The transpose feature sold me right away. I own one guitar (I'm primarily a drummer), and I change tunings quite often depending on my mood. This transpose option will come in handy for me.
Same thoughts here. It will be so much easier to play lower tone songs without manually having to change the string settings and then go back to standard. I’m sold out on that one.
Archetype Gojira has a pitch shifter that can do similar things, just no steps, it's "fluid". Neural released a preset pack for clean transpose steps. With a host that can handle midi-presets etc (I'm using Cantabile Solo), you can keep your transpose steps but use it as a whammy too.
not any more, Gojira sounds better, in fact the mesa boogie knocks it down...if only NDSP added transpose and stereo to all their sim interfaces including allowing the plugins outside the sim box..then they would be King of Sim market
@@mikehunt576 I have all 3 and use them for different stuff tbh. I still use Petrucci for all my clean shit and I also quite like the rhythm amp, it feels like a modernized version of a mesa amp. Overall I do prefer the mesa boogie plugin though. My only complaint about archetype petrucci is the price really, they really make everything with his name more expensive.
Every time I think that Neural DSP have made their ultimate plugin they come back like, "this is not even our final form!" Thanks for the demo, especially the piezo clean sound is just epic.
@@Itsmellsfishy people call us dumb or crazy but like anything, it has a certain tone. what if i like that tone more. also the interfaces are always sick. Its the future, it already sounds amazing but it can only get better
@@cit0110 It's all about preferences. I have amps, cabs, pedals for bass, my main. But for guitar? I don't have space for that anymore. I'm full digital on guitar.
This is probably my favorite plugin you've demoed. The cleans are amazing as are the effects, the transposing sonically holds up surprisingly well and the heavy tones are crushing in the best possible way. Two thumbs up here.
The Haunted - bullet hole 1998. Some seconds later, Ola plays Trespass from The Haunted...older guys know this shit.younger generation, not that much..
ironically, the transposer has half steps but the whammy pedal in the gojira plugin doesn't, lol. anyway i think this might be the best plugin they ever made
Yes it dooes. Activate the whammy, go on 100% wet, find the middle where your pitch stays the same while on and off and then slowly start to scroll your mouse down. Guarantee it works
Well yeah, he got paid to do it and got it early so he could have the video out at an agreed upon time and date. This is a commercial, so that's kind of how it works.
@@j_c_93 I don't do sponsored videos, no money, I just got an early trial version. And a request from John Petrucci to make a video. That is alone enough reason for me to make a video of a product.
John Petrucci, the doubler, and the transpose is a triple threat. I will donate a kidney to get this plugin. I'm on day 3 of the trial, and I can't stop playing. I'm done with BIAS FX 2. Blue Cat's Axiom is great though, but this is just wow. I can jam along with my favourite bands on TH-cam that over the years always seem to go half a step down.
Hopefully the doubler and room mic features will eventually make it into other NDSP plugins (although they seem pretty damn slow to update previous plugins). The transpose you could already do with Gojira, NDSP even made presets for it, but this is just easier.
absolutely love the intro riff man, your playing is awesome, youre shooting to the top of my influence list man, up there with the best, one of my main inspirations to keep playing
@@GaminWarlord yup, that's The Mirror. He added an extra chug compared to the actual song. Fun fact, The Mirror was the first song Petrucci ever wrote with a 7 string.
I see it has a doubler function there. Something I learned from a Petrucci video ages ago about how he uses a delay sometimes with a very short timebase single slapback running into another amp to create an artificial 3D wall of sound effect and I've done that ever since
This plugin sounds absolutely ridiculous. I played around with the trial for a bit earlier... the clean tones are beautiful and right out of the box the leads are soaring but not cluttered. It's an instabuy for me. My favorite Neural plugin yet.
This plugin is incredible. there are tons of great amp sims but this might be the most versatile I've played so far. and not just able to do a ton of sounds, but it does a ton of sounds all extremely well. everything I would expect from JP working with NDSP
This is amazing! I wasn't expecting it to be released, but I always thought how cool it would be if it was released. Here we are! Instant purchase from me.
These Neural DSP plugins are nuts! I just started checking them out. I have a Mesa Triple Crown 100, and I typically mic it on a 2x12 I built out of solid ash with Eminence Swamp Things in it, but I just moved to an apartment...and I'm blown away at how these plugins sound in a mix, mainly on rhythm guitar. For leads I think I'll still just piss off the neighbors, but I might actually do some rhythm tracking at least for layers with these.
