Can ToneLib GFX (or other releases) support NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) in the future?

    Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) is a state of the art amp modeling software which is open source and fully free for any company to integrate into their products.

    Basically it sounds as good as any virtual guitar amp can possibly sound in 2026.

    I have not bought any ToneLib products yet, but I have been experimenting with guitar tones elsewhere in VST, and I see a huge gap in the Linux space right now. I am able to cobble together my guitar tone through like a dozen free plugins all in series in an FX chain, and it sounds outstanding... however this is very inconvenient! I want this all in one single plugin.

    If ToneLib were to upgrade their amp modeling engine by simply implementing this free NAM component, it would become the ultimate guitar VST plugin in my eyes and I would buy it immediately. There seems to be no other plugin at the moment native to Linux which has NAM and all of these effects conveniently in a single plugin.

    There is something like Guitarix which kind of fits this description, but it's just kind of crap in terms of usability and polish.

    I hope that ToneLib will consider implementing NAM... I'll be all over it!
