Does a box exist to run NAM, or would I be best with the toneX?

Hello everyone, since my other amplifier has suffered issues I remembered about NAM, and after trying different amp captures and IR's I have found something I am happy with playing.

However, for me to play I need to be connected to my audio interface and have my Macbook pro running NAM.

I would ideally like a box similar to the toneX that can run NAM, does anyone here know of anything that exists as I cannot find one for the life of me searching google.

I really want it in a pedal style box so I can easily switch between profiles and also not need to run my computer and monitors to be able to play.

Would I also need an FRFR speaker to run such a thing, or could I simply use my current cab and make sure no IR is loaded in NAM? I realise I may need some sort of amplifier to play it through my cab, but am really new to this.

For the cost would I be better off with the toneX as a standalone unit?

I do hope someone can help me as I really am enjoying the use of NAM, but I can't take my whole studio setup with me if I go to play somewhere else.

Thanks for the help, Conan.

Thank you! I wasn't expecting it to be more expensive than the toneX if I am honest though, so think the toneX would suit me better.

Also thinking about it, the toneX offers things such as a noise gate and effects pedals whereas with NAM it will only be the amp and IR modelling.

I think for now I will just use NAM at home through my interface, then when funds allow I will get the toneX. I can't believe I am thinking about jumping from an amp to something that models, but it has come leaps and bounds over the years. I remember my first electric guitar amp, a line 6 spider IV 75W, and that thing sounded awful with its modelling.

Within NAM I can get something that actually sounds good, at least to my ears.
