NAM A2 Lite native is here! it now runs on a budget multi effects pedal. The NUX MG-300 MKII costs around $150, and usually lower if it's on sale.
Check out this video where I compared it with the official NAM Gateway plugin and other budget modelers that I have:
I think the MG-300's native NAM A2 Lite sounds almost identical to the NAM A2 plugin, given that the input gain is matched. During my testing, I set the MG-300 amp gain to 70 to match it with the plugin (I just matched it by ear).
On another impressive note, the MG-300's latency is only 2 ms with NAM A2 Lite, IR, and all other effects blocks enabled.
For the other modelers that use converted NAM A1 converted, I'm also satisfied with the quality. I think the NAM quality is indistinguishable with other effects in the chain. So the quality of other effects in the chain is a big factor when it comes to the final sound. I've spent quite some time using these devices, particularly the Hotone Pulze Mini and Valeton GP-150. The Soran Stomp Lite didn't disappoint as well, considering it's the lowest priced unit in bunch.
For the Mooer GE100 Pro, I can still hear some artifacts during the time when I reviewed it. But it still sounds good and it has a powerful DSP.
I can't wait for these devices to have native NAM A2 Lite support as well. I think this will also show which companies can rise up based on their software development.
I'm doing a full review of the NUX MG-300 MKII so make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel (The Tonio Method)!
