How do i connect the matribox to an amp?
Customer Reviews
Hopefully there will be a Firmware update because the distribution with volume 70 sounds broken
Hello, I’m using a MacBook Pro 2021 with Apple M1 and the latest macOS.
Matribox Software V1.0.2 opens correctly, but when I connect the Matribox pedal, the software crashes consistently at around 8%.
I already tested:
* Rosetta enabled
* Safe Mode
* Reinstalling the software
* Different USB attempts
The device works correctly on Windows and also on another Mac.
Crash log shows:
EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Segmentation fault: 11
JUCE Message Thread
It seems the Mac software may have an Apple Silicon compatibility issue. Could you provide an updated Apple Silicon compatible version or a fix?
Hi Sonicake, I recently purchased the Matribox 1 and it is disappointing to receive it and have the software not work. I need help. I have already tried everything and nothing works. This is what appears every time I connect it. I have already installed the previous version and the latest version of the software and neither one works.
Hi Sonicake team,
First, thank you for the V1.1.0 firmware — adding NAM support to the Matribox QME-50 was a meaningful upgrade, and the community has been making great use of it.
I'd like to formally request support for NAM Architecture 2 (A2), just announced by TONE3000 on June 2, 2026, in partnership with NAM creator Steve Atkinson.
A few reasons why this matters specifically for the QME-50:
1. A2-Lite runs natively on an ARM Cortex-M7 at 600MHz — hardware well within the QME-50's range — without lossy conversion. The current A1 implementation requires conversion that measurably degrades dynamic response and harmonic accuracy.
2. In the largest blind listening test ever conducted for amp modeling (1,000+ participants, 100,000+ ratings, MUSHRA methodology), A2 outperformed Neural DSP Capture V2, IK ToneX, and Line 6 Proxy by a wide margin.
3. A2 is fully open source. The inference engine is freely available, meaning integration cost is minimal.
HeadRush, Blackstar, Lava Music, Chaos Audio and others have already committed to native A2 support. The QME-50 has the hardware to do the same — it just needs a firmware update.
This would transform the QME-50 from a pedal that converts NAM into one that runs it natively, putting it in the same tier as hardware costing 5–10× more in terms of amp modeling accuracy. This would possibly allow the CAB slot to be activated for an IR. Sales of the Matribox 1 would explode again.
Please consider adding this to your roadmap. The community is watching — and ready.
Yes, I think it needs some improvements, and that's that you have to be very careful with the volume levels because otherwise it generates a very unpleasant digital distortion. I think that would be the most important thing. I'm eagerly awaiting the firmware update, hopefully with that improvement and the ability to load NAM files. It's already November; is there a date for it to be released? Thanks
