Seems to be a very complete and versatile plugin, I wish they would go back and update a few of the older plugins with the transpose, metronome, doubler, etc
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!
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.
@@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.
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.
this plug in is dope af!! and that transpose option is like the confirmation is amazing.... i wont have to change guitar every time i need a new tuning
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
I just started using plugins and this was the first thing I tried and I will probably never use my boss katana artist ever again. But I loved that amp:(
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…
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 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.
"Let's see what it does" GLURUHRUHHRHB "Oh, that's the clean channel" lol, nice. I gotta say though, that transpose knob is actually really impressive. Very hard thing to do from a technical perspective.
@Dragon Ball fans can't read what are the references when you rate playing of Mr. Petrucci? I would like to hear who is good if he is not good enough for you.
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.
Same. I bought Bias two weeks ago and tried this Archetype today. Difference is night and day honestly. Bias has a lot of tones but most aren't as good. I thought it was 'good enough' all things considered but after trying Archetype I see this plug-ins and digital guitar stuff have come a long way. Try it yourself and ask for a refund if you still can. Bias Fx has a 30-day return policy.
Nik how good is the transpose feature? Is it easy to drop it to drop c, drop C sharp, drop b etc. Does the tone sound just as good as if you were to just downtune your guitars? Thinking about pulling trigger on this one… Love your content and thanks as always
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!
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
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.
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
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.
Mr. Pettrucci is our lord and savior. Mr. Petrucci can play at 1 Million BPM, it would destroy the Earth. We pray and thank Lord Petrucci for letting us live another day. It is also said that Mr. Petrucci can use his Time Signatures to bend space and time. He is a powerful Guitar God.
Hi NIK, to hear well without headphone (I have DT770 PRO) which monitors do you use ? I m looking for something that could be ok to study guitar with amplitube and neural dsp
Wesh ma gueule ! Cool la vidéo ! T’es fatigué ou les cernes c’est la weed ? 😅 Une vidéo en mode enregistrement ça aurait été cool ! Là on dirait un essai d’amplificateur ! Bon après faut la compo qui va avec man ❤
*I had to learn how to play more than just breakdowns for this video*
I don't know if I should respond with "congrats" or "I'm so sorry"
Awesome video bro
That’s a sick as transpose
Transpose the acoustic with the piezo drop -100 💀 🖤 👼 🎸
i always watch your videos, You are Great 🎵
That clean acoustic made your electric sound like better than my actual acoustic
Piezo pickups are OP man
Literally same though
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.
the "eye" triggers some kind of "big brother is watching you" feelings in me
@@oernsen8131 I wonder if "big brother" watching counts toward video views...
Its actually Petrucci himself judging our shitty playing through webcam. Every time you make a mistake eye of the Sauron wants to know your location.
@@klanker the eyeball rolls whenever a note is off-key
@@klanker when Petrucci goes into World Domination Mode his eye will watch you as you suffer your way to d3ath
An experiment with a baritone/8 string tuned to Drop E1 then “transposed” by -12 is necessary… for scientific purposes
Music for whales.
@Bean's Butter Review Wagon how did it go????
@Bean's Butter Review Wagon thats very good to hear
@Bean's Butter Review Wagon well fucking post it Bean's??
@Bean's Butter Review Wagon we need the thalllll beans.... beans!!!!
Nice demo man, you should upload a video playing something with the majesty 8 with this plugin
I think nik only had it for a few weeks as a demo
If you don’t make a full Octavarium cover with this I will come to your house and eat your guitars
Images and Words as well!
eat the amps as well
how did they taste
You eat pieces of guitars for breakfast?
Seems to be a very complete and versatile plugin, I wish they would go back and update a few of the older plugins with the transpose, metronome, doubler, etc
well they are now!
The "liquid lead" is a replicate of the lead tone petrucci used in the band Liquid tention experiment ;)
The integrated pitch shift is actually really cool
I wish it was on all NDSP products... Very useful and actually sounds really great.
He didn't even play the "factual creation of anything acoustic" being wonderwall during the acoustic amp + piezo part.
As a DT fan for 25 years or so and a guitar player, this makes me very happy! 🤘🏻
That acoustic sound is awesome
It also has room fx/shaping on the speakers section which i think is only in the Petrucci
Yes! Awesome feature
3:52 Bro the acoustic simulation on this plugin is legit beautiful
But its piezo pickup
@@zoksss5323 No its not. This preset sounds like that on regular pickups.
it doesn't don't lie lol @@tromba831
He's using piezo there@@tromba831
"What phase did Tim go through...?"
I'm fucking crying 😂
I actually used the doubler for some recordings and it actually mixed pretty well I just kept making it progressively wider lol

