Tested it this morning and must say it definitely has the sound I was looking for. I play mostly prog metal, so being able to play extended chords without the chord clarity being drowned out by excessive gain is a plus. I like plini's version, but this one nailed it. Only if had built in time based effects.
I always try to mic my amp, but this sounded really good so I downloaded the free trial on a whim... and played for 3 hours straight on the default amp, didn't even need to touch any knobs... was pretty blown away and finished writing a song I've had on the back burner for a few months. Definitely going to buy this one, first paid amp sim I want. Sure beats spending 400 bucks on a MD412 plus mic stand and cable for a second mic on my cab and still getting mediocre results for mysterious reasons. Sadly this plugin sounds way better than what I've been able to achieve mic'ing my amp. I might have to try the abasi or plini for a clean amp.
From the VERY first second the video started playing for the demo of this new amp plug-in...2 words..... ....BLOWN AWAY..... damn good sounding amp plug-in from Fortin! \m/
Just bought the Nameless Suite, Plini and Fortin Cali, they had a 20% 2 products or more, spent 300 bucks. Worth it to me. Looking forward to really exploring them. Thanks for your vids.
This is the first Neural plugin I've bought I had a coupon I was saving so it was really cheap. I'm really digging it just wish it had a delay/reverb pedal.
Yeah, you'll have to load it into a daw with your own mod plugins, not as user friendly to do it that way but at least it won't sound the same as everyone else using the same set up.
It would be really cool if they muted the signal when the tuner is turned on, or offer the option to the user. I own four Neural packages, and they are truly amazing. That one thing really bugs me. Who wants to listen to a death metal guitar tone while the guitar is being tuned? Call me wrong :-)
I just purchased this plug in. Honestly have to say right from the start it is very easy to use. Very brutal to glassy clean and everything in between. I’m very impressed to say the very least. Worth every penny spent. 🤘🏻
This is the first Neural DSP plugin I've actually been really impressed with. That said, the $120 price point is way too high for one head, one cab, and three pedals - one of which is completely redundant thanks to the Neural DSP interface already coming equipped with a noise gate.
@@davidsimard bruh, I know. I got the Fortin NTS when it was on sale 50% off, cost me 50 bucks for a 3 thousand dollar amp. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. And now I have a bone-crushing tone.
Hi Ola, Thanks for your work a like so much your videos. Amazing Review. I have a question I'm think to start with Neural DSP buy 2 plugin, Fortin NTS Suite is my first option but the other could be Nolly, Plini or Cali. What do you think?
I've sworn by Howard Benson's STL Tonality plugin for the longest time now as there is such a great amount of tonal variety and I never any latency issues like I had with BIAS FX, but Neural DSP definitely has my attention. Gonna have to trial some of these plugins :D
Oh dude, honestly they're the best I've tried, I've tried most besides the newest STL one, the tonality I believe? But from what I remember you can't adjust the IR's which is an instant no for me.
Hey Ola, I'm really stupid and it takes me longer to find the part again where you talk about your signal chain than it did for me to type this message. Would you consider starting to put your signal chains in the descriptions of your demo videos? I imagine your interface is rarely ever going to change, but if you're ever using different guitars/mics/DI boxes/whatever maybe an interesting/beneficial addition. Thanks for the demo my dude I appreciate all you do to help me make educated decisions!
This one is really sick. I can't get over how different all Neural DSP amps are. Got Nolly, NTS and Granophyre, tested all of them ... this one feels completely different from the previous ones. Cleans are really nice, you can get a decent crunch and make it really aggressive on both hi gain channels in a few different ways. It can be fat, it can be djenty, it can be thrashy, it seems like it's the most diverse one yet in terms of tonality and also I can't help to feel the sound quality is somehow even higher ... like ... it sounds more natural than the previous ones.
Ola - by chance do you notice that the ZUUL doesn’t actually work unless you have the gate turned way up? Which begs the question; what’s the point? I’ve seen this in the Nameless and Cali. Tested by letting the ZUUL kick in and see if it gated the noise or not...fir me, not. Just curious, thanks!
LOVE YOUR SOUND! How are you having a mono input sound so WIDE?? Can't see your mixer. Are you using 2 instances of the Fortin plugin and delaying one track slightly? Please! What's your secret? Rock on!
mpexus I downloaded the trial this morning. This is my only criticism, but it’s a big one. One of the other plugin suites has some effects (I think the nolly one did). Despite how good this thing sounds, I’m inclined to purchase the other one, or a different product, just to have these things accessible and self contained.
This is why the various Archetypes are better values for the money than the standalone amp suites if you're just firing up the standalone app to jam out. There are solutions for running plugin chains outside of DAWs, but I don't know of any that are free.
One can hook up their pedal board through the interface right? Would be nice if there was an option to add pedals from other plugins, for maybe $20 up charge or something
This sounds way better than Bias Fx 2. I personally just don’t like the way BFX2 sounds. It kinda sounds pretty unreal. So I’m definitely gonna get this now. Sounds much better. Cool video!
Is anyone else annoyed that these Fortin plugins don't come with any time-based stuff? I just want a Fortin plugin that also has a good delay, reverb, and maybe a chorus. That way I can actually use it as a standalone. Plus, I know Neural is capable of making a good delay and reverb. Just add it in.
@@CODESTER978 Yeah I know but I want the nts with some delay and reverb in it's own standalone. I don't want to have to run nts and plini on top of each other in a DAW just to get a good delay and reverb.
its more money for them if they leave em out. people then have to buy the pedals separately, ultimately gaining a better profit....just a thought i dunno....
Hey, Ola! Would you prefer this over some of the other plugins they have released? Like would you take this over the Omega, NTS, Nameless, etc.? Thanks as always! 🤘🤘
Silly question. What are you plugged into? I've always had physical amplifiers and being out of the game for a couple years I'm seeing more plugins and love to give it a shot.
Damnit, been sitting for days trying to decide which of the Neural plugins to get (either Nolly or Nameless, or both) and then this drops down.. Great work Ola btw!
You should try Audio Assault stuff! RVXX and Sigma are amazing and are my desk top amps hands down plus a great plugin. The best thing is they are not that pricey. Be sure to get on mailing list they give good discounts and stuff. God!, I want that guitar!!!! Z.K. P.S. New single is great.
Have a great friday everyone!
500k subs, Ola!!! KEEP IT UP, DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! Proud of you!
u too!
No, you!
You too, and rest of your weekend. 🤘
It would be interesting to see you compare the natas, nameless and Cali side by side in a video! Waiting eagerly
Thanks to Mike Fortin for licensing his intellectual property so us non-rich plebs can use his amps :D
Fortin Cali PLugin videos:
Ola - 5K views
Neural DSP - 2K
Marketing done right :)
I guess it is because Ola's video is the one they show in their website :D
Ola's video is more interesting haha.
10K more views in just four hours! The power of social networking.
E-girl Flakes always!
I think its the fart soundboard
4:43 ...I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.
Haha
loll
I once went to mars but i dont recall
Not bad 😅
LOL " Push out that baby " sounds like a new Paul Gilbert record hahahaha
Total Bullion I know lol. You can almost feel the crowning in the tone!
Cannibal Corpse...
This might be my favorite so far! Sounds insane!
Couldn't agree more Ola! I use the Plini everyday and after playing around with the Cali this morning I see these two being my my go to.
Tested it this morning and must say it definitely has the sound I was looking for. I play mostly prog metal, so being able to play extended chords without the chord clarity being drowned out by excessive gain is a plus. I like plini's version, but this one nailed it. Only if had built in time based effects.
Hearing those extra notes with clarity definitely helps add some extra dimension to the music.
@@DustinAlford Definitely! The Cali just sparked some inspiration.
They just updated it so it has a reverb and delay in it now
Wow, what a thick sound, Neural DSP and Fortin never dissapoint.
I wish Neural would make a plugin version of the Fortin Fuzz. It's an awesome sounding pedal!
Happy 500k!!
Neural DSP rule!
P.S - Thanks for uploading this today, work is draining (doing accounts..) and this made a great lunch hour!
Im starting to wonder if buying myself an Axe FX II was such a good idea, these plugins are just getting fucking better by the year
There must be a timewarping wormhole on Neural's web page
That fart sound was juicy as hell.
I always try to mic my amp, but this sounded really good so I downloaded the free trial on a whim... and played for 3 hours straight on the default amp, didn't even need to touch any knobs... was pretty blown away and finished writing a song I've had on the back burner for a few months.

