Zoom announced the Neurig amp and effects neural modeler on October 27, 2026¹. The company describes it as the world's first pedal with NAM A2 capture¹.

The Neurig runs Zoom's new-generation DNA (Dynamic Neural Archive) Engine, which the company says models how classic amps and effects respond across every knob and parameter, including the interaction of gain and EQ controls¹. It carries 30 DNA amps and effects and 139 effects in total, including drives, modulation, delays and reverbs¹. Native NAM A2 support lets players load captures of amps, pedals, cabinets and complete signal chains, and the SessionZ Pedal app gives free access to more than 700,000 TONE3000 NAM captures and IRs¹. The 22 Multi-Layer IRs each combine three IRs recorded at different volumes, with mic and mic placement selection¹.

Each RIG can hold up to 14 amps and effects with four presets, and the pedal ships with 75 ready-to-play RIGs and room for up to 200 of the player's own¹. Processing is 32-bit float, and Zoom says the unit switches between effects and rigs without audio dropout, with delay and reverb trails ringing out mid-change¹. Effects can run in parallel, and the signal can be split between a stage amp and the PA¹.

The hardware has dual touch screens, weighs under 2 pounds and runs on a built-in rechargeable battery for up to 4.5 hours, with USB power as an alternative¹. It also has built-in Wi-Fi for firmware updates, a USB audio interface, a stereo looper of up to 45 seconds with overdub, undo and redo from the footswitches, and a tuner covering standard, open and DADGAD tunings plus 7-string and down-tuned guitars¹. Over Bluetooth, the SessionZ app handles rig editing, a RIG AI function that builds a rig from a described tone, playback control of YouTube or saved tracks from the pedal, and AI stem separation on audio files from a phone¹.

Guitar Interactive Magazine listed the Neurig among October's releases, noting the update also includes three new Agoura amps and four distortions². No US price or ship date was given in either report.
