## New in PiPedal v2.0:
- Support for Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) A2 models.
- Direct single-step downloads of NAM A2 models to the Pipedal server using web services provided by <a href="https://tone3000.com/">Tone3000.com</a>.

- A new Channel Routing dialog which allows you to pass through Auxilliary audio channels, or unprocessed guitar inputs for later re-amping in a DAW or external hardware.
- New NAM A2-based Factory Presets, and a small selection of NAM A2 models pre-installed and ready to use.
PiPedal includes state-of-the-art AI-based guitar amp emulation, using the TooB Neural Amp Modeler technology. And PiPedal 2.0 now includes support for the brand new NAM A2 technology, which provides event more accurate amp simulations than NAM A1, while using even less CPU. Experience the ground-breaking quality of NAM A2 models now, with PiPedal's low-latency audio engine running on your Raspberry Pi or Ubuntu computer.

NAM changes everything! The quality of NAM A1 and A2 models is better than than amp emulations on top-of-the-line commercial guitar stomp boxes costing thousands of dollars. Simulations that not only sound like the real thing, but also respond to your playing dynamics in the same way as the real amp.
NAM changes everything! Again! NAM A2 models provide even better quality, and even lower CPU use that the previous NAM A1 models did. And NAM A2 provides amp and effect emulations that are demonstrably, and measurably better than competing commercial amp modeling technologies. And it is available for free to PiPedal users now!
PiPedal 2.0 integrates with Tone3000.com's web services, allowing you to directly install new NAM A2 models on the pipedal server without ever leaving the PiPedal user interface. Or download and install commercially-developed NAM models from a rich ecosystem of model providers.

If your USB audio adapter has MIDI connectors, you can use MIDI devices (keyboards, controllers, or midi floor boards) to control PiPedal while performing. A simple interface allows you to select how you would like to bind PiPedal controls to midi messages.
