Fender Blues DeVille 410 NAM Models and Cab IR

Description

I bought some equipment to model my amp, and this is the outcome. I had to buy 2 reamp boxes and a Captor 8-Ohm reactive load box in order to model the amp. I also played a super loud sine sweep to capture the IR of the cab, or at least, one mic placement's IR.

You can use these models for free, but if you make money from using them, just know that I had to spend a couple hundred bucks and a few hours to record the samples and train the models.

Model File Organization

The model files are organized so that all of the clean models are together, all the clean + bright models are together, and all of the drive models are together, separated by Bright, Heavy, Medium, and Warm drive levels. The final "Cranked" or "Low" indicates the volume knob position when the recordings were made.

Batch 1 was a failing attempt at modeling the amp. It represents a failure that was caused by a ground loop which was caused by my MacBook Air. I had to switch to a headless desktop for recording/reamping. Those recordings are in Batch 2. You can see the error graphs in the zip file.

Installation Instructions

1. Download the zip file.
2. Extract the zip file to a suitable location.
3. Install Neural Amp Modeler audio plugin: Users | Neural Amp Modeler
4. Scan for new plugins in your DAW.
5. Add NAM to an audio track.
6. Use NAM to locate the .nam files in the zip file you extracted and use these models. Batch 2 had the best results.
7. Use NAM to locate the Cab IR .wav files in the zip file you extracted.

Tips

• When using NAM, change the input volume knob to emphasize distortion as desired.
• Use the output volume knob strictly for the volume of the amplified signal.
• Disable EQ to use the raw EQ of the amp's settings, but you can use the EQ controls to adjust how it sounds
