We are pleased to announce that our team has completed work on the new version of TL GFX. Introducing TL GFX v.4.9.5!
The big new thing in this update is that it supports NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) models. Now you can use a vast range of guitar gear profiles (guitar/bass amps, pedals, preamps, complete signal chains - you name it!) along with the original TL GFX effects - right in the plugin.
Also, the IR Convolver engine in the TL GFX has been given a big boost. IRs are now processed full stereo, meaning they have a wider range of applications and better sound quality.
Plus, we've added a whole new set of factory presets, which are even better, louder and more versatile!
NAM Profiles - Now in TL GFX
From version 4.9.5 onwards, TL GFX enables you to use custom guitar gear profiles captured from real analogue equipment using NAM technology. This gives you even greater freedom for advanced tone shaping and removes the barriers to achieving your ideal tone. Is your favourite effect or amp missing from the TL GFX collection? Then add it!
TL GFX supports both classic NAM profiles and the latest A2 models. The NAM Profile Manager can be found in a separate tab within the Effects section. Several profiles are already available, so you can try out the new feature right away. You can add your own NAM models (or ones that you have found while browsing the vast Tone3000 community collection) via drag-and-drop and seamlessly integrate them into your effects chain. Combine your gear profiles with TL GFX’s built-in effects and impulse responses to create your perfect effect chain!
Improved IR Convolver
We have redesigned the built-in IR convolver engine in TL GFX version 4.9.5. Most notably, any impulse response placed in the effects chain is now processed in true stereo. This ensures the original IR's frequency and panning characteristics are preserved and reproduced with much higher accuracy
In addition, we fixed a minor impulse normalization bug that caused some user-created IRs to sound slightly muddy. Now, all IRs loaded into TL GFX reproduce accurately, regardless of their length or format.
NAM Profiles - Now in TL GFX
On top of it, we've added a new set of factory presets to the TL GFX. We've totally overhauled the old presets, adding more new effects and cabinets, and we've also created several presets from scratch, including some for bass guitar. Our focus was on making the standard set of guitar tones more versatile so that everyone can find a sound they like straight away.
If you're an existing user, you'll find 63 fresh presets in the Collections tab, in the relevant section. The old presets have also been moved here, to the Legacy section.
