Hey davlav, thanks for your videos. They definitely help us newcomers to figure out this QC. I think maybe there's a bug in 3.0.0 if you feed a transparent blend from a freeze, you get garbled sound :( have you noticed that?

I've changed both humbucker to Gibson 490. It's a hugh different and more bluesy tone.

Very nice playing

My man… I downloaded your preset and used it last night at Fiddlers Green Amphitheater in CO. and MAN… Killer! Using it again tonight at Ford Amphitheater. Thanks so much for these! I vote make more Plini X presets! Best, -Z

Had it a while but don’t have or use a computer , help

I believe the doubler is nothing more than the Haas effect.

Swear this guy keeps sayin swamp ass.

Quick question for anyone who has one, does the knob create a scratchy sound or any sound when turning it rapidly between settings on any of the 3 modes? I bought one a while back and it seemed a bit defective - was making unwanted noises as I switched between settings. - perhaps that one was a dud.

They are cool but waaaaay overpriced!

Nicely done! #WeMakePRS

Great tutorial - good mix of low/high level detail, was really useful. Thank you!

After watching the youtube video of Mateus reviewing his own plugin and dialing in his tone, I grabbed the Asato - I have been using that and love it, killer tone for days.

Am I crazy? At 9:37 when you switched to A Major Pentatonic it sounded like the harmonized notes were wrong.

I think it sounds cool.

Great comparison! For me the plugin has been a game changer. Maybe it's just me, my ears and feel under my fingers but the Archetype: Plini X is the first time I thought ok, maybe I can go direct to board with no amp on stage. I am hoping they'll move priority of the Tone King plugin up a little bit. I can see where they are shooting for their main buyers which are heavier metal folks, but I think there's more than enough classic rock guys out there that would eat up some Tone King in a heartbeat.

doesn't sound quite like a JPIIC, sounds good but it lacks something idk, I prefer the jp models in the fractal or amps 3-4 in the petrucci plugin

Agree that I like the plugin better. Can’t wait for the x version as I already own the plug-in. Nice comparison in any case!

I own plini, gojira, petrucci, and Wong (got them all before compatibility was announced, so I got lucky!). Just got a QC last month and now my personal priority would be buying ones that I can use on qc. I want the mateus asato. But it's not on the coming soon list, so I'm probably gonna be waiting a year or more to be able to use it on the qc. For me personally that's not worth it. I'm gonna wait until they announce an x that I really want and save it for that

Excellent video as usual! I guess I am the outlier here and like the captures. They sound similar to how an Imperial sounds in the room. That said, the captures do seem to have a low-end boom at 100-120Hz. In contrast, this sometimes makes the plugin seem anemic when put up against the amalgam. I don't know about you David, but I have been having to HPF a number of my amalgam IRs at 80-100 to make them sound correct. Is something weird going on with the IR loader on the QC? Would be curious if you did a quick A/B of the plugin vs captures with the same built in cab, *if the plugin and the QC share one that is!

Hi Davlav, Can you help me out please. I watched the clip about the effectloop with Tonex> I think i did the same , but when i switch from an amp in the QC with reverb and delay. And switch to the effecloop i here the dry signal from the tonex mixed with the delay and reverb. i dont want to here a dry signal . i something wrong. Gr ,Harry

To my ears, other than the clean patch, I prefer the plugin as well. The clean patches sound pretty similar. The Edge sounds on the plugin sounds so much richer, including the delay sound. I'm not sure if you changed the effects at all between the different patches, but it's much creamier and fuller on the plug-in to me. The lead sound also sounds better on the plug-in for the most part, but the low notes are a bit flubby. Not as bad as one of the plugins you tested the other day that had a horrible flubby low end sound, but enough that it was not quite as appealing. The higher tones sounded pretty good however. Thanks for doing this comparison. I think you also said you had some 5150 captures. It might be interesting to see what you can do comparing plugin versions to the captures on that amp as well. I know you're not a high gain guy, but I would love to hear what you come up with.

