NUX Amp Academy Stomp Compact Modeler and Amp Profile Loader Pedal Black

The NUX Amp Academy Stomp redefines what a compact amp modeler can achieve, blending world-class amp simulation with professional-grade profiling in a pedalboard-friendly footprint. Built around the powerful TSAC-4K white-box modeling algorithm, it delivers breathtaking realism by separating preamp and power amp stages—giving players the freedom to swap "virtual tubes" for endless tonal variety. From sparkling cleans to searing British crunch, it captures the essence of iconic amps with uncanny accuracy. Enhanced with stereo Cyber IR technology, dual DSPs and an intuitive interface, the Amp Academy Stomp compact modeler pedal is designed to bring pro-level tone to every stage and studio.

Dynamic TSAC-4K Modeling Engine Delivers Authentic Amp Tone

At the core of the Amp Academy Stomp is NUX's next-generation TSAC-4K modeling engine, offering twice the complexity of its predecessor for unparalleled authenticity. Unlike most modelers, the AA Stomp splits preamp and power amp simulation, so players can shape gain structure, headroom and response with unprecedented precision. The included amp models cover everything from classic American blackface and British tube combos to iconic plexi heads and modern high-gain stacks. Moreover, the virtual tube library lets you swap out EL84s, EL34s, 6L6s and more to explore different dynamic responses on the fly. Combined with premium A/D and D/A converters, the result is a platform that feels as responsive as a tube amp under your fingers.

Advanced Cyber IR Engine for Studio-Grade Realism

NUX's groundbreaking Cyber IR engine pushes cabinet simulation into new territory with stereo IR capability and deep customization. Players can adjust microphone type, placement and distance, all with ultra-low latency for seamless playability. The pedal ships with 60 factory IRs and allows up to 40 user slots, so you can load your favorite third-party cabs. Dual 1024-sample resolution ensures realism and depth, whether you're running direct to front of house or into a studio interface. For even more tonal options, the AA Stomp introduces "Image" technology, enabling NAM single-layer image captures as well as multi-layer "Deep Image" amp models for breathtaking realism.

Full Multi-Effects Suite for Live and Studio Flexibility

Beyond amp and cab simulation, the Amp Academy Stomp is a fully realized multi-effects unit with nine effect blocks—including noise gate, compression, EQ, delay and reverb—that can be arranged in serial or parallel. Delay and reverb blocks shine in parallel mode for lush, articulate ambience, while branch routing lets you split signals between a stage amp and PA simultaneously. Scene and Stomp modes give players flexible control: Presets store full rigs, while scenes capture snapshots for different song sections with near-zero switching noise. The onboard 30-second stereo looper, with pre/post placement, rounds out a versatile toolkit for both practice and live use.

Durable Build and Smart Controls Meet the Demands of Modern Players

Despite its compact footprint, the Amp Academy Stomp is engineered for professional reliability. Its rugged aluminum chassis is road-ready, while the 2.86" full-color display makes navigation intuitive. Connectivity is equally robust, with balanced 1/4″ TRS outputs for noiseless long runs, MIDI I/O for integration with complex rigs and an EXP/CTRL jack for the included NMP-2 Lite dual footswitch. USB-C support unlocks 24-bit/48kHz audio interface functionality, simplifying home recording and firmware updates. Players can even control parameters wirelessly with the included NBT-1 Bluetooth module and mobile app—ideal for adjusting tones mid-gig without touching the pedal. Every detail is designed with modern players in mind.

Pro-Level Amp Modeling in a Compact Pedal

For guitarists who want uncompromising tone without hauling heavy amps, the NUX Amp Academy Stomp compact modeler pedal is both liberating and inspiring. It combines the realism of high-end tube amp simulation, the flexibility of deep IR management and the practicality of a USB audio interface in one compact box. With 27 presets, three scenes per preset, ultra-low 2ms latency and a massive dynamic range of 111dB, it delivers pro-level sound and performance anywhere. Whether you're dialing in vintage cleans, modern high-gain crunch or a custom rig crafted from scratch, the Amp Academy Stomp makes it easy to carry your entire soundscape underfoot.
