NEW GOJIRA PLUGIN

Trying out the new Gojira plugin from Neural dsp. Also using the Joe Duplantier signature Charvel guitar for this demo.

just bought the archetype nolly and fiddled for hours for a gojira preset, and now they bring this... oh well. can't have enough plugins.

[@Hellion421]

But also, Nolly's is a fantastic plugin as well. Has ended up in a lot of my productions

[@DominicAirola]

On the bright side you could have played the preset and thought “this is sick, they should make a whole plugin off Gojira”

[@TomyyY90]

@@DominicAirola I wouldve never thought that Joe actually endorses a digital plugin, as they're always seen with the EVH amps and his video with his new signature 3 years ago was with EVH too. But I am really glad they did! Just tested the plugin and I really love the clean version too and most of the presets sound really good as factory presets.

[@MrDrTheJniac]

You can have enough plugins; you cannot have too many.

[@karty9698]

@@vincentdelmas2792 yeah the white one has duncan designed pickups and this one has dimarzios

[@agoniavr]

Couldn't agree more! Been listening to metal for ages but that's why I love Gojira, you can hear one riff and instantly feel it's them. Also managed to saw them live literally 300m from my house in 2019 and they sounded exactly like on the records but, obviously, with a ton more punch! One of the best gigs I've seen, can't wait to see them again :)

This is definitely one of the most “real” sounding plugins in my opinion. Usually not a big fan, but this one’s got a lot of fine sonic detail.

[@stevemuzak8526]

It's sound real because Joe Duplantier was working with them. You won't get anything closer to that Gojira sound.

[@LouNoriegaJr]

That shimmer going on with the Reverb pedal is a fucking game changer.

[@mattprovost9878]

The shimmer on my Boss RV-6 sounds identical. If you're looking for that shimmer sound I recommend the RV-6. I find myself fucking around and getting lost with it sometimes still 😂😂

What I love about Ola is that there is no bs in the videos.. straight to the dirty tones!!! 🤘🎸

[@OrinSorinson]

There's a lot of metal that I feel is a bit embarrassing even if you don't take yourself too seriously but Gojira has always felt like some sort of "grown-up" metal. One of my favorites and one of the most recognisable bands out there.

[@peeledapples4176]

Totally agree. A lot of metal can come off kind of cheesy and juvenile but Gojira consistently put out thoughtful, meaningful music.

[@markbrown7968]

Who is gonna make you happy, if you don't? Is it more "grown up" to just be yourself, or to worry about if you've grown into someone others are happy with? My stepdaughters father once told me he used to like heavy metal but, he decided it was "time to grow up". Now he listens to country music. Only in the background, because he doesn't really enjoy it. I told him that I've loved the heavier music since I was a kid. I know who I am and I don't care if people don't approve of my choices in music. I also told him relationships built on what you think others want you to be, aren't lasting relationships. Be yourself. If others choose to judge who you are, based on what music you like, f@ck em. Explain, (if you must) that you don't fake who you are. You're "grown up" enough to be real. All that said, I do still understand where you are coming from. Just hope this puts a little wind in your sails.

[@sahamal_savu]

@@markbrown7968 This is exactly what happened to my brother in law. Loved metal when he was younger, I'm talking extreme death/grindcore...then he decided to "grow up" and get married, have kids, now he listens to country because that's what his wife likes lol. I mean, we all mature and change and that's cool. But he fully admits to me that he pretends to enjoy it to "keep the peace" with his wife and their friends. Pretending to be someone you're not is really immature IMO. He still has some of his old CD's in his work truck and secretly cranks it when he's driving by himself haha 🤘 Now that I'm an old bastard I listen to a lot of different styles of music (country is not one of them, unless you count Johnny Cash) but I feel like abandoning something that was such a massive part of my life growing up is a mistake. If you "grow out of it" hey, no problem. But make sure it's a decision you're making for yourself and not because someone wants you to live up to their expectations.

[@OrinSorinson]

@@sahamal_savu Both stories about conforming due to some form of peer pressure and cultural expectations are sad. To people trying to be part of a group or make friends... don't do that - enjoy what makes you happy and stay true to yourselves. The "grown-up" I was referring to was more along the lines of "not unintentionally campy" ( not a native english speaker, may be my bad ). Thanks for the stories and stay safe out there.

[@zacharyryan7739]

Do you happen to know what song Ola is playing @ the beginning of the video?

[@greham]

Don't forget they started by using Valvestate Marshalls before doing some Dual Recto then Peaveys. Ho boy this band has come such a long way from the local parties in the Basque Country.

Downloaded the trial & although the overall amp tones are covered in other plugins I have there’s something really special going on with the FX in this one. Try the “deep waters” preset & tell me that rusty breakup with deep/high octave doesn’t inspire something awesome. The reverb & delay on this one is also excellent, with the shimmer being subtle & controlled via the high/low pass filters. Wish the Phaser had a mix/volume... Going to run some fuzz pedals into this plugin it might be my new fav doom/sludge plugin if I can get some warmer fuzz tones going. Instant purchase for sure just for the FX & tones.
