Show HN: TONE3000 – Community for Neural Amp Modeling with 90k+ models trained

hi HN. I've been working on TONE3000 (formerly ToneHunt): a platform that's become the largest community for tone modeling using Neural Amp Modeling (NAM).

Since launching in March, we've hit 90K+ models trained by our community that have been downloaded 1.3 million times. NAM is an open-source project using CNNs to model the sound of any guitar amp, pedal, outboard gear and more. These tone models can be played real-time with low latency. TONE3000 started as a fork that enabled training with any dry/wet audio pair via our datacenter GPUs (https://www.tone3000.com/capture?type=dry-wet) and has since grown into a full featured platform with an incredible community of artists training, sharing and discovering tone models.

What I'm releasing today:

-- v1 API (https://www.tone3000.com/api): Lets plugin developers and hardware manufacturers integrate NAM model loading directly into their products. Training endpoints coming soon!

-- Open-sourced our web player (https://github.com/tone-3000/neural-amp-modeler-wasm): Runs NAM models directly in browsers using WebAssembly.

-- Example web app (https://github.com/tone-3000/api): Shows how to integrate the API for TONE3000-powered applications.

The vision:

We hope to push NAM to become an open standard in audio modeling. Our extensive library of tones, API and open-source tools make it accessible to any developer or manufacturer. Ultimately we want to democratize high-quality modeling for all musicians.

Real-world adoption:

Hardware manufacturers are building NAM support into their products. Darkglass Electronics launched ANAGRAM (https://www.tone3000.com/blog/unveiling-anagram-darkglass-el...) - the first bass pedal with built-in NAM support, and Dimehead released a dedicated NAM player (https://www.dimehead.de/). Both load models from our platform. And I’m seeing more and more DAW plugin support (https://wavemind.net/software)

The platform will remain free while I continue to work on monetization tools for our awesome creators. Whether you're a bedroom producer or touring musician, you can capture your favorite gear and share it with the world.

Thoughts? Working on DSP, audio ML? Ideas for where this could go?
