You are so right about the drop tune pedal man, None of the other ones that i've tried hit the spot just right for me, but this plugin is just bonkers as a whole
I got it to sound VERY close to Toxic Garbage Island tone. I used my own Maxon OD808 with a Charvel San Dimas with Duncan Distortion and increased the bass a little
Only review worth seeing. You are a humble person, you play amazing guitar, and you do research on what you are saying. No matter how big your channel will become stay like this!
Keyan, I gotta say thank you for all of this amazing content. Your lessons are really helpful and your tone is always on point, thanks for all the inspiration!
Mi primer Plugin es este. Y la verdad que tú vídeo más algún otro que sume por ahí me ayudaron al 100%. Creo que no logro sacarle el 100% del sonido real al plugin por falta de bocinas en la placa de audio pero la verdad suena increíble!! Gracias😊
I bought the Granophyre Plugin, which I LOVE, but the Gojira came out 3 days later and I was a tad salty. Anyways I love the longer-form content on your channel. Your killing these plugin demos, keep it up.
Really excellent and concise video. I subscribed about half way through. I have watched several of your videos. We all appreciate the great job you are doing. You articulate your thoughts wonderfully and your sound is spot on. The tones you achieve are what all of us are chasing. \m/
This tone CRUSHES!!!! I’ve got amps and amp tweaking coming out of my ears with my Fractal FM3 so I’ll wait until this goes on sale and pick it up as well as the SLO..
i use the pitchproof pitch shifter since all the bands i listen to use different tunings. its really good for guitar imo and free, but it wont even lower bass a half step without sounding super weird. could be worth a try for you.
I have used Pitchproof as well because I'm too lazy to hook up my Digitech Drop pedal most of the time. The shifter in this plugin is way better than Pitchproof, sounds just as good as my drop pedal. You just have to run it into a tuner outside the plugin to find where the steps are to make sure you're actually in tune. I have presets based around those positions to make it easy
Hey Keyan. As usual, your riffs are crushing, but your clean playing at the end of the video is awesome! Thanks for this video! I´m blown away by the Gojira PlugIn btw! ;-)
@@facepunch267 The beauty of these open tunings is that 90% of the time, things tend to write themselves insanely quickly cause they utilise a lot of open strings (not to take anything away from Keyan of course, he's a great player) but definitely try some out. Start with FACGCE and see how you get on, that's a really popular tuning for a lot of math rock/midwest emo bands and you'll probably discover the foundation of a usable riff in the first 5 minutes of trying it out.
i've found that the Fortin Cali and Archetype Plini plugins have solid clean tones. I'd think the Cory Wong one is great for clean tones, but haven't tried it yet.
Great video as usual and man, you're playing is awesome! Special request - you should also do a video trying out the ToneForge Jeff Loomis Plugin. Would be really great to see you do your detailed breakdown explaining every setting on it. I always come back to your videos to understand some basics of tone setting! Thanks a lot for the content!
How is the latency with the pitch shifter pedal at 100% wet. I sometimes use a pitch shifter plugin, when im to lazy to tune down, its ok for rifs, but when you want to play faster, its quite noticable
I used an external tuner to find where 1 and 2 whole steps down were, and made presets based on those positions, and it's just as good as my Digitech Drop pedal without the hassle of hooking up an extra pedal. It's great
Wow... I didn't expect this metal inspired plugin to be so versatile while not cutting back on the metal tones. I might just make the switch from my cheap fender mustang II amp to this.
@@Game4Lord I was tempted to buy one of those, but I want something with an evertune and a single fishman modern at the bridge. I already have one but it's a regular scale. Seems this plugin can turn my existing guitar into a baritone, so I probably won't need to buy another one!
@@ba3960 I thought they would've been the best choice seeing how affordable they are compared to other brands that charge an arm and a leg and have abhorrent QC/build quality compared to that of Chapman.
I was trying to decide which dsp I wanted today and I was on the edge with this one and the Abasi, but this wone as soon as I heard the clean tone at the end. So much post rock coming up!!
@@americanmetalhead7318 I went ahead and got the Gojira plugin the other day and it sounds fantastic. Nolly sounds incredible, too, but there are so many different tones on the Gojira one that it is just worth it. There are some Cory Wong tones in it, too.
Thanks for the demo, I'm really stoked for this plugin! I slapped the default tone on a Gojira cover that I had in the works and I was very impressed. It's on my channel, if you want to check it out. But there's so much more to explore here, I'm loving the octaver effects. I think I'll want to keep it after that 14 day trial.
Definitely enjoyed the video man and I will be subscribing. In this video, around the 3:35 mark, those chords and that little melody you play, what artist or band is that typical of? Sorry if the question seems vague but those prog-esque chords and that melody is just something that appeals to me and I’m trying to find more of that specific sound
I love Neural DSP, but how do you get rid of that terrible hiss sound. When you were playing that math rock preset, there was this constant buzz and crackle in the background. It was subtle but noticeable. I have the same problem with my Gojira plugin, and I can't figure how to get rid of it.
I think this is their most mix-ready one to date. It's fucking incredible and probably my favorite since the Nameless. Plus the addition of effects and a good clean amp renders my Plini useless 😂 anyone want the license for half price?
Hello Keyan nice video, i noticed you are using Krk Rokit monitors and they are sounding awesome. Iwanted to buy a pair but don't know which type? My room is on both sides 3,25 meters long. There's the Rp5 gen4 and the Rp 7 gen 4. I can't play loud in my room. For the moment i'm using a stereo amplifier with 2 technics speakers.
Bro i Love your Videos, you are always a great inspiration to me! the high tone rush what you address at 15:38, I find unbearable! did you get it under control?
Nice but all plug-ins should be included in one bundle- even if it's a premium price point given the high quality of the product. Hit "+1" if anyone else is with on this one. I also think they should be included in their new QC offering pre-loaded- +2?
@Keyan Houshmand Live, Your videos have been a huge help to me lately while trying to learn how to mix. What are you using for clean and distorted bass?
Yooooo not sure if you've seen this video from February or not, but I just saw it today: they put out a video and included a link with a bunch of presets for drop-tuned settings in the Archetype Gojira plugin. I just tried them out and they're actually fucking tight /watch?v=B5c36rq7CGs
Hey Keyan! I was wondering if you could do a video on composing riffs with DADGAD tuning, I really like it but I find myself a bit lost when trying to play on it
This $159 plugin is all you need and you'll be set.... until the next $159 Neural DSP plugin is released
I'd like to see a comparison between this on Nolly. Nolly has been my favorite. Can get almost any tone out of it.
@@saswatidhar3278 wait where?
@@saswatidhar3278 yeah i found it
@@saswatidhar3278 yeah if you don't want to support the creators of these awesome plugins.

