Advanced DSP Level Targets

Target level when auto levelling signal chain elements.
dBFS
Sets the final mixer auto-level and limiter target.
Automatically correct NAM input level using model metadata and the interface calibration level below. Applied only to the first NAM effect/amp in the signal chain.
dBu
Reference level of your audio interface (12 dBu = typical prosumer, 18 dBu = professional).

DSP Performance

Diagnostics

Signal levels, headroom, and clipping are reported continuously for chain input/output and nodes. DSP Load figure is for single audio-thread (typically 1 core), not your entire CPU.
DSP Load: 0.0%
Peak Load: 0.0%
I/O Latency: —

NAM Processing Quality

Min Max
Adjust quality while watching DSP Load and Peak Load above. Lower quality reduces CPU use.
Enable to use worker threads for parallel preset processing. Disable to force single-threaded DSP execution.

Help

Signal Path

Build your tone by adding and ordering effects in the chain. Click a node to edit parameters, bypass it, or swap models and IRs. Drag and drop to re-order items. Save your preset when the chain sounds right.

Presets And Scenes

Use the Presets panel to load, save, and organize tones. Scenes let you store multiple variations inside one preset for quick changes during practice or performance. Add to Mixer lets you use multiple presets at the same time abd mix between them.

Jam

Search backing tracks, pin favorites, and keep the floating player visible while you tweak your sound. Use keywords like artist, key, tempo, or style for better results.

Library And Sharing

Browse Tone3000 and local resources to load amps, cabinets, and riffs. Import content to your library, then export complete library bundles when you need backups or transfers.

Performance And Diagnostics

In DSP Performance, monitor load, latency, and signal diagnostics to troubleshoot clipping, gain staging, and node-level behavior.
