Pay attention to the "eye" on the amp. When that thing starts flashing it means the AI has become self-aware, and you should run.

Most of the archetype plugins haven't ever really made me crave their sounds over the Nolly version I have already. Then this showed up and damn does it do everything to add so many good flavors of sound!

[@jani14jani]

Have you tried their Gojira plugin? It's very good. I guess if you want a more refined and cleaner tone the Nolly one is better but if you want a dirtier tone you can't beat their Gojira plugin.

[@fateunleashed9680]

@@jani14jani I have and don't get me wrong it's got some good additions like phaser, pitch shifter, and octave. I also loved the acoustic amp and the new delay types/mode feature from the Tim Henson too! Hell even the Cory Wong is cool with the reverb with a shimmer added on. That's why the petrucci is the perfect all in one plugin as it has most of the features I like across the multiple plugins. With the transpose and room sound options to me it makes it beyond a crazy bang for your bucks.

[@Bogdan27911]

Each is great in their own right. The Fortin NTS is awesome for chugging and the Plini is so good for leads.

[@KeepTheGates]

Same. I've tried everything aside from Henson and JP, and while they were all great sims they didn't offer anything too special compared to Nolly. I'd jump on a NDSP Archon, Bogner, or Revv in a heartbeat, but everything since Nolly sounds like a 5150 or Mesa clone when it comes to high gain. Between Nameless, Omega and Nolly, none of their high gain amps sell for me.

[@dejja7376]

@@jani14jani the gojira one is soo good. you can actually get a great nirvana tone with it, the first amp is a twin reverb

It also has room fx/shaping on the speakers section which i think is only in the Petrucci

[@HVTFIELDOFFICIAL]

I actually used the doubler for some recordings and it actually mixed pretty well I just kept making it progressively wider lol

[@Chris971.]

The doubler function on this plug in also makes your guitar sound double tracked, too bad he didn't test it. Must be the way his guitar is connecting that there was no option, but with ASIO at least I have it

[@wkzh]

I think they set wrong output as mono channel, that's why the doubler and stereo input is not working

[@anambivalentenemy]

Since i am not a guitarist,i can't really understand how this plugin is to be used. Does it help you record anything,or is it just for practice purposes? And,will Petrucci use it himself on stage or during recordings,or is it just for players who want to have JP's sounds at hand? Thanks!

[@p4fizzle]

You can record your playing, but using another piece of software (of your choice). JP would be very unlikely (or any artist) to use this type of software in place of hardware for a live show. The reasons for that are a long a lengthy chat about guitar tones and purists need for original hardware

[@anambivalentenemy]

@@p4fizzle Thanks!

[@J-Allen19]

JP has said he does a lot more recording at their studio at his workstation and at home, so my guess he will use it for recording and demos. But for live he'll stick with real gear.

[@walqc]

Its good for people like me who barely play anymore and i sold all my gear but my guitars. So with this i can just plug my guitar in my PC and play.. they are like 125-150$ so pretty affordable

[@kevin_lanthier]

It’s amp simulation software. It allows you (with an interface) to plug your guitar straight into your computer and easily get a huge assortment of really quite believable and useful guitar sounds. You can use it to record when run through a DAW. Big established artists would probably be less likely to actually use it for recording an album, although some might in some instances, and several do use higher-end amp sims (ie. axe fx) for their main guitar recordings. A lot of amateur or less-established artists will definitely use this to make all manner of amazing things I’m sure.

[@shellderp]

My favorite part is John's wife (Rena Sands) made a preset called Blues Balls

[@TheRedAnvil40]

Y’all…I downloaded the trial of this and Nik isn’t lying. It really is the most complete VST I’ve ever used. Absolutely insane. The only negative I can find is it really does take quite a bit of CPU power to run. But man…

Hey Nik you get paid a referral if I buy it from your link? I'd watched a couple of reviews already but I'm sold now after Piezo + Acoustic.

[@jamietristan1050]

How do you get rid of the input delay? I tried playing around with the buffer size and there's always a millisecond delay on the input. Had no trouble with other products like guitar rig or amplitude, just neuralDSP plugins.

[@GreatOne0815]

8:13 Actually, you can just transpose down to the 8th string.

[@guitaristkuro8898]

That transpose makes me wish Bias FX had a better pitch shifter.

[@st3929]

It's so insanely sick.

[@bretttrommler756]

Okay, so pardon my ignorance. This is an app you install on your PC and then somehow run your guitar through it prior to the amp… and it creates all these effects on the PC?

[@Crowhmmmm]

You use a guitar interface and though you could run through your amp most would run through speakers

[@bretttrommler756]

@@Crowhmmmm well, I got that working using Neural DSP plugins in Reaper DAW. Something weird though. After about two minutes, I would start getting this puttering noise that would gradually get worse until that’s all you could hear. I restart the app, two minutes later I get the same thing. This is through my Sound blaster Xz which has worked flawless for years and works fine for everything else. So I change my audio output to go to my high end gaming headphones and change Neural DSP/Reaper to the same thing. Works fine, no problem. At that point I noticed some weird harmonic noise coming through the audio whenever I use any kind of high gain setup. Not sure what that’s about.
