Your whole rig.
In your pocket.
AmpHoarder plays NAM amp captures and impulse responses from the TONE3000 catalogue, live on Android, through its own USB audio code: 7.08 ms from string to speaker on a current flagship Android phone. Stomp between rigs with a foot controller. Every feature is free.

Android, at seven milliseconds.
Low-latency guitar on a phone has mostly been an iPhone story. Android's standard audio path takes 18 to 21 ms from string to speaker, and you feel every one. AmpHoarder goes around it: its own USB audio code talks to your interface directly, and a current flagship Android phone plays back in 7.08 ms.
- Its own USB audio host. Isochronous USB transfers and USB Audio 2.0, written for AmpHoarder, in place of Android's audio stack.
- On by default. Plug in a class-compliant USB interface and play.
- A safe fallback. When Direct USB is off, standard Android audio takes over.

The studio plugin, on a phone.
A reference test on every build holds the engine to the official NAM plugin: 122 to 157 dB of agreement on WaveNet captures. A capture sounds on your phone the way it sounds in a studio.

A2 runs on TONE3000's generated engine at about half the CPU of the older one. Each capture's own latency is measured at load, so Mix lines up.
Four full captures, running at once.
Full A2 is the most accurate capture NAM makes, and it scored highest in the listening test. A current flagship Android phone plays four of them together in one rig, with room to spare. Building a bigger rig? Light captures cost about a fifth as much, so a rig can hold up to 16.

Four rigs. One per footswitch.
A Stack seats four rigs, A to D. Stomp to switch. Stomp C and D together for the next Stack, A and B for the one before, and the same four switches reach four new rigs. B and C together bring up the tuner, and again put it away. Press the pedal below.

Post a rig. Anyone can play it.
Post a rig from the app and it gets its own page. The link opens it in AmpHoarder, or plays it in a browser. A post carries tone ids, never files, so the captures still come from TONE3000.

One Stack. Every screen you own.
Change a rig on the laptop and the phone on your board has it about a second later. Your phone, tablet and browser stay on the same rigs and the same Stacks.
A live channel per player
Each signed-in device holds one secure websocket open to your account. An edit is sent as a small signal on it, and every other device you have open picks it up within about a second. No polling, no refresh.
Merged, never asked
Every rig, Stack and piece of gear merges on its own. When two devices changed the same one, the newer edit wins and the other is kept in history, so nothing you made is lost.
Quiet on stage
A change to the rig you are playing lands with the usual crossfade. While the stage lock is up, it waits until you leave it.