Hey Ola! Can you do a shootout between this one, the Omega, and the Natas maybe? Cheers!
I love Ola's guitar playing \m/
I think Neural DSP makes currently the best VSTs for guitar and bass. Huge tone with just a few clicks!
4:43 "Metal Terminator" Riff
FANTASTIC SOUND!
500k subscribers. Conngratulations to the swede
After couple hours of playing I think this might be the best plugin they have made.
Sounds amazing! Love the new single
I swear I’m buying a Solar guitar one of these days! Absolutely love the look and just perfect. One of these day it will be mine.
The single cut he uses in this video sways me a lot.
I love the natural wood v and e type.
From the VERY first second the video started playing for the demo of this new amp plug-in...2 words.....
....BLOWN AWAY..... damn good sounding amp plug-in from Fortin! \m/
And congrats on the 500k subscribers!!!
Goddamn the colorcorrection and lens seems different than usual, looks amacing
"Hair! That's what I have!" - I spit out my drink lmfao
This company is literally costing me 500$ a year.
Do you need to renew the license every year or once you purchase the plugin you own it ?
jon bg you own the individual plug ins
@@jonbg9366 no they just keep coming up with new shit
So far there's a TON of overlap in these plugins. You definitely don't need to buy all of them, maybe like 2-3 tops.
Hopefully you can make more than $500 in a year...
I immediately searched for a review because I know they were coming. I'm so glad the first one is from you Ola!
Thanx for the testing Ola, very informative.
Congrats on 500k

