Bro, you weren’t a tester and you bought this and put out a video day of release? Nice.

[@ryanmckinnon6465]

You can demo for 2 weeks

[@buckeyeburl0162]

​@@ryanmckinnon6465 You misunderstood

[@rayzeus]

​@@ryanmckinnon6465 he said in the video that he bought the plugin. And the comment you replied to was just highlighting how fast Ray has been in making a demo as someone who wasn't a tester (didn't have access to the plugin ahead of time).

[@MashaT22]

I love the sound you got by picking behind the bridge! Such a cool idea. It totally works with this plugin!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

I think so too!

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

This is your best sounding video by far. Impressive tones, nice playing!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Wow, thanks!

[@seanwallace7517]

Awesome demo man. This one really surprised me since I thought that Mesa had a deal with Amplitude for official licensed stuff. I really like the idea of them making more plugins based on hard to find amps. The Mark II C+ has such a classic sound.

[@keechada]

Sounds really good. Im glad they managed to make “official” “licensed” plugin.

[@brutalslam8443]

That Les Paul Custom looks amazing. Love the the tones. I will eventually pick up this plugin.

[@gorf101]

Damn Ray!! The plugin is great but your guitar playing is getting so much better. Great job!!

[@12345cobra100]

Finally someone using the amp like it should be used!

[@ethanaubrey858]

I love everything about this. Excellent always brotha 🤘🤘🤘

[@berriedalive]

Hey dude, I just released a signature amp sim with Audio Assault. It took us almost 4 years to create, and I would love for you to try it out. Are you interested?

[@xanderraymondcharles]

I’d be honored boss. I have my email in the description 🤜🤛

[@dezjoens4072]

Hi. Awesome vid as always. Every time I watch your stuff i always wonder how you do your drums.

[@peevee605]

Dude, you’re so legit I can put a like on this video without skipping a beat on this beast pack.

[@lemmykilmister1239]

Sounds great. I was really hoping they'd do the same but with Orange.

[@Metaldad87]

Kinda my complaint with neural now is yeah they sound great and all but also I feel like a lot of the archetype plugins are sounding very similar except the extra features.

[@chaoschaoforever]

Well with the Archetypes, there is a lot of tonal overlap. 3 5150s (Plini's HBE+5150 Hybrid, Nolly's 5150 Block Letter, and Gojira's 5150III EL34), 2 JCM800s (Nolly and Henson), 4 Fender amps (Rabea and Gojira's Fender Twin, Plini's Fender + Dumble Hybrid, Wong's Clean Machine), and 2 Dumbles (Plini's Fender + Dumble Hybrid, Wong's Amp Snob). Leaving Archetypes Abasi and Petrucci as their own unique thing (as well as Archetype Rabea's Victory VX Kraken). The single amp suites are harder to replicate because they are their own unique thing.

[@bradleykrieger1377]

Sounds great! Definitely need to grab this one.

[@jamesosterberg2510]

The most beautiful Les Paul Custom Natural of the KZbin Game !! Every time I see it, I expect to find one like that !!

[@OrlandoAponte]

Awesome demo and sick riffs/tunes, as always.

[@Centipede_Solaire]

sounds sick. I own the Nolly, Abasi, and Henson plug ins and it's already getting a little too redundant for me. Im not sure if this one will add much extra, but that's what that free trial is for

[@chaoschaoforever]

Neural should chill out on the Archetypes for a good while. There is a good enough amount of them with a variety of tones that they can focus on single amps for a good while. Personally I think Neural should shift their focus to hard to find/aquire amps for now.

[@wanderergrim]

I like how it has the transpose effect/tool on there so you can down tune your standard scale 6 string to drop A (my favourite tuning) or whatever

[@flashbackshape]

This plugin is right up there with Fortin Cali for me. All I can say is it’s a good thing today is my day off.

[@JustBlueFish]

Sounds amazing, great job. Just curious what string gauge you're using for drop B on a Les Paul? Thanks.

[@colinc48]

any neural plugin without transpose feels like it's missing something now, I wish they'd put out a simple transposing plugin to run into the archetypes that don't have it. great video as always

[@tusharjamwal]

I dislike that part of their business model. I don't think you "need" anything else if you have the petrucci. So in my case having it looked that is working not in their favour. I would buy more stuff if it's was less redundant and worked with each other better rather than everything trying to be it's own self contained unit. Audio assaults' reamp studio and Stl tones amp hub and Tonehub do this quite well.

[@kuringmundo]

the demo also had a broken link. emailed them and got a response with download links for the plug in, in 5 mins. ndsp has the best CS. the plug in sounds awesome.

[@xavierc8383]

Thanks for the video! The plugin sounds good

[@stevilstyle3829]

Absolutely love the channel!!! This plug-in sounds amazing and I think it's your video out of all I seen that has convinced me to get it. But I gotta ask, you said "is it your favorite, no" , may I ask what is your favorite plug-in? Thanx brother, Stay Metal 🤘

[@Mike-vu7em]

The gojira plug-in is a monster, plus you can make a Pantera tone that sounds dead on with the Gojira.

