Sonicake PocketMaster using a Polytone NAM File. (Quick short recording)

[GuyBoden]

Here is a quick recording of the Polytone NAM file played thru a Sonicake PocketMaster device.

I pick with fingers, so there is a lot of bass. (I should have turned the bass lower and treble higher.)

First I played some chords, then I played some single note lines.

No reverb, only a recording mic in front of an Alto active speaker, so that you can hear the NAM file raw.

These are very inexpensive devices I paid the following:

Sonicake PocketMaster £35

Polytone NAM file free. This link: Polytone Mini Brute III 15" (Jazz Only) NAM Profiles

Alto Active Speaker £135

Here's another recording too.

Hi Guy,
Joe DeNisco here, how are you. I am glad to see/hear someone using this device with a Jazz guitar!
As a digital interface, My Boss GT001 doesn’t work with my RIFF/iPhone into the BlackMagic Camera App.
I’m hoping this device does work.
Great stuff Guy. Thank you for posting this!

How do you manage EQ? Is this embedded in the NAM file (e.g., you get the EQ the model was made with), can you adjust it on the Sonicake device or on a computer used to load the file into the device? Or just with the output device. I like dark and fat tone, but this is way too dark for me. It sure does sound like my old Polytone MBII with the treble rolled off, though.

You get all that malleability on the Dime Head NAM Player. -Phil

Thanks for doing this.. so many new tools to learn about and the recordings help frame expectations.
