# Tonocracy
Tonocracy is guitar tone and effects software by Atomic Amplifiers. It's free, and it runs as a plugin or as a standalone app. Inside: amp modeling, AI-based amp captures and a community tone library.
## Key features
- **ToneSnap**: capture your own amps, cabs and pedals with any audio interface. The AI training runs in the cloud, so you don't need a beefy CPU/GPU. You can share captures in a public library, which holds everything from well-known creators to regular community members
- **SchemAccurate**: amp models that mix component-level modeling with AI. The lineup is inspired by Marshall, EVH, Mesa Boogie, Dumble, Fender, Vox and Friedman amps
- **[[Neural Amp Modeler]] (NAM) support**: loads third-party NAM models
- **Cabinet IRs**: factory cab impulse responses from ML Sound Lab
- **Partner content**: ToneSnaps from Amalgam Audio and others
- **Price**: free (it used to be paid)
## Usage
Load it as a plugin on a guitar track (DI input) in a DAW like [[Reaper]], or run it standalone to practice.
