Let's talk about Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) - Interview with Steven Atkinson (Creator of NAM)

In this video I have a talk with Steven Atkinson who is the creator of Neural Amp Modeler. Since Neural Amp Modeler (or NAM in short) beats Kemper, Quad Cortex and ToneX all together I wanted to have a talk with him and nerd out about amp modeling.
