plini of good tones in this vid

[@Adrian.katzenstein]

I see what you did there

[@NeuralDSP]

Thank you for the excellent review!

[@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin]

Neural DSP will you make some 80’s hard rock/metal plugin colorful with chorus/phaser effects? Would love it!

[@drd1614]

I've been using the demo for a couple weeks and I will be buying a copy. This plugin is fantastic!

[@JayTheLane]

NO TALK Guitar Amp Plug-ins Reviews Yep modulation would be awesome.

[@ruben11450]

@@NO-TALK-GuitarPlugin we need that

[@AkiraSpectrum]

best sounding video of this plugin on youtube.

[@MeTuLHeD]

I really think the clean amp on this plug in is second to none. These guys and the crew over at Mercuriall are out on the cutting edge of amp modeling. Setting the pace for others to follow. Thanks for your great demos Leon. A real world player in real world applications.

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

A nice change to most of the guitar plugins coming out lately, this is much more warm and thick and more vintage sounding. Sick video!

[@PJmars100]

Loads of reviews on this plugin but this is one of the best I’ve seen by someone who knows what he’s on about and who cares and inspires. Thanks man 👍😁

[@SlinkyT82]

Downloaded the trial myself a few days ago. Absolutely killer package!

[@DrWasabiii]

Dude, I freaking love your playing! And those tones are out of this world! I NEED THIS NOW!

[@LeonTodd]

Much appreciated!

[@antioche6276]

That plugin is the first plugin I actually want and wouldn't mind. I'm not into doing anything digitally because it's usually a tweeking fest, but this one is simple enough and sounds absolutely breath taking as it is. Might have sold one of them Leon

[@LeonTodd]

You hardly have to tweak to get it in the zone which is nice too

[@AleArzMusic]

it really surprised me, I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as heavy as the NTS/Nameless suites.

[@kevincourcey813]

Man, I love watching your brain work as you interact with the knobs and foot switches to create a sound. I'm saving this video for when (if) I get the Archetype.

[@jamesanthony7994]

Hey Leon - so I managed to get this uploaded on my computer today! I think it might be better than Bias Fx 2 and Amplitude 4. This video really helped me out! Thanks Leon!

[@LucaMilierimusic]

Oh I like the Prog version of Leon Todd!!!

[@jackmeginniss6327]

Another great demo. Yeah, that plugin is going to be a keeper.

[@MrKiammi]

Damn i really hope you will stay active In this neural dsp community, i really appreciate what you have done for atomic amplifire and helix

[@LeonTodd]

Loving what NDSP are doing!

[@arvedbohn6133]

Fun fact: This plugin's awesome to use with an irish bouzouki! It might sound strange at first, but using the piezo signal with the plugin (clean amp with delay and reverb) really gives it a whole new level - ambient folk tunes, here I come! :D I'm also going to experiment with something more gainy, maybe a crunchy amp for some drone music, we'll see... gonna upload a little demo on Instagram, maybe even here on KZbin. PS: Just subscribed and followed you on IG, awesome video Leon! Keep up the good work! :D

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Pretty cool Brother! I knew it wouldn't take long for you to find the Thickness! Well done and thanks for sharing Leon!

[@hodshonf]

have NTS, Namless, and DG. just downloaded the Plini demo - YES! inspiring!

[@LeonTodd]

They're killing it

[@Lushoverthebridge]

Lead amp + comp + overdrive + delay and reverb = heaven!

[@LeonTodd]

It's so lush

[@giancarlopaolini7529]

Excellent stuff indeed ...I tried also some pedals of mine in front of the clean amp plus delay and reverb and ...yes ...I can fly ... these guys seem to be in a position to make superb plugins. Worth buying ? ..yessss !

[@leandroeger5526]

Best plugin tones clip I ever heard ! I will buy it

[@jackmeginniss6327]

I haven’t used them much yet, but I have the three most recent offerings from that company. They all sound great to me. Thanks for posting.

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I dig all the plugins but the more I hear this plugin it grows on me. I'm buying my first 7 string in a couple months and want to get another plugin that will compliment it. I already use the Soldano SLO-100 plugin with my baritone and standard tuned electric.

[@nick-evans]

This really is one of the best demos of this product. Great job, gonna try this out soon. 🤘🏼

[@LeonTodd]

Too kind!

[@FernandoSegundo]

man this is what i needed , a killer plugin with delay and reverb ( that's why i did not get the nameless plugin ) ... looks like i can sykes the hell out of this. thanks for the vids man! i love your channel .

[@LeonTodd]

Sykes it hard!

[@FernandoSegundo]

​@@LeonTodd well , i tried , i just uploaded a video trying out a bunch of amp sims while covering some of my favorites Sykes solos , i dont like to be that guy to " check out my channel bro" but since you are a huge Sykes fan just like me... im not so proficient with dialing tones as you are but your videos are helping me out a bunch with that! i just wanted to say thanks again for the content you make, it inspired me to upload some stuff too.

[@StreetsOfVancouverChannel]

dammmmmn, son... truly fab playing/inspiration from that exemplary plug-in...

[@garaughty]

Gawd this thing is soooooooooo versatile and sounds incredible !!!

[@ibinTZY]

Ahhhhh this is so good.... talking about your playing and your tone....so awesome and inspiring... always makes me wanna pick up my guitar. Thank you.

[@LeonTodd]

Flattered!

[@adam872]

Plini is such a great player and this thing sounds pretty grouse to be honest. One of the better amp sims I've heard. And BTW, you should play prog.

[@r.llynch4124]

We need a deep dive quad floor demo soon Leon

[@pauldavis3904]

Jsut finished the demo of it. Thought it was awesome. Even the clean amp for chilli peppers etc

[@PlagueScytheStudios]

So much delicious echo... The Edge better keep his guard up.