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

@@jani14jani the gojira one is soo good. you can actually get a great nirvana tone with it, the first amp is a twin reverb
You forgot the test the doubler. That's a pretty significant new feature on a Neural plugin
this plug in is dope af!! and that transpose option is like the confirmation is amazing.... i wont have to change guitar every time i need a new tuning
You know there are tunings besides drop D and drop D but lower, right?
Sick sounding plugin!!! Excellent playing as always!!!!
Your pickups are so hot lol, that first "clean" sounded like a distortion!
he had an OD enaged
I love how Nik always says he can't play guitar quite well but then he does such a demo video and he proves himself wrong
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
I think they set wrong output as mono channel, that's why the doubler and stereo input is not working
@MAIN sorry you haven't had a positive result with it
The closed captions for the intro are:
John petrucci is a Prague metal Jesus
And I love it
*prog
if you're thinking about getting JUST one of these get this one.. there's literally no other choice
I just started using plugins and this was the first thing I tried and I will probably never use my boss katana artist ever again. But I loved that amp:(
I have absolutely no idea what your talking about. And I love it!
Every time you played the acoustic setting I could hear Greg Lake singing "From the Beginning." Freaky.
Slipknoot poster made the tone 10x better
when you cut those mids, my audio just DIED. Like it just disappeared. Probably what I get for listening through Yamaha HS5's XD
DUUUUDE I don't even have a programm to record my riffs, I'm not even so into writing, but HOOOOLY CRAP I feel like I need this
Plays minor chords "This is full of happiness!"
omg nik i'd love to see a fade away playthrough with this plugin
This is the most versatile Neural DSP plugin out there imho
My favorite part is John's wife (Rena Sands) made a preset called Blues Balls
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…
weird, I'm pretty sure that the default preset is the last one with some fx to do leads right away
Why is the vid 240p? Lol
nice chops dude! I do love the sound of the plugin. not nearly as agile on guitar as you. Great playing.
Gotta love the random climax voice
PLEASE CAN SOMEHONE BREAK DOWN WHAT HE DID ON 4:35 AND TEACH MR
*that Zuckerberg photo is nightmare fuel*
Nik. You need to make another album. F yt. F copyright. Make a banger, plz. Merry Christmas 🤘🏽.
I got it and love it.
Great demo!!
Well… looks like I’m going to have to add another Neural product to my collection
That plugin is asking for a Count of Tuscany cover
That fucking transpose at -12. GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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?
You use a guitar interface and though you could run through your amp most would run through speakers

1:58 can someone please tell me if that is a riff from somewhere?
It all sounds so good
Aww you missed the room mic option to add some "in the room" feel to the cab section.
HOLY SHIT THAT PIEZO ON THE ACOUSTIC AMP WTF
at 3:51 what song was that?
Nik really vibin with this one
Straight out the box chunk
Sounds sick. also the DSP link takes you to the Gojira page, for me at least
But makes a reacts to John petrucci video after this , lol. Total banger of a dude
8:13 Actually, you can just transpose down to the 8th string.
Brooo, try playing inferno from the crow with that exact setting at 6:20 please
"Let's see what it does" GLURUHRUHHRHB "Oh, that's the clean channel" lol, nice.
I gotta say though, that transpose knob is actually really impressive. Very hard thing to do from a technical perspective.
This is the best neural DSP for space vibes
sounds so nice and CHUNKY
nik where can i get that slipknoot poster 😭
Should I buy this? Or the Fortin Nameless?
That transpose makes me wish Bias FX had a better pitch shifter.
Are you doing reaction vids to the new bullet album?
I knew you would see this
That thing looks like Hal 9000 from 2001 space odyssey
All hail prog metal Jesus. 🤘😈🤘

Yo man! Did you listen to that hybrid theory tanhayee?
Looks like AL from 2001 space odissey
Nik please make a tutorial showing how to play guitar through a computer like that.
There's plenty on UA-cam already bro. It's actually very easy, but you need gear, and gear costs :(
Just need an audio interface, like Scarlett focusrite for $100, or others for cheaper. And a computer.
Is the transpose function good enough for recordings?
The startup amp looks like Hal9k
Hi, does anyone know what audio interface he uses? Thank you
That acoustic sound reminds me of Diablo 2 Rogue Encampment theme for some reason...

Noticeable latency in my experience
Where's the setting to control the temperature of the sun and killzone mode?
I'm new to these digital things, how come your default is the black amp but my default is the white amp?
It's so insanely sick.
Ты монстр друже!
Nice review, bro)
Do you know some riffs like between 2.55 - 3.00
Midgar - Warrens
Hey Nik! Epic video as always. What is your general signal chain and rules of thumb around it when playing with plugins in your DAW?
