Thanks for checking out the plugin! I’m the lead developer at PolyChrome DSP. I wanted to clarify that we don’t use NAM or any other black box modeling (no captures). Our modeling technology is circuit based. Cheers!
Hi Gianni, wonderful playing! Thanks so much for checking out our plugin. On the tech side of things, nothing in Nunchuck uses NAM profiles or equivalent. It is all component modelling which allowed us to dial in each section of the amp. It’s a lot of extra work, but as you’ve felt the latency and feel is absolutely worth it. We’re pretty obsessive about shaving every single millisecond of latency as possible, lots Of late nights haha. Have a great weekend. Thomas
Definitely you can feel it when playing faster lines, it's easy to feel a bit disconnected when using plugins or modellers but not the case here, well done!
Very good looking plugin. They nailed the look not to cartoon like. That high gain setting is fantastic sounds like a heavy modded Marshall which I dig. Like a ground zero modded or something similar. At least to my ears. Thanks for the demo
One of the best sounding amp plugins, I ever have heard, also with a lot of great additional features, like eg. Hypertune or spring/plate reverb. Marshalls anyway seem to be the holy grail of amp programming. I only know a few simulations, which nail these sounds correctly. Therefore, well done! A Tweed amp collection (5E2, 5E3, 5E7, 5E11,... maby even a Ramparte) maybe also would be nice in this quality and then also maybe with an oil-can delay/tape echo, vibrato/tremolo... Nice demo, nice sounds!
Great playing and sounds. I appreciate your feedback on the responsiveness of the plugin. It really is a weird fetish of many plugin makers to have the fonts be way too small for practical use. If an aesthetic choice, I'd love it if we could toggle a more readable mode. Especially if I'm using it on my deliberately small laptop. I'll look for demos of the metal side of this, but you've convinced me it handles blues/classic rock tones well. Thanks!
I think Softube feels best when comparing it to UAD very recently. However, I did it separating heads and mics and cabs. I started out believing Neural DSP was the king at the top, but since 2023, it was Softube that has come out on top. For me. There are a couple thst ate the ballpark of best. Softube respons to my playing and my pedals like I expect. It's just the amp sim for people who don't like amp sims, for tones and feel. It can quite heavy with the digital workflow before you've learnt it and found your presets. But you just really get by stripping their presets and get corner stones heads and cabs and mics and great studio rooms. Vintage and Marshall Suite covers all, and you can use their IR loader with useful parameters and go into studio mode, and blend in room mics from legacy block IRs.

@@zioaxiom thanks for chipping in! My guess was purely based on the design of the knobs at the top and some of the layout.

@MrACangusyoungDC I will check it out, I know it's been around for years but I'm sure it's been updated