[@kylegrossi8175]

I got this sim the day it came out, incredible. glad to see your review on this and loved the "i'm a rock pig" statement lol

[@robfrasier9412]

Smokin Plugin! ... and player

[@YoungLyon_Music]

Great Video and Great sounding plugin! But...is anyone having a CPU overload issue with this plugin in Logic Pro X? I have a Macbook Pro with 16g RAM but still seems to overload with Buffer sizes on the stand alone and Session increased/decreased, Freezed Tracks etc.

[@Nig6tWalker]

wow the plugin sound pretty good

[@jonathonvargas3476]

Sounds awesome

[@mattfeedback]

Sweet sounds & playing - rock pig - love it ❤️

[@89ji76]

We've come a long way since Pod Farm

[@LeonTodd]

For this I am eternally grateful

[@ZedChuva]

I'm still using POD Farm. :) Two reasons. 1, I"m broke, and 2, I have no money. Tried the Helix Native trial and... man, I wish I had money. :( Mind you, I'm LOVING the Emissary VST, so i can't complain about free.

[@89ji76]

@@ZedChuva Most software is free if you believe in yourself. You have nothing to lose but your chains. but with that said, the Emissary is amazing. That and their other free plugins...just wow. That's all you'd ever need for high gain.

[@LeonTodd]

@@ZedChuva I need to get around to trying Emissary

[@mayhemmm]

gr8 review and demo men \m/

[@spetersonmusic]

That is damn impressive.

[@LeonTodd]

No weak links. Very impressed

[@DaveZnoise]

Nice job!

[@xoEvermore]

well this video definitely has made me want to empty my bank account for the plugin lmao

[@gioelevio1626]

Very good demo! I usually go for "Lukather style" tones, I'm trying to decide between the Mercuriall Spark and the Plini plugin. Which one do you think would work better in that application? I just found out about the Nembrini BST100 wich seems cool, what do you think?

[@gordontubbs]

LEON PROGG.

[@Wojtasguitar1]

This plugin is such a great writing tool ! I also did demo of it in whole mix if someone is interested :)

[@LeonTodd]

Epic work dude

[@ruben11450]

"Its like a lead players wet dream" that sounds about right

[@brunomo123]

how does it compare to the axe lll.....feel and overall

[@LeonTodd]

It's as good as any plugin out there, but the feel thing is going to depend heavily on your interface. Feels great with the UAD.

[@davidfournier3355]

Thanks Leon! I too am a Spotify supporter of Ragdoll;>) But all kidding aside, how many tones (THU?Bias) does one need? Those are some pretty damn sweet tones..clean and a little dirty. \m/

[@LeonTodd]

Sometimes it's best to get a sweet clean, crunch and lea, close your eyes and just wail.

[@wakjob961]

Prog tone is so easy... Wicked gained-up tubescreamer, with the treble turned off.

[@dadude7]

I plays amps. Haven't a clue about this stuff. How do I get this on my Mac. I have studio monitors but that's it.

[@LeonTodd]

You'll need an audio interface and to download the free trial

[@dadude7]

@@LeonTodd Okay thanks for the reply. Will give it a go!

[@luisrodrigues4415]

can anyone tell what is neural plugins? its a software or what? im new in guitar

[@scrapolio7885]

How is this connected to the guitar, im new to this stuff

[@LeonTodd]

I'm using an audio interface. Guitar into the interface, interface to computer.

[@SurferClint]

Leon! Could you recommend an audio interface to play with this? Thank you

[@LeonTodd]

What's your budget? Focusrite Scarlett series are great if you're looking for something cheaper, UAD Apollo if you can stretch. I'm using the UAD Apollo Twin.

[@SurferClint]

@@LeonTodd sounds good! I am looking at something on the cheaper side. Im looking between the audient id4 and the focusrite 2i2

[@woocifer]

Going to give this plugin a go, after I've stopped being a pissy child about their lack of info on how to register their plugin :|

[@kcbrutality5271]

what speakers or where is that sound coming from is it head phone or studio mains ??????????????

[@LeonTodd]

I'm using studio monitors but what you're hearing is the direct sound from the plugin

[@kcbrutality5271]

@@LeonTodd Sir thank you i have a problem and i will see if u know answer. 2 questions. What recording software r using, i am using studio one 2 have u had a problem where u plug your guitar up and u hear wet and dry signal at same time..driving me crazy ...i have plini but in my headphones and monitors cant get rid of that dry guitar...it is not present in recording ..sorry to bother u..thx for any help

[@pajzd]

just route your original signal to a digital out et voilà , you just got the DSP signal of the plini

[@pajzd]

for example spdif or any out

[@kcbrutality5271]

thx bro I got it all figured out, I just did not have the mix knob all the way to the right....all is bliss and I now have the sound of the gods....listen to this...soundcloud.com/tom-eubank-491644461/return-of-the-warrior

[@luisrodrigues4415]

can i use this on cubase?

[@LeonTodd]

yes

[@kimseniorb]

what interface are you using?

[@DirtyDemos]

Probably UA Apollo Twin.

[@ryanleeashbaugh9390]

These are great tones, but the video is useless for objectivity. Anything Leon gets his hands on produces sweet tones.

[@jamesanthony7994]

You are so right Ryan!

[@maxepta5666]

Maybe its a PRS Archon?

[@LeonTodd]

Gotta be with a name like Archetype

[@NeuralDSP]

@@LeonTodd Nope! The name Archetype comes from distilling the artist's sonic characteristics into a single plugin. The amps are a combination of several of Plini's favorite models!

[@LeonTodd]

@@NeuralDSP that's pretty cool. Great job with the plugin, best one yet IMO

[@MeMyselfandGuitars]