[@IAmGeo7]

Great vid and nice riffs!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey, thanks!

[@TheRoguetrooper21]

That Gibson is sweet, love it.

[@elus1ve0ne64]

That beginning track is HARD AF !!

[@Nasty_Riffs]

i will be checking this one out!

[@liftingafterdark3241]

Who wins in a head to head, Neural DSP Mesa Mk!!C+ or Otto Audio II II???

[@thatrandomchannel]

What strings you usin on that LP? Sounds fucking sickk!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thanks! The “not even slinky’s” I don’t really like them but thats what’s on here for the time being

[@6695John13]

@@xanderraymondcharles I use "not even slinky" for D standard on the Gibson scale, so you definitely need thicker strings for drop B.

[@thatrandomchannel]

@@xanderraymondcharles DAMN those are heavy lol. i cant go that heavy, max i can do is probably 11s. I usually just use 9s, 9.5 or 10s

[@nickx1754]

Right on

[@TheMetalMag]

Impressed

[@anthonymontes44]

I’m guna cop this and play it with my Diezel VH4 plug from brainwork’s and bam Hetfield tone

[@matthewmp111]

Ray, you should check out the McRocklin Suite from Polychrome. I think it's great.

[@modernroyaljams]

Really cool riffs!!!!

[@BradRocker]

What are your white monitors in the back there?

[@mykneeshurt8393]

are those pinch harmonics? I have no idea how to do those things despite many attempts. Nice playing

[@nb842]

He’s picking behind the bridge where the strings are resting, but not all guitars are going to have that space behind the bridge so you can also try strumming the strings behind the nut towards the tuning pegs to get a similar harmonic overtone type of sound, a more gainy tone also helps make them more audible, hope that helps :)

[@masterofreality230]

@@nb842 just gotta brush the string with you thumb, some places on the neck are easier than others, pinch harmonics don't like to sit still, you have to hit it the bend.

[@ChristianErikJurickovic]

Around 5 minute it is sounding to me as Flood by Panteraaaa

[@B3n85_]

@5:03 someone help me here, this reminds me of old school InFlames but im not sure?

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

I've been really wanting to try this amp out for quite some time. I personally much prefer the sound of analog solid state guitar amp heads because of gear like the Exciter bringing the most mid-forward of solid state amplifiers into professional High Gain tube amp territory, while allowing me to achieve a non compressed, open, tight tone without the need for a boost. With that being said, the Mark series of amplifiers are my dream amps and i'd love to try this plugin out for myself. 😩

[@garethlewis4586]

I've got a weird scratchy sound occurring when I do half palm muted chugs. It sounds to me like some kind of unexpected digital artifact from the algorithm. Sounds great otherwise

[@edla2005]

I already have the Petrucci plugin. Wondering if this is any different or the same amp sim with a different skin?

[@masterofreality230]

It might be a bit different, would be cool to see a back to back comparison.

[@arbazann]

if you're satisfied with the petrucci plugin, I'd suggest skipping this one.

[@luigigetsu]

@@arbazann I'm a bit confused because... isnt John a Mesa user? I would expect the Petrucci plug in to be based on a Mesa? or what am i missing here?

[@masterofreality230]

@@luigigetsu John isn't just a Mesa user, they named a model after him, the JP2C as in John Petruci 2 C+ lol

[@arbazann]

@@luigigetsu i guess john's plugin is based on a mesa, and it's probably slightly altered to his sound, which is more of a cab thing. so the plugins should be somewhat similar with different impulse responses and stuff like that. I don't work at neural tho, so idk.

[@wce74wce15]

how do you 'transpose' to drop B from drop D?

[@spederm0n283]

i’m patiently waiting for a recto neural dsp 😔😔😔

[@thatrandomchannel]

i have a feeling this will be likely

[@crowdkillproductions.]

you should check out the Berried Alive amp sim.

[@detthoff]

Pls review the Tonex pedal 🙏👍

[@sheldonmacdonald3602]

Don’t understand the hate for this one man. Neural does top notch stuff and having these sick amps done offically is awesome.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Who’s hating it?

[@seanwallace7517]

@@xanderraymondcharles I think that some people are upset because Petrucci’s plugin is his Mark II C+ so people are saying it’s redundant.

[@digchevelle]

As far as I know, petrucci’s IIC+ Is the non-simulclass version. The difference between it and a DRG like Het’s is significant. I won’t be pretentious, as if I had a IIC+, but, from my experience with my III Blue Stripe, I wouldn’t buy a non-DRG.

[@masterofreality230]

Well, now that Neural is dialing in the amp in for people, more people will like Mark series amps lol

[@lordjake2350]

I wish they added peavy 5151 amp

[@RetroDoneRight]

There's already multiple 5150 sims in the Neural suites

[@lordjake2350]

@@RetroDoneRight ???? witch are?

[@RetroDoneRight]

@@lordjake2350 Gojira and Nolly have 5150s. Probably more.
