  • I actually own a Morgan PR12, it's just been in the care of a friend of mine since I bought it. If it's anything like the PR12 in this plugin, I am gonna adore it. And it might indicate that I need the rest of them. Check out NeuralDSP's Morgan Amps Suite and try my presets here;

    Mark, this is the first product review of yours that I've seen. Great in depth look at this amp review. Thank you.

    I demoed this for about 10 minutes and bought it right away. Like a Tone King, I've always wanted an AC20, but I could never justify spending so much. Panning the AC20 and the PR12 to opposite sides sounds epic! Good job Neural DSP and thanks for the demo Mark. I always learn so much from watching you demo gear.

      Hoping for some holiday sales 🤣 I’ve already given neural DSP way too much money this year

      Wait you can pan two different amps at once? whaaaaaaa?

    • @otherworldsnaps
      @otherworldsnaps 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In your DAW make 2 tracks and put the plugin on both of them. Setup one to be the AC20 and the other to be the PR12, then pan them to opposite sides. Monitor both tracks so you can hear them both at the same time as you play. Sounds awesome!@@ProudFilthyCasual

    The intro song was excellent as usual. That bass interlude was delightful. I’m a sucker for bass guitar played above the 12th feet.
    I know nothing about Morgan amps, but the plugin sounds really good. I think the Archetype Plini still has everything I need, especially with the new “X” update.

      @markjohnstonofficial  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Pro tip; be patient and diligent. I bought a PR12 recently on the gear page for under a grand because the right opportunity arrived. This is very much the game as the user market slowly starts to soften back up; patience will pay off

    Great demo. I kind of wish they would’ve put one of Morgan’s 2x12 half open back cabs. They sound huge. Oh well. Lol. I’ll just get an IR. I wonder if that Morgan od2 is based on a friedman be od pedal.

  • @Paul-D
    @Paul-D 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The PR12 is my favourite so far. Ive actually panned it against the soldano set with sbit of crunch.
    An SLO 100 and a princeton, wonder if that combo has made any rigs before now haha

    Sounds good so far. Test will be how versatile it is from the rest of their plugin amps.

    • @BenEvansUSA
      @BenEvansUSA 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      How do you mean? Just how versatile it is in its own right? Or how different it is from the rest of neural’s offerings?

  • @frankfonseca5039
    @frankfonseca5039 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I just bought this last night without demoing it because there was a half price sale. I was not as impressed at the out of the box tones. I have a lot of different software so it all sounded like something I already had. So, I had to not be lazy and actually tweak stuff. LOL. Watching your video really made me feel better about it.

    How would you compare this to the Mateus Astro Archetype?

  • @PudWud1
    @PudWud1 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    From playing the trial, I think the Morgan sounds great as a standalone plug in, but if I want to use my 'real' pedalboard then the Tone King takes pedals in a more natural way.

  • @rogerloydmccoy
    @rogerloydmccoy 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Did you use any UA affects on the channel strip/s you record into? That sounded massive !!

    • @markjohnstonofficial
      @markjohnstonofficial  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      For the song at the start all tracks are recorded through a 1073 and processed with ProQ eq, la2a compressors, atr tape, an api2500 bus compressor Neve summing and my mastering chain.
      The sound samples is just the 1073 for setting input gain and my mastering chain (capitol compressor and atr master tape) and those basically serve to essentially try and keep the talking / samples up to the same level so the video isn’t way quieter than the song.

  • @sons7429
    @sons7429 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I got latency in the standalone version and it’s eating major cpu in my DAW. It sounds great though. Maybe it’s my usb hub

    • @herfstmys4125
      @herfstmys4125 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      try adjusting the audio buffer size

    • @markjohnstonofficial
      @markjohnstonofficial  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yeah I would second messing with your buffer size. I haven’t found any latency or cpu issues and my laptop isn’t particularly good.

    • @ryanbaker81
      @ryanbaker81 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you’re on Windows, makes sure your not using the Windows Audio driver.

  • @jgmccormick
    @jgmccormick 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Just be sure to get your PR12 checked to make sure it doesn’t have this issue or make absolutely sure you’re using filtered, in-spec power. Morgans are great sound-wise, but maybe some suspect build decisions. I had an SW50RC with an EV12L in it and loved it. Just trying to save you trouble down the road.
