The NUX Amp Academy Stomp is the premiere pedal of the band Monarch Series, offering the latest in TSAC 4K White Box Audio Algorithms for the finest tone in physical modeling world class amps, effects, and IR's. The Amp Academy Stomp is also the first NUX product to offer Image, NUX's unique and innovative introduction into Amp Profiling with Neural Amp Modeling (NAM) Files. This gives you the best of both worlds!

3-footswitch Modelers are an up-and-coming trend in the market. NUX heard your requests, and that's the main reason for creating the AA Stomp; an end-to-end tone-shaping Amp Simulator, and independent L/R CYBER IR Engine, ushering in a milestone evolution for NUX.TS/AC-4K Physical Modeling algorithm with separated Preamp & Power Amp combination

The Amp Academy Stomp features NUX's iconic TS/AC-4K Amp Modeling (White-box Physical Modeling algorithm), which is twice as complex found in previous versions. This led us to design a hardware platform with 2 DSPs, one to handle all the effects, and the other to handle the amp modeling algorithm. Now NUX even split Amp Modeling as separated preamp and power amp simulation. It means you can choose different power tubes to drive the creative sound.

Additionally, the Amp Academy Stomp uses premium A/D & D/A converters and analog circuits to achieve a clear sound with low noise levels.

Amp Academy Stomp gives you Stereo IR Capabilities with ultra-low latency.

Parallel/Serial DLY & RVB blocks
In Parallel Mode, Delay and Reverb blocks can make your signal cleaner and sound stronger.

Serial/Branch Send/Return routing
In Serial Mode, the AA Stomp makes use of the Send/Return in a more traditional sense.
In Branch Mode, the Send jack sends the signal before the IR signal block to a real amplifier (Power Amp In), while simultaneously sending the outputs with IR signals to the PA system or FRFR amp.

Scene/Stomp modes
You can assign the foot switches in Global Settings. Let's explain the concepts of PRESET and SCENE:
- PRESET: A complete effects signal chain.
- SCENE: A snapshot of a specific effects signal chain, including the switching of effects modules and the setting changes of parameters.

So, SCENE can be imagined as the effect switches and tone changes you may need in a song. For example, the main song is S1, the chorus is S2, and the interlude is S3. The advantage of doing this is that your naming is in a PRESET, and since the effect signal chain is fixed, there will be lower switching noise and delay when the effector switches SCENE.

Another secret is to select the same model to switch the Delay on and off when setting your SCENE, which can achieve an effect "Tail".

Balanced 1/4" Outputs
1/4" Balanced TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) outputs reduce noise interference and transmit signals over long distances.

Quick Block design
The Amp Academy Stomp has an intuitive Quick Block Design, letting you assign any effect to the four buttons on the third row through the global menu. This allows for quick activation or deactivation of key tones. By holding a button, you can also access the module's editing interface for fast, real-time sound adjustments.30 seconds stereo phrase loop with PRE/POST position

The AAS also includes a 30 second stereo phrase looper. This powerful little looper can be used in either Auto Record or Normal Record modes. Additionally, it can be set to the pre or post position in the signal path.

This is also incredibly useful live with the included NBT-1 Bluetooth Module and accompanying iOS/Android App. Set up a loop in Pre Mode, let the loop play back and use the App to adjust your tone from anywhere in your live venue for the best possible tone.

USB Audio Interface
As laptops continue to include fewer USB ports, users often rely on USB hubs or adapters, which can disrupt the plug-and-play experience and potentially cause conflicts. The NUX Amp Academy Stomp also serves as a USB audio interface, minimizing setup time and freeing up space.
