short reverb / room response) and include this in the IR.. I personnaly really like to add early reflexions when playing with modelers as it feels more natural, closer to the 'in the room' sound.

Superb video, thanks as usual Leo. It is much appreciated. 🙏 I have been meaning to ask you this for a while - Say, you have 4 products. 1 - A 50w tube amp head with 2 channels - Hughes and Kettner Statesman EL34 2 - A NAM Player - 0.5 ms - 0.8 ms latency 3 - A modeller with 1.5 ms latency. 4 - A modeller with 2-2.5 ms latency If you were to compare the above 4 products on the basis of latency - 1) Is there a noticeable difference in the way the latency feels amongst the 4 products? If so, then how? 2) Does latency affect the way you play? If so, then how would it affect if you played the aforementioned 4 products? 3) At what stage for you in ms, does latency seriously start to become an issue for you? Thanks again. 🙏

Here are my thoughts on this unit. I think it does offer some very good features. Ie: the processing power, the high end converters and DSP that's adds up to low latency, the ability to run convolution reverbs and high quality IR's. All add up to giving a very real amp feel I would hope. What I think are the short comings of the unit are simple. The hard to see and read screen. Many of us will be the same even with glasses have trouble seeing the screen, so not having a computer editor is a major issue. We should be able to do everything on the computer and transfer via USB to make it easier to see and set up, so it's ready for live use. Furthermore they made some odd choices with effects. Regardless of what some people will say. The delay was un-necessary and really just doesn't make sense. The reverbs due as you can emulate the real amps real spring reverbs through convolution reverbs, and reverb is very common on real tube amplifiers, where as delay is not. What would have been more useful is a noise-gate, compressor, and clean boost. The other possible option would an overdrive, but to many people want something different, and you can always include an overdrive in your profile with your amp when you Al make it. Otherwise it would be cool to be able to run a NAM overdrive profile in front of the amp profile. This would be more useful than the dealt. Most people will use pedals for their other effects anyway. The other thing that all profilers need NAM, Tonex, ML, Amperium. All of them are modeled tone stacks like Kemper is doing with liquid profiles. This to me is incredible useful, creative where you use a different tone stack than the amp, but allows you to control the amp like the real thing and need way less profiles. The generic tone stack like they currently use is useful too, but the real tons stack and gain structure of each amo Ales it more like using the real amp without having 50 profiles to do so. This is the main reason I still don't use profiling or capturing really and still Prefer traditional component models.
@LeoGibsonGtr Ай бұрын
Thank you for sharing! Let me add that, as stated in some comments, with future fw updates the delay and the reverb could be used together. THanks!

The price isn't a problem at all. 99% of us are home musicians who are happy with the plugin. We might take a cheap multieffects to an open mic and that's about it. But if one of us makes it big and can go touring as a professional musician, we'd have the same amp models as on our home workstations on the go.

Great review Leo!! It’s truly amazing!! But I think this unit it’s a rip off, the amperium live came a lot earlier, same format, same processing power and a real fx chain with everything, can load NNM profiles and have a pc an Bluetooth app, so if you ask me I’ll go with that for the same price

Thank you, I'm really happy that you appreciate the review! May I ask you if you are sure that Amperium can load NAM profiles? As far as I remember Amperium uses other type of profiles (for instance training at 44.1 and not 48...)...but I may be wrong.... Thank you!

@@LeoGibsonGtr Ya sure, like I said, It loads NNM Profiles, not NAM, wich are basically the same, taking in cosideration your point in the sample rate it operates at 44.1 but the other functions makes the NAM player hard to choose.

But the Amperium is hard to get your hands on. I guess they are building drones at the moment.

If it matters the Amperium is also listed as having something like ~2ms of latency total round trip vs the NAM player as having 0.5 ms.

Pretty cool product. I do wonder how it can compete with $180 Tonex one. The long IRs for reverb is very cool. I wish it had optical out for connecting to audio interface without additional D/A A/D conversion. The screen looks quite dated, I hope that doesn't hurt the sales of this product. Might have been better to have no screen at all and make it cheaper.

Do you feel the difference with latency between this and Tonex One ?
@LeoGibsonGtr Ай бұрын
Hi, no, with just the pedal an nothing else . But I'm not very sensible to latency and I can adapt.

€600 Euros is insane for something with an interface that looks like a 1990’s smartphone.

Another con: it went from possibly being the greatest rockman ever to not usable with headphones since it is mono.

It comes out of both left and right sides (Dual Mono), similar to when you plug a guitar into the NAM plugin / or any other amp sim.
@GaryMcT Ай бұрын
@@DomMcsweeney-DoomPlugs yes but who wants a mono guitar in the middle of their head without any stereo reverb or otherwise to make it more bearable?

Is latency really that important? I think everything under 30 ms is ok in practice. So 500 Euro is too much for me.
@DomMcsweeney-DoomPlugs Ай бұрын
30ms? that's more on the way to being a slap back delay.
@LeoGibsonGtr Ай бұрын
Well, 30 ms is really toooooo much. For me latency is an important aspect, and impact how a unit "feel" under your finger. Furthermore latency sum up, therefore if you have a wireless system latency sum up, if you use other digital pedal, latency sum up etc...and the playing could become really uncomfortable.
@gerrykavanagh Ай бұрын
When you consider that every digital effect in your chain will add its own latency, any device that minimises this will benefit the entire signal chain
