The Issue

Subject: Petition for BOSS to Implement Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) Support in the GT Series
To: BOSS / Roland Corporation Product Development Team

The Request

We, the undersigned guitarists, producers, and members of the global music community, formally request that BOSS bring Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) architecture support to the GT-1000 (and future flagship multi-effects processors).


 


Why NAM Integration is Vital for the GT Platform

Industry-Leading Realism: Neural Amp Modeler is an open-source, AI-driven capture technology that currently delivers some of the most accurate, dynamic, and realistic amplifier and pedal clones in the digital guitar space.
The Competition is Evolving: The guitar processor market is rapidly adopting open-source and user-captured profiling (e.g., Headrush Prime, Fractal Axe Fx, IK Multimedia ToneX, Neural DSP Quad Cortex). Adding NAM support ensures BOSS remains at the absolute cutting edge of hardware modeling.


Leveraging BOSS Processing Power: The GT-1000 features immense DSP capabilities and ultra-low latency. Combining BOSS’s world-class effects routing and structural reliability with the endless community-driven library of NAM captures would create the ultimate hybrid rig.


Community Loyalty & Longevity: Providing an update or module that loads .nam files would breathe incredible new life into the GT platform, cementing user loyalty and attracting a massive wave of new players who love open-source captures but prefer BOSS hardware build quality.

Proposed Implementation Path

Firmware Update: A dedicated block within the GT-1000 chain specifically optimized to load downsampled/efficient NAM capture files.
BOSS Tone Studio Integration: Allowing users to convert or manage NAM captures directly via the companion software for easy hardware loading.

BOSS has always stood for bulletproof reliability and innovation. By integrating NAM support, you bridge the gap between legendary hardware and the future of open-source guitar tech.
