How I Got My Tone with Archetype Tim Henson

[@CharlieRobbins]

Hey everyone! Tab packs are in the bio! I also have a patreon with a lot of goodies! Thank you for the support 🤘🏻

[@tofubrofu]

Charlie Tabs for the Archetype TH riff when 🥺

[@napostrophen]

I like the idea of having these digital effects rather than having a ton on physical pedals to bring around

[@CharlieRobbins]

I agree, I have a terrible anxiety when it comes to cables and such haha

[@napostrophen]

@@CharlieRobbins definitely would try them. I’ve been off guitar for years and ended up selling, but watching your stuff had peaked my interest to pickup again or do something similar with a bass😋

[@StevenDoesStuff]

Don't say that out loud, the "digital effects will never be as good as REAL pedals" people are gonna hear this

[@amoshopson7923]

@@StevenDoesStuff I got 2k on my actual pedal board. The Headrush digital processor and a MacBook with neural dsp replaced everything. I bring my guitar, processor, a laptop with a interface Velcro to it with a cable to plug into the mixer in one trip from the car and im playing. Setup takes 5 minutes. Screw having a board people either end up stepping on or spilling something on. Digital is where it’s at

[@harshgarrett]

Unfortunately, they still have yet to add plugins to the quad cortex so you'd have to play on a laptop if you want these tones live

[@EnterJustice]

Charlie's single coil: heavy compression, amp that almost crunches (boost gain a bit, or use an overdrive), EQ (boost 250 to thicken, cut 500 for boxiness & also cut 1k same amount, boost 2k, pull down 4k, raise 8k voor liveliness), reverb for a bit of room

[@kylemlsantos97]

What kind of compressor should I look for? A lot of the stock compressors in DAWs dont get me quite there :(

[@ThePhlegming]

Wow that tone for the Selective Harmony... What the flip, that was dope

[@ryanisheartless]

Loved this man! Thanks for giving us all an idea of how you go about sculpting sounds and tones with these plugins. Helps to give people like me more of an idea of where to start creating my own presets, rather than just using everyone else’s. It was also super helpful hearing you explain your EQ choices.

[@CharlieRobbins]

Heck yeah dude! So glad I could help! 🤘🏻

[@youdidntcatchme6943]

Your tone is nuts on there. Makin my active stuff sound like my old single coil Strat. Out of all of the presets I thought yours were the best. Just free trial right now but I might just buy it now. Very cool!!

[@saysay_]

Nice I always loved your presets, that’s cool to see how you got them !

Thanks dude 💙

Thanks!

For some reason you look like young Hercules from the old Disney movie 😂 but slaying as always love the tone solid af 🤟

[@berziimusic]

"Fun Synth" is pretty cool for groovy 70's samples or 80's synthwave sampled trap beats or boom bap style stuff, I messed around with it for a while and got some pretty cool sounds

[@CharlieRobbins]

glad ya dig it!

[@vincejustinebaleza7948]

So niceeee

[@ItsDrewsif]

I’m here for the fun synth patch 😎

[@CharlieRobbins]

Ayeee 💙

[@ATothFTW18]

Your playing is top notch. I have the Archetype: Tim Henson but am struggling to get a good tone with any amount of overdrive/distortion. I feel like the patches sound thin but also muffled at the same time. Any tips on how to adjust the EQ or any other remedies?

[@jitarthatalukdar]

whats your guitar model? looks sick

[@JoeDaveycrockettsoundlabs]

Oh man this is so generous. Thanks for the step through on your tone choices, the what’s and why’s. But dang, yer video isn’t in stereo so all the pan effects are totally lost.

[@CharlieRobbins]

Ahhh dang just noticed that haha I’ve been having issues trying to record the screen/audio. Luckily it’s just the video! The presets should be all set for you!

Cool beans man. I got a pedal buddy who might like this.

[@CharlieRobbins]

Thanks! 🤘🏻

[@string_walker]

Hey! Great video by the way. I have this plugin and Im having fun with it but I have a question. Im new to this digital plugin world and when I use all the pre amp pedals, If I turn the amp gain max as well and if I push slighly on any note on the fretboard there is this signal noise I guess its not that loud and its clean but is it supposed to be there? Is it from the gain of the pedals and the amp? So again, if I pick the note your wont hear it but if I just fret the note with a hammer on and hold it, its there.