Id always prefer the model (eg the plugin) over a capture. That said I don’t see the value for dollar on the Tone King plugin vs some of the other more feature rich plugins… heck even Morello has more features and a unique wah

I stumbled on this video....I'm a Fractal user that is QC curious (and use Tonex w/Amalgam captures on my backup rig). Another factor to me would be cost. The Neural plugins seem to be $100+ whereas the Amalgam captures run between $15 and $35. I can see the utility of having the plugin directly on the unit as a plus. There seems to be enough variety on the Amalgam packs to get you the tones you'd want. I can see Neural using unique effects in a plugin (e.g. Plini X) as a way of enticing people to buying them.

I use the plugin on a di channel and the capture on a wet one , just for a bit of depth, they are doing a good job in an evolving environment

Thats weird, I usually like captures, but I thought the plugin sounded better here. Maybe try captures of the plugin? You could get them all during the trials lol

Good video! To my ears QC sounds a little more like the "real thing".

Having tried a few now, I am leaning towards Mateus Asato as I like the basic core tones, and the stomps and effects a little bit different .. will it ever make it to QC in my lifetime ...who knows.

Most usable for me is the Plini X

The mod rate and mod depth being on two different pages is annoying me :)

Gojiras's 3rd cab is a godsent! I chose Gojira and I am in tone heaven. Swap the Plini's boxy cabs with Gojira's 2nd and 3rd caband you're there =)

Nothing To Do with Compatibility, But I think I’ll take Archetype Asato and try to Capture some of the Sounds that I like on the Quad Cortex

is this uploaded on the cloud? sounds fantastic and would love to try it

With the mini voice you managed to reach Malmsteen's timbre, I am a Viking song I can't reach.

Gibson studio and this one. Prs wins

So dual delay can be accomplished with this set up for anyone interested. I put both amps on the first row cab, chorus, dual delay, concert reverb on the second. I was also able to put the same compressor, gate, and a tube screamer. I think the ampero is just a little quirky when it comes to the signal chain flow.

Did you put the pitch shifter after the cab block?? 7:48

Omega granophyre would be one I want but also have good enough captures there. What question I’m really debating is would future unreleased plugins just be X versions or would they be QC compatible day 1? Realistically I may just grab Gojira for free, then wait for Black Friday to get Nolly at a heavy discount

Hey David... I am still somewhat new to this whole QC thing, but I am an experienced engineer and I agree on your assessments re: DI and IR. Btw, do you have any of the "Cab In The Room" IRs from Amalgam? Something seems off with those. Feels way too short to be a room sound. And it's super low level! Just reading that the QC truncates IRs to 21ms. That is a bummer.

No need for PC plugins for me and certainly not the over the top eye candy, way too much Apple sauce. I got the free Gojira and besides the initial excitement I don't actually need it, there's plenty of good models in the QC already and hopefully many more to come sooner rather than later.

So I could do this with my whole pedal board that’s awesome did not know that

Got the free Plini X with the latest update to the QC. Will add the Nolly when ready, If you can't do it with those two it's time for a new hobby.

Very helpful! Thank you!

What do you like more Nolly or Plini?

Sadly, the plugins i want most on the QC - Rabea and Tim Henson - are likely to take the longest

I ended up picking the Asato. I was going to get Morgan at some point but I’ve decided that I would like the Gojira more based on your demo. Our music tastes are similar and though I don’t use high gain very much, those clean and EOB tones sounded very good with Gojira.

Gojira has a whammy pedal that I think is a little better at doing the pitch effects I like than the one that’s currently in the QC. That was a main deciding factor for me. The reverbs and delay also turned out to be really nice. I feel like a lot of what’s already in the qc can reach the tones you might want for any style already. Best sounding modeling unit out there imo.

I grabbed the Asato with mine. I know it may take a long time to get it in the QC, but I love the amps and effects.

Try putting the Fuzz Pi into the Vemural Ray.

My 2 cents. Gojita is worth trialing. It’s actually got some good cleans and pedals. Love Rabea but also think that’s going to be one of the last given how hard the synth is going to take to port. Edit: I’d also check out Rabea’s presets on Gojira

Man… Neural should pay you! I’m going to buy the Plini because this video! Clean and drives at the right measure! Perfect! Thank you for the video!
