SG has the user presets and all IR files stored in your <My Documents>/PD Space Guitar folder.
The exact <My Documents> name depends on your OS, on iOS it is "On my Ipad"/"On my Iphone"

> Documents ( on iOS it is "On my Ipad"/"On my Iphone" )

        >NAM           <-- SG 2.0.44 and up: your NAM captures. E.g get them fron Tonehunt.org

You can not delete the factory wav's and nam: they will be reinstalled automatically. this to preserve consistent behaviour in the factory presets.

When using NAM's it is important to realise what your computer is capable of: so called "high accuracy" captures cost high CPU.
On Tonehunt.org you can find light, nano and feather models to use via the search filters:

Please dont forget: you only need NAM for getting a classic guitar overdrive sound. You can also leave it off: all first 259 factory presets don't use NAM ;)

How to use this on IOS:
Due to the hilariously complicated and convoluted system Apple provided for appgroups and filesharing within, SG has to resort to some kind of syncing.

In short:
  • update files in iOS filemanager
  • start SG standalone to update AUv3 (wait for popup)
  • now you can start your host with SG.

In detail:
1) You can add/delete cabinet,reverb and NAM in the iOS filemanager in folder "On my Ipad"/ PD Space Guitar
2) restart the standalone app
3) The standalone app will start an update thread: as soon as it founds all changed files it will show a popup with how many files are prepared for syncing with the AUv3. You may now quit the standalone, if you want to use the AUv3 in a host.
4) Open your host, in the SG auv3, as soon as you click to change a cab,verb or NAM, the update from the standalone is fetched.
