!!! IMPORTANT: CAPTURES ARE CALIBRATED FOR +18.1 dBu (YOU MIGHT NEED TO TURN THE INPUT GAIN DOWN A LOT, SEE NOTES BELOW) !!!
!!! USE THE NAM PLAYER AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION FOR CORRECT GAIN !!!
!!! COMPLEX CAPTURES ARE STILL IN TRAINING, ONLY STD/XREV CAPTURES ARE AVAILABLE FOR NOW. ONCE TRAINING IS FINISHED IN ABOUT TWO TO THREE MONTHS, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE COMPLEX CAPTURES AS WELL !!!
!!! ONLY THE FULL AMP CAPTURES WILL BE TRAINED WITH THE COMPLEX ARCHITECTURE !!!
This is only a teaser pack, the full pack, with 190 unique captures, can be bought via this link:

This capture pack is based on an FMAN JA tribute amplifier with a 100W EL34 powersection. There are 190 unique captures in this pack and almost every switch combination is present.
To dial in the tones, I've used a superstrat with a JB in bridge position and an Edwards Les Paul with a WCR Green/Moore set.
My capture packs are made with the utmost attention to detail and very high quality outboard gear (Neumann MT48 audio interface, Vovox cables, Suhr/St. Rock/UA OX reactive loads, Lehle P-Split III reamp box, serviced amps etc.).
The main selling points of my capture packs are:
- Very low aliasing due to a much longer training signal
- Very high quality captures with extra accuracy in the case of complex captures
- All captures are calibrated, no guesswork involved
There are also three types of captures in this set:
- Standard denoted with an "S" suffix
- ReverseXStandard denoted with an "XR" suffix (more accurate, similar CPU hit as Standard)
- Complex denoted with a "C" suffix (highest accuracy, highest CPU hit)
If your computer can handle it, go for the complex captures, otherwise XR is a reasonable alternative to the standard architecture.
Regarding the nomenclature of the captures:
This amp is basically an early 70's lead spec super lead at its core, Jose used to add an extra preamp tube, clipping diodes on the master volume along with two master volume positions (pre and post EQ) and different presence ciruits (vintage is the same as an old super lead, new is a more modern voicing).
These captures always start with a 1, 2 or 3 in the beginning: 1 denotes the pre-EQ diode clipping mode, 2 is without diode clipping (classic super lead position) and 3 denotes post-EQ diode clipping.
This number is followed by a brief EQ setting description like "bright" and a gain rating (HG = High Gain, MG = Medium Gain, LG = Low Gain). The last part of the name is the presence setting (NP = New Presence, VP = Vintage Presence).
Lower gain captures are also low in volume, due to their dynamic nature, don't be afraid to turn up the output volume to compensate for it.
Signal Chain: Neumann MT48 Line Output -> Lehle P-Split III Reamp Box -> FMAN JA -> Suhr Reactive Load -> Neumann MT48 Line Input
Signal Chain Calibration: +18.1 dBu (Calibration Metadata Included)
*** IMPORTANT CALIBRATION INFORMATION ***
If you're using the newest NAM player VST, just enable the automatic gain calibration and enter your max input gain number into the little "cablirate input" window. if you want to do it manually, follow this quick guide:
- Find your audio interface's max input gain for your Hi-Z input in the manual or online
- If your max input gain number is lower than +18.1, then decrease the input gain by the difference between your max input gain and +18.1.
- If your max input gain number is higher than +18.1, then increase the input gain by the difference between your max input gain and +18.1.
Hope you enjoy this capture pack! If you have any questions or experience any problems, feel free to contact me!
Upon payment, you will receive a download link within 48 hours, usually much sooner.
