S-SL Fusion Analog Processor Profiles for NAM

S-SL Fusion Analog Processor

Final polish. Analog depth. Mix-ready tone.

The Fusion is not about a single process — it’s about finishing the mix.

Combining saturation, tonal shaping, and dynamic control, it enhances clarity, adds weight, and brings cohesion to your sound with a polished analog character.

NAM A2 Updated

All Tokyo Studio Capture profiles have been updated for the latest NAM A2 architecture.

NAM A2 represents the most significant advancement in Neural Amp Modeler to date, delivering substantially improved accuracy, efficiency, and hardware fidelity compared to previous generations.

According to large-scale blind listening tests, A2 consistently achieved results that are extremely difficult to distinguish from the original hardware.

How it behaves

• Multiple processes combine into a cohesive final sound
• Harmonics, tone, and dynamics are shaped together
• Results range from subtle polish to bold coloration

Audio Demo

Compare the original hardware signal and the NAM profile across a range of sources — bass, guitar, synth, and more.
Each example demonstrates how closely the profile captures the tone, dynamics, and harmonic response of the hardware.
The NAM and hardware samples are gain-matched to allow for a more accurate evaluation of the capture’s fidelity.
For additional context, a dry (unprocessed) version is also included.

Why this capture is different

• Multi-stage analog processing captured in a single profile
• Wide tonal range from subtle polish to heavy saturation
• Designed for mix bus and final stage processing

Waveform Comparison (Hardware vs NAM)

Below is a direct comparison between the original hardware signal and the NAM profile output.
This visualization highlights how accurately the combined processing and tonal response are preserved.

Technical notes

• Format: NAM (.nam)
• Sample Rate: 48kHz
• Capture Type: Real hardware
• Calibration: Studio-level gain staging

Gain Staging Advice

Our captures are pre-calibrated at -18 dBFS input level.
For best results, we recommend feeding the plugin with an input signal close to -18 dBFS.

Due to gain reduction during the profiling process, the output level of a loaded profile may be slightly lower than the original input signal.

Please adjust the Output control to match your source level or to reach your preferred listening volume.