so basically it can do tthe classic marshall crunch to moderrn high gain mettal and super cleeans
?
That ABBA shirt is fucking fire bud.
That tone is insane
Best tone I've heard on this channel so far.

Dingo Lingus 120$ too high ? Wtf. It litteraly replace a 4000$ amp setup. People are going nuts.

What do you think?
Neural DSP release on UA-cam two hours ago. Ola is like YaY!!!!!!!!!!. I’m doin a vid in it. 🎸😎
Congrats on 500k subs
The PLINI plugin feels like I was just given a cheat code to beat the main boss lol hands down best sounding plugin EVER!!!
The Plini one is my favorite right now. Will have to try out the Cali soon though!
I don't think "Ass" and "Plugin" sound very good in the same sentence.
Each to their own baby.
You’re missing out
just imagine it being good in the same sentence and you'll be happier in life!
Start small...
#buttstuff
Damn, something else I need to buy.
I've sworn by Howard Benson's STL Tonality plugin for the longest time now as there is such a great amount of tonal variety and I never any latency issues like I had with BIAS FX, but Neural DSP definitely has my attention. Gonna have to trial some of these plugins :D

The noise gate is one of the best in the market, it's doing the job perfectly without killing the sustain
Hex drive sounds great! Rock on Ola
Damn! Sounds great, rip wallet from yet another necessary Neural DSP purchase.
"Push out a baby"
I expect nothing less lol
I can't wait until the Fortin plugins get the X treatment. Hopefully they'll ad some pedals. I'd love a chorus or a delay on these.
And with my favorite solar too!
500k! Congrats man! :D
hey Ola happy friday! at this point i wait for your vids to come out!!! keep CHUGGIN brother \m/
Hahahahahaha!!! 9:34 Ola's clean preset name. "Wash Your Ass Clean"
So glad to see the fart noise being prominently featured.
I really like this sound! Very good demo. Now I want it :)

Already own the Nameless and the Archtype Nolly plugins. So this one was a quick buy for me lmao
Downloading now 🔥

Check out ML soundlab's Amped plug-in too!
That tone is sick!!!!
Wow.... SO GOOD!!!
from JAPAN.
AMAZING plug-in!
You need to try out some of Vadim Taranov's plugins namely the Raven, Redtone and Blades.
LOVE YOUR SOUND! How are you having a mono input sound so WIDE?? Can't see your mixer. Are you using 2 instances of the Fortin plugin and delaying one track slightly? Please! What's your secret? Rock on!
You can tell by ola's face he fucking digs this shit.
They're getting better and better with plugins. Ola, what do you think about the Ezbass coming out? Cheers!
I don't see the point of including a completely dry clean channel without any mod/delay/reverb effects. But as usual, the high gain sounds are sick.
Tappist I thought the same thing!
Dude, this sounds UH-MAZING!!!! Time to clean out the couch cushions for some extra money!! LOL
That truly sounds fkin awesome. Gonna get me one...maybe...
Why cant Neural put a simple Delay/Reverb pedal on this? Need to fire up Reaper or any other DAW just to add it... makes no sense to me..

You should get a hold of the quad cortex and demo /review it.

I love the smell of Fortin Friday Farts 💨 in the morning ☕️👍🏼
Dat SC geetar though. Sustaniac. Floyd Rose. 20dB boost. 009-046. Take my money.
Bro! I have the Omega omg that thing is amazing! It’s a beast!
