Free DI NAM Pack – VOX AC30 TOP BOOST Hey, we’re PlugnPlayTones — a not for profit, community-driven project dedicated to delivering authentic, mix-ready amp tones for both studio and live use. We regularly reach out to online guitar communities, run polls, and ask which amps they want captured. This way, the power stays in the community’s hands, and we do our best to capture each amp as faithfully as possible and only provide tones that are useful and tones that translates well in live and recording situations with minimal tweaking needed. This free NAM pack is a DI of a Vox AC30 Top Boost , captured professionally using modern studio techniques. Check out the Free IR for this capture : https://www.tone3000.com/plugnplaytones Our Nams and IRs is ready to load into your NAM plugin or NAM-compatible and IR loader pedals— no heavy tweaking required. Just plug, play, and get inspired. My NAMs include Optimized versions for Valeton, Hotone and Sonicake devices using our own Tone Retention Capture & Training Process. This reduces the clarity and tone loss that usually occur when loading or converting NAMs into these devices. Use it freely in your live sets, recordings, or projects. If you find value in this, you can support us by: 1. Purchasing Our Premium NAM Packs 2. Linking www.plugnplaytones.com in your video descriptions and you socials. 3. Sharing it with fellow musicians 4. Donating to our website Getting a Free Copy of our Premium Version of Our Captures: For those gigging and studio musicians out there . If you are able to record a high quality video and audio using our free captures in a live and studio setting you can send us a copy of your video for a chance to win a premium version of our free capture you are using 😊. The premium version will include 35 unique NAM profiles created with different amp settings, mic combinations, and placements — giving you a wide tonal palette to cover any genre or session need. We will offer it at a low price not to profit, but to keep this project sustainable — so we can keep obtaining new amps to capture and eventually collaborate with professional musicians to craft tones for every style. Thanks for being part of the journey. Let’s build this tone community together. READ THE GUIDE BELOW to get better tones and avoid volume issues. Our tone packs are Calibrated for : -12dbfs/+12dbu input which is the common sweet spot for most amp sims, modeler and capture loader. 1. Load the appropriate NAM file for your device (each one is labeled clearly). 2. For Nam or Tonex Plugins Users: I recommend to use a free plugin like Youlean Loudness Meter before the tonex or nam plugin . Play normally while adjusting your interface input gain until your True Peak reads close to -12 dBFS.  3. Another option if you want a cleaner signal is play normally while adjust your interface input gain to the highest possible setting without clipping 4. Now play your guitar again while using the loudness meter plugin to know how much you need to subtract in the NAM or Tonex Plugin Input to maintain -12dbfs  Its not a strict rule to aim for -12dbfs but Its good to have a  measureable starting point that will work for most people ,setups and devices when using our captures. Our goal is to have a input level closest to what the model is expecting or trained to.  5. For Tonex, Valeton, Sonicake and Hotone Pedal Users  Its a bit tricky to verify if you’re exactly at -12 dBFS or 12dbu . However what you can do is load any of my captures labeled Edge of breakup   Play normally while adjusting device’s input gain until the amp reacts naturally. That should give you a good starting point for most of our captures. Note: This guide is more of a quick and easy general guide that will work for most setups and Is easy enough for everyone to follow to improve guitar tones with our captures . We are aware that from a scientific standpoint its not the most accurate and most optimal way of gain staging. There are more advance guides out there for people who really want to spend time and effort to get the best tone possible.
