ToneHunt is now TONE3000

Today, we are unifying ToneHunt, our beloved community for sharing and discovering tones, with TONEZONE3000's free online gear capture into a single platform: TONE3000 (now in beta). Our goal in bringing these two platforms together is to increase access to the incredible technology that powers them: Neural Amp Modeling (NAM), invented by Steve Atkinson (thanks, Steve!). By consolidating community and capture, we hope more people can discover the magic of open-source gear modeling.

Thinking Inside The Box

When digital (or algorithmic) music processing first came onto the scene in the 80s, there was a fair amount of skepticism.
