Hi everyone,
I’ve been closely following the recent launch of Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) Architecture 2 (A2) and the TONE3000 platform. Seeing that HeadRush has already announced native NAM support for their Prime, Core, and Flex Prime units, I was wondering if anyone has heard any news or official statements from the Line 6 team regarding a possible integration?
As many of you know, NAM A2 is a fully open-source protocol (MIT licensed), which should make it easier for manufacturers to implement. According to recent industry tests, the A2-Lite architecture is efficient enough to run on budget chips while maintaining incredible accuracy, even outperforming traditional modeling in blind listening tests.
Having native integration and access to the TONE3000 API would be a game-changer for the Helix ecosystem. It would allow us to:
Load high-quality captures directly without lossy third-party conversions.
Access a massive library of over 350,000 free tones directly from our devices.
Keep our Helix/HX units at the forefront of the "open tone" era.
Does anyone know if this is on the roadmap or if any staff member has commented on it? It would be amazing to see Line 6 embrace this technology and not stay behind its competitors in this new era of neural captures.
Thanks!
