UNBIASED GEAR REVIEW Neural DSP Archetype by Plini Guitar Ampsim Plugin

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

Whipping out Mayhem riffs on a PLINI plug. Now I've seen everything.

[@randyeppyt]

Been playing with it since Friday. Such a great plugin.

[@aymericmarchand3472]

Thank you for the in-depth, down to earth and honest review, with practical applications!

[@wavetech_]

I'm really happy you are back and at it again! Love your videos man, keep it up!

[@johnbach2380]

Clean riffs? ... Am I on the wrong channel? :) ... Sounds great sir.

[@manny75586]

My favorite of the Archetype series. If you drop the reverb and delay and push the OD, you can get a straight up Entombed "Wolverine Blues" era tone. The plugin is so much fun to explore.

[@AleArzMusic]

I just tried the presets too and it really surprised me, I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as heavy as the NTS/Nameless suites. Great review as always, thank you so much Arnold!

[@WeylECoyote]

Thanks for the review! If I may, maybe you could try side-chaining your guitar to your mic (or mixing it down manually if you prefer) so we don't hear your guitars strings from the microphone. That would help hearing the actual amp sound more clearly ;) Thanks

[@aryalelfe1476]

Intro song almost reminded me of Alcest, good job!

[@garaughty]

Seriously awesome and versatile tones... excellent demo, much appreciated !

[@rpf23543]

Wow! Beautiful song!

[@Julian66666666666666]

That track was actually beautiful

[@gimmenames9039]

Nice song again! Really cool! Also in your Framus Television videos there are two things I really digg: those bluesy vibes and the early Van Halen sensibilities sneaking in. More of that please ;)

[@gimmenames9039]

With early I mean "Fair Warning" and "Women and Children first." Sorry to offend ;)

[@Wojtasguitar1]

very cool and detailed review ! Sounds awesome :)

[@ruchirsajwan]

even the plini presets are spot on and exactly like the record.

[@Grindermetalhead]

This thing sounds pretty killer

[@Dilpil01]

Arnold can you please review a GOC guitar and the Harley Benton Fusion-II?

[@luketama1]

Great video dude, but can we get that new Aristides video my man?

[@Triumphinchrist1]

Your thoughts on Neural vs S gear or other plugins please?

[@gimmenames9039]

Watched this again since the Archetype Nolly came out. Trying to get a read on the difference of the clean tones. The Plini clean amp seems really special to me while the Nolly clean amp comes across pretty generic in the vids so far. If you do a review on the Nolly Plugin please compare the two!!

[@Protonaut]

Do you think this is a step up from the Nameless and NTS models? Sounds DAMN good to me.

[@wheresallthezombies]

are you saying the fortin stuff sounds bad?

[@Protonaut]

@@wheresallthezombies absolutely not :D they're on top of their game of you ask me. Was just wondering if they managed to top their former success with this one.

[@wheresallthezombies]

@@Protonaut oh gotcha. the fortin stuff is awesome but this thing seems awesome. lol. im downloading the demo right now just to see what it sounds like compared to the fortin stuff.

[@ArnoldPlaysGuitar]

I wouldn’t say a step up. I would say it’s just another tool in the same toolbox. It fits a particular need, particular style seriously well. Just like the other two did.

[@Protonaut]

@@ArnoldPlaysGuitar Hey man, thanks for the input! Keep up the good work.

[@AndGuitar]

Was the demo sounds from a camera mic? I didn’t hear any stereo sounds but definitely heard the guitar being picked up from the mic. Anyway good demo.

[@ArnoldPlaysGuitar]

TheWaterbound07 the demo song was multi tracked as i did the video recordings, but the main body if the video was done in mono down the middle. I just thought that might be a better representation of what one, solitary track would sound like. But no, it was in pro tools.

[@AndGuitar]

ArnoldPlaysGuitar thanks for the reply!

[@lautarogarcia2415]

Hey man, could you review the Jackson Js-11? It's a starter guitar but it has INSANE value, decent tuners, pickups, graphite reinforced neck, great paint job and no fret edges (without binding) for $149.

[@alanlopez81]

what i can use live?

[@Makron220]

Am I the only one who has noticed that the guitar is slightly out of tune in later parts of the video? Great review anyway.

[@DestroyingTheDevoid]

Cool video! When the hell did they start making Surge again?! Haha

[@TheChrispablo]

nice tune Arnold, i get some Ghostbath vibes from it.

[@fredriksvard2603]

Can i control this with a midi footswitch or do i have to fiddle with the computer

[@Kessellish]

Thats what i want to know

[@NourMohamed-xe8zw]

Should I get this or Bias FX 2?

[@chhau123]

Nour Mohamed totally this, Bias is garbage

[@ArnoldPlaysGuitar]

Bias is trash. Get anything from Neural.

[@wheresallthezombies]

fuck that intro song was awesome.

[@nunobv79]

Why shoes your Kemper inputsignal while you are playing??? I thing you have use the Kemper :):):):):)

[@ArnoldPlaysGuitar]

Nuno Bernardes in this case, it is a $2000 tuner. I have my Kemper routed to Mic 1 of my focusrite, and a clean DI from a passive DI box (that sits in front of the Kemper) is routed into mic 4 which is what i use for using ampsim plugins. All tracks are mic 4.

[@jonborrmann3124]

@@ArnoldPlaysGuitar follow up question Arnold. Why use a DI box instead of the focusrite as a DI..??

[@ArnoldPlaysGuitar]

Jon Borrmann to split the input signal. It’s in front so that i get essentially the same signal going through the Kemper and also into the DI at the same time. That way i could reamp if i felt the need.

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

How could you compare with Kemper equivalent?

[@ArnoldPlaysGuitar]

$135 for an ampsim plugin vs. $2000-ish for an amp modeller. I mean, that’s like comparing a bicycle to a sedan when all you are getting either just to take you to work 3 miles down the road.

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

ArnoldPlaysGuitar I was talking about pleasure to play

[@Qwaszxxl]

So early it's still 360p. Love this channel!

[@V1C10US]

Black gays 1? Trying out the 14 day trial. I'm impressed so far.

[@lockedowng]

Been on a deafheaven kick? Yea, me too.

[@davehill9951]

So I see ya get the Godfather on your desk, meaning the Kemper, why would you need this software? More hits I guess. With all the video's you produce, when do you find time to play out live? Just askin

[@ArnoldPlaysGuitar]

Honestly, I don't play live. Because bandmates and I do not get along. Ask anyone I have ever been in a band with and I am reasonably sure they will tell you they like me a lot better now that I am not being a cunt at the rehearsal space. As for why I have the Kemper AND the software...I just love variety and I am never satisfied. I am always looking for the perfect guitar, amp, ampsim, whatever.

[@JS-un1nq]

@@ArnoldPlaysGuitar what about the axe fx 3 then :) ?