Never thought I would enjoy a John Petrucci Plug In that much! Well I think Opeth sounds, Conquering Dystopia and Nevermore aren’t that hard to reach now 😄
Holy shit that is indeed the complete NDSP plugin! I thought I’m done after getting Nolly, Wong and Gojira but I’m seriously considering getting this one.
K. With the plini, nameless, granophyre and gojira (and fortin etc available) i dont feel tempted. With so many plugins it would make sense to pay for a base edition and add on amps etc for a lower cost than a full plugin every time. But yeah update all the plugins with that detuner pls... :) I use a drop pedal but playing regularly and lowering in afterwards from within the plugin would be convenient.
I'm just sorta tired of all the prog metal plugins. They've all been really well made, but I feel like they all kinda do the same thing with minor differences. I'd like something Orange style myself.
@@NickTheSickDick yeah but you can have ms number in harmonizer as well, in theory, at least. I had multi fx pedal back in a day and it had delay combined with pitch shifter, so it changed pitch after a certain amount of ms
been jamming with that plugin since June 2023 and i can say that, its the most complete plugin i've ever used the con thing that i will say is that, in order to get a chugging crispy tight metal sound you REALLY need to dig in into the cabinet's microphones,but if you do then this pluging wont disappoint you
Ah, good old Ola - always looking for that extra grind 😛 Welp, I might be tempted to buy a certain Neural DSP plugin now 😉 Thing is, I'm a little short on cash these days 😅 A little heads up: the doubler sounds good on headphones, but weird on monophonic devices (such as phones; also tested it on my Windows 11 PC by setting the sound to mono)...
I bought the Gojira and Cory Wong plugins some days ago and it took some time convincing my wife. And now comes this... I'm looking for a good divorce lawyer.
Wow! Now I'm glad I didn't purchase the Gojira plugin - I mean it is a great plugin, don't get me wrong, but let's be honest - JP is the ultimate one :)
Ola! Thanks for great content! As always. I've been heaving a thought for a while now. If you programmed a fake guitar riff, say one of the virtual guitar plugins out there, and ran it through the Neural DSP. Would it be possible to make it sound somehow close to a real axe? I mean simple riff/power chords. What do you think? Have you ever tried my sick ass idea?
I do this sometimes when I'm working on a demo and don't have a guitar next to me. It sounds much more realistic but of course, the guitar samples have to be decent too. It's pretty effective still as long as it's basic power chords and single note riffs :) At the very least you get a rough idea of what type of amp you might want to use down the road for the real recording, assuming the guitar samples are reasonably similar to the guitar you are using.
I have an old Boss ME50 Multieffect and I use a stereo chorus with the minimum values to get that double result. And it sounds great when you use headphones.
Forget double tracking, quad tracking is the way. The doubler is really just a Haas effect, it maybe usable for playing live, but won't be as good as double tracking.
After 5 years of not being able to afford a guitar i finally am getting back into it and got this plugin on black friday. can't wait to start jamming again next week :')
Man. I was done. I don’t need another plug-in. I didn’t even want any other plugin. But this. Holy cockballs it sounds awesome!! Damn. Now I need AND want this one.
Damn it! Neural DSP seems to surprise us with every plugin release. I was fine with Nolly and Plini but every plugin after those have had some special tones the differ a lot of the previous ones.

Thanks for checking out the plugin Ola! 🤘
The man himself!
Ohh God!!!!
The legend himself has commented
The man, the legend, the beard
It really sounds amazing, I may have to pull myself away from my amp and actually use this plug in
That "Transpose" feature is gonna be a great feature I hope gets integrated into their other plugins
Yeah, it's a fantastic addition. I've noticed it doesn't really mess with your tone either, which is perfect.
The transpose feature sold me right away. I own one guitar (I'm primarily a drummer), and I change tunings quite often depending on my mood. This transpose option will come in handy for me.

Ollllaaa. The awake tone is one of my favorites of all time. You doing a modern version of it has me throwing my wallet at the monitor.
I think the doubler may be pretty interesting to work with when recording. You can avoid double tracking your guitar pretty much
That’s the first thing I thought of
not really. True double tracked will always sounds better. But just jamming and such the doubler is great
Yeah, you can't cheat multi tracking guitar takes. That's not how it works
Forget double tracking, quad tracking is the way. The doubler is really just a Haas effect, it maybe usable for playing live, but won't be as good as double tracking.
There's already plugins that do that fyi. The one I use is DoubleTracker by Vadim Taranov.