[@thirocha352]

cooooll 12:37

[@zsoreignsanchez9720]

How do you avoid that passive pickup hum/noise? Everything sounds so clean!

[@CharlieRobbins]

I actually have it pretty often, but you can help it with the gate on the plugin!

[@zsoreignsanchez9720]

@@CharlieRobbins Lol I just tried it now and it worked out wonders, so simple. Thanks a bunch!!

Can this preset be dialled in to QC with CorOS3.0 release??

[@HarshvardhanKanthode]

This tone is so sick but how do I buy the skill that I need to play this? 😂

[@1_i_Pi]

unreal my man discovered you when the abasi plugin came out but the file doesn't have the tim henson presets? or I'm missing something obvious. Thanks lmao

[@1_i_Pi]

I'm an idiot I found em obviously you're already included with the plugin by now.. carry on

How do we import this preset into reaper?

[@frostycuriosity4386]

What is your computer set up, do you have really any latency

[@jester8585]

Hey man, nice vid, love your tone!! But i also wanted to ask, how do you connect your guitar to the Archetype setup?

Just the usual maintenance kits!

[@DynastyUK]

@@CharlieRobbins Cheers man :)

[@Strange_Logik]

Hey, quick question: How do you get set up for this? I have a focusrite scarlet, and plugging my guitar into it and running neural dsp my guitar is really noisy if I have any gain, and it’s not very sensitive (like I have to play really hard to get all my lead notes picked up, I ye not very responsive) I figure if anyone knew the answers to this it would be you, whatever have looked around but can’t find anything

[@py0rt]

If you still haven't figured it out, make sure you've pressed the "INST" button on the input you're using. Also adjust your gain knob making sure that it stays green while you play. Make sure to select ASIO for your scarlett in audio device settings as well

[@Strange_Logik]

@@py0rt when I do that, even on zero gain from the interface, it is absurdly noisy in a way that the gate doesn’t fix. Turn the tone into static basically

[@py0rt]

@@Strange_Logik It doesn't do that on a normal amp? If it makes the static noise with another amp it might be something with the ground wire in your guitar.

[@Strange_Logik]

@@py0rt don’t have a normal amp to check, but I doubt it. I listened to examples, and it seems to me like the signal is so close to the noise floor and neural is amplifying all of it somewhat equally. Is there something I should be doing to separate the signal from the noise floor?

[@py0rt]

@@Strange_Logik What if you try to press the direct monitor button once without neural dsp open? That should play just your guitar through your speakers. This way we can figure out if it's a neural issue or a guitar/interface issue

[@ppman_-9039]

Dumb question but how do you use these plugins as an amp

[@afroditta6950]

plug your guitar in your interface -> load the plugin in your preferred DAW or as a standalone (Neural DSPs can be standalones) -> output the sound on some decent studio monitors or headphones. Some plugins have only the amp part (you'll need cabinets or IRs to run with it), Neural has his own cabs besides amps.

[@malhooper4198]

Please turn that riff at 13:30 into a song.

[@randomname191]

Meanwhile I still can’t hear the difference between fully compressed and not compressed at all

[@CharlieRobbins]

Yeah it takes a while to hear the difference. Also try making sure you play as well cause it feels different, maybe that will help you start identifying it quicker!

[@randomname191]

@@CharlieRobbins Thanks!

[@chrisking6695]

You sound like everyone else with that plugin. It's got such a distinct sound no matter what you dial in you'll sound like Tim and everyone who uses his stuff.

[@afroditta6950]

exactly :) nothing original can come from this plugin just a bunch of Tims

[@agustinfrusto]

Nah, it's just a jcm 800 simil an acoustic simulator and I don't know what the white amp is but it sounds good (something similar to an ac30 maybe), you can get a lot of tones no matters the name of the pluggin... I used the pink one in one of the guitars for a hard rock band track's and they loved it. The fact everyone sound exactly the same is the same reason every ACDC fan wanted to sound like angus, but now you can do it for $99 and it's ok bc this sound is completely reacheable digitally, but you can get much more of this or any pluggin

[@AlternateUniverse]

Slags/eye rolls 80s guitar tones yet is unaware that they shaped everything that he now bases all of his tones off of. lol
