Meet the NUX Amp Academy Stomp

Your Entire Amp Rig in a Single Stomp

A powerhouse amp modeller and effects pedal that delivers pro studio tone and live-stage flexibility in one compact unit.

Next-Gen TS/AC-4K Dual-DSP Amp Modeling

Why NUX's amp modeling technology stands out from the rest of the market. 

The Amp Academy Stomp uses next-level amp modeling that simulates every part of a real amp — from the preamp to the power tubes — using two powerful processors acting separately.

This separation means both can run independently at full quality with zero compromise or lag.

This gives you authentic tone, real amp feel, and the flexibility to build your dream rig inside one compact pedal.

  • One chip handles amp modeling — simulating tubes, power, and tone stacks.
  • The other chip handles effects (like delay, reverb, compression, etc.).

Additionally, the Amp Academy Stomp uses premium A/D & D/A converters and analog circuits to achieve a clear sound with low noise levels.

NAM Capture Technology

Modeler & Profiler — The Best of Both Worlds

With NUX IMAGE Black-Box technology, you can load NAM captures of your favorite amplifiers directly into the device, opening a whole new world of tone.

  • 3 DEEP-IMAGE multi-layer captures are included.
  • Up to 30 slots for NAM profiles are available.

Cyber IR™ Technology

Built In Studio Realism

Using advanced impulse response processing, NUX’s next-generation Cyber IR™ Technology faithfully recreates the sound of real amps and speakers — complete with virtual microphone, position, and distance controls so you can dial in the perfect mic setup without ever touching a stand.

With stereo IR capability and ultra-low latency, the Amp Academy Stomp delivers wide, lifelike sound that responds instantly to your playing. Whether you’re recording direct, running to front-of-house, or practicing with headphones, every detail of your tone stays authentic, dynamic, and crystal-clear.

Create Your Ideal Signal Chain

The Amp Academy Stomp gives you nine flexible effect blocks — including noise gate, compressor, modulation, amp, EQ, send/return, cab IR, delay, and reverb — that can be arranged in a wide variety of combinations. Your signal path will always end with IR, delay, and reverb blocks; the delay and reverb can be rearranged.

Build your dream rig from the ground up, whether you’re chasing tight studio precision or sprawling ambient layers.

For even more flexibility, you can run delay and reverb in Serial Mode to feed your echoes in cavernous spaces or in Parallel Mode to keep the effects separate for cleaner ambient patches.
