KING OF CLEANS | Neural DSP Tone King Imperial Mkii | Free Presets

[@Grahfx]

I launched the trial, then as usual I tried all presets quickly without looking who made it (with the arrow). I stopped on one particular preset saying to myself "wtf it sounds ridiculously good". This preset is called "pushed clean strat" and has been made by you. I bought the plugin because of it lol.

[@joedamore7653]

Your demos are the songs I wish I could write lol. You're both inspiring and humbling to watch, but always thoroughly enjoyable to listen to.

[@JackGardiner]

Too kind Joe! It really means a lot to me mate! Thanks for sticking around! ❤️

[@rgb8534]

@@JackGardiner hey how you come up with these songs?

[@prakharbhardwaj303]

In every plugin your tones are the best! Then you bless us with these amazing demos and give such good lessons as well! You’re a godsend Jack!

[@bilanggoboy]

The licks here are all transcription worthy and amazing snippets of your genius, Jack! What a demo!

[@WTF-Cubing]

The Ibanez AZ2204B is one of the most beautiful production model guitars ever made. The sounds it makes in a great players hands is out of this world.

[@masque1313]

Great demo and man honestly your playing is truly incredible. I cannot imagine waking up everyday and being able to play like that.

[@JackGardiner]

Awh man! Way too kind! ❤️🙏

[@MrHaggyy]

Apart from metal i love gainier sounds that can stil carry open chords or dance around the brakeup point by pick attack. Also i could listen to you play that stuff for hours. Just a great tone and great playing.

[@TomsRockHouse]

Wow! The Demo, Mateus did is great, but you nailed it with the in-depth view. Great sounding amp. Geez!

[@JackGardiner]

Thanks Tom! Mateus is a beast! This amp really is awesome. 🙏

[@southpaw335]

There has been a good number of demos of this new plugin and they are consistently good, but Jack - these tones are stellar !

[@JackGardiner]

Thanks so much man. I really enjoy this plugin. Super easy to play with! 🙏

[@andydavid9]

That pushed clean strat tone! Your lines are so clean man 👏🏼

[@JackGardiner]

Thanks so much Andy! 🙏❤️

[@Yannleon_video]

I have fall in love again with my guitar since I stumbled on neuraldsp amps. First the Cory Wong... then the Imperial Mk2. By the way, incredible technique by Jack Gardiner. I am jealous. ;-)

[@GabrielCyrGuitarist]

Sounds very good! Great demo Jack!!

[@JackGardiner]

Thanks Gabriel! 🙏❤️

[@GlenHefner]

I’m really digging the tones in this suite so far. For anyone looking for some 80’s vibes I find that opening an instance of TKIMii with the “Addictive Lead” preset and an instance of A:TH with the “Use Your Dynamics Lead” with the chorus engaged gives you those big washy chorus lead tones.

[@TheToneWork]

Also my favorite clean (or any) plugin. That second Amp Gain Lead sounds very Brown Sound to me. Nice! Great review!

[@jazzFABRYk]

Came for the plugin and stayed for the playing!! Great, thanks!!

[@billy2129]

Picked up the Tim Henson and the Rabea.....You just sold me on this one!!!! Great playing , Great Demo!!! Great sounding plugin!! 😎

[@ricklachaine5406]

This video is quality throughout. The playing, the presentation, the editing, and the fantastic Neural plugin. I will add this one to the Cali Suite I already own which is also incredible. Thank you for your excellent work.

[@jm.101]

Your playing on the intro track is superb.

[@leonardobadilla3374]

I’ll put it simple: YOU are the goat man!

[@MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

Holly shit your intro solo was insanely catchy! I can only dream to plays phrases like that on day..

That would be epic!

[@mightymikeamps9317]

Holy crap you are monster player!! Subscribed and shared!

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

"Hope you liked the track at the beginning there...?" Fuck yes - I loved it! Absolutely love Neural DSP. I recently bought the Cory Wong plugin and I love it to bits (your patches aren't bad, either!). Like you, I like cleans most of the time. I did trial the Nolly plugin - and I have to say it has great cleans and brutal gains. But this plugin sounds great.

[@philribeiro3320]

Bro, great feeling and demo!

[@andrew6889-p5c]

I’ve resisted plug-in amps for a long time. But I got the free trial, loved it and bought it. It’s outstanding. Also, takes zero time to consistently sound and feel perfect. Also tried the Benson Chinera plug-in (also great) but I think this is slightly better and has a little better definition.

[@angellotomic]

Your voice is fantastic.

[@Inverse_Sense]

Great contribution to the guitar peeps, and just fun to watch and listen to!

[@LeviClay]

Now THIS I’m into!

[@JackGardiner]

Dude - you’ll love it! Especially for Strat/Tele tones. This thing is beast!

[@ctatrains]

Duh! I deleted my change color question after watching again. Killer playing by the way excellent!

[@JackGardiner]

No stress man! It’s one of those ‘blink and you miss it’ haha! Thanks dude! 🙏

[@paultheriault7627]

One of the best players today no question. I'm not why but my tones are always muddy and I have some nice Focals 65...I can never get them this bright

Thanks so much Francis! Means a lot man! 🙏

[@danivallcws]

Nahh, this is just amazing. Great guitar playing and wonderful tones all over the video. This plugin is too much well built on a way that I would be dissapointed if I tried the real amp and I don’t get this tone.

[@TB6491]

Excellent demo! Thanks! Great playing! 🎶🎶🎸

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Best Regard and Best Wishes Jack!

[@JackGardiner]

Thanks bro! The same to you! 🙏

[@VincenzoAvallone]

this is probably the best vst amp sim to play andy timmons material!

[@JackGardiner]

Very true! Tim Henson/Fortin Cali Suite are cool to get some of his more Marshall-style tones too!

[@KrstovicNikola]

TK is a Fender inspired amp (so is the Mesa Lonestar that Andy uses) and i think that OD 2 is actually something BB pre inspired - fat, mid heavy and smooth. So ur absolutely right, this might be Archetype: Timmons in disguise... 😁

[@VincenzoAvallone]

@@KrstovicNikola yeah right? someone has to plug a timmons signature in this and dial some tones i think iit will be the closest you can get without going kemper or axe fx3 etc..it may dial a great eric johnson tone as well

[@KrstovicNikola]

@@VincenzoAvallone Im pretty sure u can do it easily. I have managed to get pretty convincing AT tones out of 2nd OD and amps no 1 and 2 in Archetype Nolly. The only thing we cannot get out of plugins these days is Andy's mind and superb playing skills... 😁

[@fareedjreisat]

That mini-track you opened the video with was so goddamn catchy and cool. I want it in full song form so I can add it to Spotify. :(

[@ourclarioncall]

The tone just sounds so great. How much for an amp and pedals v the plug-in. Is it even worth getting an amp . Hmmm

[@billypilgrim3969]

Jack! Huge fan! Am working through Modern Fusion V.2 at the minute and am using the Quad Cortex to practice. The only setting I really use is your SkyBluePink patch. Awesome playing as always.

[@JackGardiner]

Thanks man! Ahh that’s wicked news! Hope it’s helping out? I love that patch on the Quad - glad you’re enjoying it too! 🙏❤️

Old viddy for a reply, but I was wondering what you replaced your bridge pup with. I have the same guitar and I like the Hyperion in the bridge. I'm afraid of replacing pups on my AZ's because of the funky switch.

Got it since yesterday. I don't like the word "game changer", but to me, finally having a great sounding clean amp with trem is going to make this my number one amp sim. BTW, at 4:25 ... I don't think that's a parametric EQ ...
