TONEX v2 BEATS NAM in compressor capture accuracy! Between ToneX and NAM, which technology is better at capturing the subtle yet complex effect of a compressor? Initially, one might think a compressor wouldn't be modeled accurately because it is so dependent on time and attack-context.
However, after many attempts with ToneX v2 to capture amps pushed by compressors—Gilmour-style with dual compressors, or Knopfler-style with an Orange Juicer—I realized that ToneX is actually very capable of capturing that initial attack 'snap' and adding sustain. If you think about it, ToneX and NAM both excel at capturing high-gain amps, which often behave like compressors themselves. Furthermore, Nashville session players often describe compression as a distortion pedal that sounds... clean
In any case, I decided to capture a complex compression chain: two compressors in series from the excellent S-Gearplugin. Here are the results, presented in two parts:
Out-of-Distribution Null Tests: These clearly show ToneX v2 as the winner by a long shot. ToneX = ESR 0.01 and NAM = ESR 0.038! In practice, this is mostly audible in the attack snap and the release; there is a real difference in the 'feel' while playing.
Waveform Comparisons: I am providing the waveform images to compare against the original. Here too, ToneX tracks the original signal remarkably well.
