Metal Guitar Tone That Sound Real (Not Just Another Amp Sim Preset)

Posted on by admin

🎸 Finally: Metal Guitar Tone That Sound Real (Not Just Another Amp Sim Preset)

If you’ve ever clicked through dozens of amp sim presets only to end up with the same lifeless, thin metal guitar tone… you’re not alone.

That’s exactly why I partnered with Jay from Oracle Sound to build something better — a tone pack for Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) that finally sounds real.

NAM is powerful — it can replicate real amps incredibly well. But if you’ve tried grabbing random models off the internet, you know the results can be hit or miss. Some tones are inspiring. Others? Completely unusable.

That’s where this project comes in.

🎛️ What Makes This NAM Tone Pack Different?

We captured real amp tones from my studio rig, using Jay’s advanced NAM training process and loader via Oracle Sound. This isn’t just a “snapshot” — these are dialed-in, mix-ready profiles that actually hold up in a production context.

We focused on realism, punch, and versatility.

✅ Inside the Pack:

  • 10 NAM models total:
    → 8 heavy rhythm tones
    → 1 clean
    → 1 lead
  • Real amps used:
    → Custom Audio Amplifiers OD100
    → EVH 5150 III
    → Engl Blackmore
  • Each model comes in 2 versions:
    → Raw – tweak it your way
    → Processed – polished, ready-to-go tones
  • Captured with real OD pedals: Horizon Devices Precision Drive & MXR Dirty Tree
  • Created from 5 different DI sessions to ensure real-world performance across genres and tunings

This pack is about delivering tones that inspire you to play more and make more riffs, and tweak less.

We’re giving away one amp model for free, both raw and processed. It’s yours to try out — no strings attached.

If you dig it, the full pack is available right alongside it.

Want to hear the tones in action? In this YouTube video, I walk through the concept, show off the tones, and explain how we built this pack to stand out:

The pack itself is available here!

Whether you’re recording heavy riffs, building reamps, or just want to be inspired when you pick up the guitar — this NAM pack was made for players who want real tone without the plugin grind.

If you’ve ever felt like your amp sim tones were just… “meh,” this might be the thing that changes it.

Stay heavy,
