Hey {{first_name|there}} —

I've been waiting to share this for a while.

Stratus now runs Neural Amp Modeler — native Architecture 2 (A2) support, no conversion, the real thing. We partnered with TONE3000 to make their entire library of 300,000+ amp captures available directly in the app.

If you're not familiar with NAM, it's open-source amp modeling that's become the most accurate option available. A2, launched today, is more accurate than Line 6, ToneX, and Neural DSP in both blind listening tests and quantitative measurements. It captures how an amp actually feels — the sag, the bloom, the breakup. Not just the sound.

Stratus is the first compact pedal to support this new technology natively — and it's running amp modeling more accurate than gear costing 3-5x as much.

I've been playing through vintage Fender cleans and cranked Marshall captures all week. It's kind of surreal having this on a $299 pedal.

Update your app and Stratus to try it out. The TONE3000 library is free to browse.

Talk soon,
— Landon
