Breakup NAM Profiles & IR's
Explore Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) profiles designed for classic breakup tones that sit perfectly between clean and full distortion. These profiles capture the sweet spot of tube saturation, edge-of-breakup grit, and dynamic responsiveness that defined blues rock, roots music, and vintage rock 'n' roll. From the creamy, touch-sensitive crunch heard in Eric Clapton's "Layla" sessions to the pushed clean tones of early AC/DC and the bluesy sustain of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas sound, breakup profiles deliver that magical zone where your guitar's volume knob becomes your most expressive tool. Perfect for players seeking organic compression, harmonic richness, and the kind of amp-on-the-edge character that blooms with pick attack and cleans up with a gentle touch. Whether you're chasing late-'60s British invasion grit, American tweed warmth, or that elusive "plexi on 7" vibe, these profiles bring authentic tube-style breakup behavior to your digital rig.
