| Spec score · Guitar Amp Software | 8.1 (#6) | 7.6 (#14) |
| Cabinet simulation | A cabinet simulator using impulse response files runs after the amp model, and IR files can be WAV or FLAC. | The cabsim includes hundreds of IRs by Adam “Nolly” Getgood, six positionable virtual microphones, and support for loading user IR files. |
| Headquarters | Turin, Italy | Helsinki, Finland |
| Purpose | AIDA-X is an AI amp model player for loading and playing models of music gear, mainly for high-fidelity amplifier simulations. | A guitar amp plugin recreating the Soldano SLO-100 and its American high-gain tone. |
| Support | The project points users to the MOD Forum's Neural Modelling section for discussion and sharing amp models. | Neural DSP offers registered users free technical support by email and says it does not provide support by phone. |

In their own words
AIDA-X
AIDA-X is a free AI amp model player for loading and playing music-gear models, primarily for high-fidelity amplifier simulations. Signal chains can combine amp and cabinet models with distortion, drive, fuzz, boost, and EQ. The desktop plugin supports CLAP, LV2, VST2, and VST3, and a standalone version is available. Its cabinet simulator follows the amp model and accepts WAV or FLAC impulse-response files. Controls include input and output meters, bypass, input level, EQ tone controls, and output level. Desktop installers are provided for macOS and Windows, with Linux binary tarballs. The experimental browser version runs in WebAssembly-capable browsers and lets users load their own amp models and cabinet IRs, but it uses preselected guitar loops instead of audio input. The standalone app connects to the system-default audio device and does not offer another input or output selection. Desktop builds are unsigned and may trigger untrusted-developer warnings. AIDA-X is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later.
