Great presentation on this comparison. Lots of detail here and to the point. A/B comparisons are really well done. I have the Tone King and Plini X but in the end I'm probably gonna grab this one too. For the price it's an insane amount of options of variation. Sometimes I like to multitrack layered guitars using a very paltry guitar collection, and having the amp variation would certainly help with the layering. Subbed and liked. You had me on your first Tone King video!
Thank you Adam! I also often like using varied sounds (different amps and/or guitars) when multitracking guitars. Makes things bigger and wider. These are both definitely worth picking up and Neural DSP typically do and Anniversary sale soon with 50% off! Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment 👍
Cool video showcasing the comparisons. I have them both but can hear the differences in your video better than when I'm playing. :) I've been digging the Tone King for a while now. The Morgan is great too and this video shows how Neural has effectively created a diverse set here and we really "need" both!
Thanks for the comparison! I have been using Tone King for a year for many of my recordings, and to me it sounds pretty good! I am glad that now we have more choices when coming to vintage and clean guitar sounds. :)
It depends on which amp you prefer. They're both very true to the actual amps. Edge of breakup for sure morgan. Cleans with a great reverb. The tone king is really bass heavy though before EQing
Thanks for this! It is indeed hard to pick a favorite. I liked the Tone King for the cleans, the compressed, and the reverb (not to mention that lovely chorus), and the Morgan sounded better for the overdrive and the delay. Both sounded killer!
Like you said, both are great! Neural DSP should be running their anniversary sale soon, so may be worth just getting both! 😅 Thanks for watching and appreciate you sharing your opinion 👍
Great comparison! I had a hard time deciding so I opted for both! I have a real life Tone King so that seemed like a no brainer but the Morgan Suite is really awesome too.
They are both really good! That’s awesome that you have a real Tone King! That’s on my “dream amp” list. How do you feel the amp sim compares to the real one?
@@DadRockAndGuitars I downloaded the free trial first. Initially, I was a bit disappointed because the real TK had much more headroom than the Neural TK. Then I started playing around with the input to get it to react more like a real Tone King amp. They compare fairly well, though I have to say that my TK experience is with the Meteor and Metropolitan models and both might be a bit more mid-focused than the Imperial that Neural is modeling. But still, very convincing recorded tones!
@@mikekratochwill4195 Very cool! I've heard people say that the real one has more headroom. But like you said you did, I just turn down the input and get plenty of headroom. I find that I pull the input down a bit on most amp sims. Thanks for watching and the additional insights. 👍
I'm planning to buy the Morgan because it seems to have the most advanced and impressive cleans and is also capable of some old school heaviness (maybe new school too?)
There are a lot of great tones in the Morgan! Kind of nice to have great cleans from 3 different amps. One of my favorite tones though is cranking up the the gain on the SW50R. It can get some nice rock tones and even get pretty "sludgy". Lots of fun! Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment 👍
tried the Morgan Amp Suite....liked it more than ToneKing but when I played thru Plini X - I just knew I don't need Morgans - The Cleans and Breakups on Plini are just fantastic 🔥
@@DadRockAndGuitars right now Metal 😂 but when I play Cleans on my Strats, I just noodle around and enjoy the High-Resolution of every frequency - you GOT to try Plini X RN!
Yeah, unfortunately the Morgan Amps Suite doesn't have chorus. Not sure why. Seems like it'd fit with the goal of the amp sim. If you play it as a plugin inside recording software like Pro Tools, Studio One, Luna, etc. then you could add chorus after it. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment 👍
Yeah, seems like a chorus would have been a natural and easy add to the Morgan Amps Suite. A lot of their other plugins have one. It's still a great sounding plugin though. Thanks for watching 👍
The Lead channel on the Tone King is supposed to fall into that Tweed area, but yeah, a dedicated Tweed plugin would be amazing! I’m a big fan of Tweed tones 👍
I was hoping for this video and you did it. Thank you! I think both sims sound great!
I'm glad you like it! They are definitely both very good. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment 👍

Waiting for Tone King X
(I still need to try the Morgan Suite)
Yeah, definitely looking forward to updates! Definitely give the Morgan a try with the free trial. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment 👍
technically Archetype Cory Wong was the first classic vintage thing that NDSP released. but morgan and tone king are my favourites as well

They definitely did a really good job of giving us more tone options. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment 👍

I agree, it's nice to see Neural DSP expanding the classic and vintage options. Do you use any other amp sims besides the Tone King?
It depends on which amp you prefer. They're both very true to the actual amps. Edge of breakup for sure morgan. Cleans with a great reverb. The tone king is really bass heavy though before EQing
Agreed - Both really good, but different. The bass on the Tone King can definitely build up a bit. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment!

MORGAN = my new go-to amp sim for everything, including all 2024 UA-cam videos! Fantastic! Thanks !!!
The Morgan is really good. Thanks for watching 👍

hard to decision so buy them all
That is certainly a reasonable option! Ha ha! Do you have any favorites that you use?

Wow! I haven't the Plini X yet. May have to check it out the cleans and breakups. What style do you typically play?
@@DadRockAndGuitars right now Metal 😂 but when I play Cleans on my Strats, I just noodle around and enjoy the High-Resolution of every frequency - you GOT to try Plini X RN!
Strat cleans are great - especially that neck pickup. Will definitely give Plini X a try. Thanks@@jann_rygh 👍
Both great plugins. Nice review, great work!!
Can't go wrong with either or both! Thanks for watching 👍
I subscribe to your channel cause the name, What an inspired name! Without finishing the video. Hope your channel more success, cheers!
Thank you very much! Appreciate the sub and comment. 👍
For me Tone King is still the king! I love it.
The Tone King is really good! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍
If morgan amp suite has chorus in it then im sold but...
Yeah, unfortunately the Morgan Amps Suite doesn't have chorus. Not sure why. Seems like it'd fit with the goal of the amp sim.
If you play it as a plugin inside recording software like Pro Tools, Studio One, Luna, etc. then you could add chorus after it.

Love that sparkle to the Morgan tone
The Morgan is really good! Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment!
My pleasure, good sir, keep 'em coming
No chorus ? That made it easy
Yeah, seems like a chorus would have been a natural and easy add to the Morgan Amps Suite. A lot of their other plugins have one. It's still a great sounding plugin though. Thanks for watching 👍
yup. you get can get same sound out of each
Yeah, they aren't night and day difference from each other. Did you prefer the features of one over the other?
just need a Tweed plugin now.
The Lead channel on the Tone King is supposed to fall into that Tweed area, but yeah, a dedicated Tweed plugin would be amazing! I’m a big fan of Tweed tones 👍
The clean amp in the Archetype Rabea plugin is a Tweed!
Still the King!!!
The Tone King is great! Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment! 👍