Petrucci is god like for the up and down transposing
But wouldnt a a drop like transpose also nice, like the Petrucci one has? So here you cant just easy dropdown from E to D...
@@Killcycle should i drop tuning with gojira or petrucci
You play the guitar so beautifully! That clean towards the end wow.
Thanks man, glad you dig it!
Big thanks to Neural DSP for letting me try it early to show off to you guys! Will you guys try it?
Tried it. A bit too heavy for my taste. Great for chugging tho.
I didn't even try the trial version. As soon as I saw GOJIRA on the amp I knew it's gonna be epic so I just bought it right away \m/
I got it to sound VERY close to Toxic Garbage Island tone. I used my own Maxon OD808 with a Charvel San Dimas with Duncan Distortion and increased the bass a little
That Warmoth neck is absolutely stunning! Still amazes me to this day. #modgoals
You know what would be sick, if neural dsp made a plugin strictly dedicated to pedals and fx
A Gojira plugin demo, without any Gojira riffs is blasphemy :D Great tone man!
3:30 is drop F#. the joys of perfect pitch lol
much love from adelaide!

Keyan, I gotta say thank you for all of this amazing content. Your lessons are really helpful and your tone is always on point, thanks for all the inspiration!
I was gonna say it sounds like Drop F# and then you played Thornhill so it all worked out lol
I just bought a digitech drop pedal... dam it! ;P
@@BittersweetDuality how do you like the digitech drop pedal.im thinking about getting one
Hey, I got plugins licenses that I don't use anymore, if you are interested in buying any for cheap :)
@@FilippoBuscemi93 why would anyone want to buy them off you when they could get them all for free
Man between this and the Soldano. Ahhh great vid and playing.
This is one of the most informative reviews I've seen so far. I may pick this up. Nice job dude.
This was an instant buy lol. The amount of variety with this plugin is awesome.
When you started playing with the first octave pedal I thought you were going to break into the intro to “When Doves Cry”. Great tones!
Neural dsp is the one company that can make me give them 150 dollars on day one of a product
Great vid keyan!
Archetype Gojira was cracked within the first day lmao freely cracked
@@saswatidhar3278 yeah and neural took it down
@@vallabhsivaprasad wdym took it down lmao it's still available literally everywhere. Vsttorrrents and all have it since the first day
@@saswatidhar3278 thats not good
@@vallabhsivaprasad maybe not for the company no, but for us bedroom musicians hell yeah man. I can save dat money to buy some actual hardware
was using it earlier, some truly evil sounding tones. love the addition of the loathe too.
The amount of “a little bit” in this video. LOL. Great demo by the way.
Less is more
Oh man, seeing this video is 25 minutes long made me so happy
Greetings from Spain, keep it up!
Never clicked this fast.
Thanks dude!
Just waiting for your demo man, amazing as always! Cheers

Aight, that does it. Haven't even saw Bea's spin on it, and I'm already pullin the trigger for that one!
"Without any further ado, But before get into that" 🤣 good stuff.
I'm excited to check it out
You made it sound amazing man!
Sounds great Keyan! Thanks for the demo, especially the octaver pedal trick.
Holy crap your playing is phenomenal !
i didnt think there was a chance i'd find someone playing math rock on this amp. i stand corrected. thanks for showing the versatility on the amp
Ayyy, nice touch throwing Thornhill in there. That song is almost too much fun to play.
Great video as always man, but than snippet from reptile at 4:20 made me try to destroy the like button!
Reptile is so good
Great number choice too!
totally unrelated, but witch hazel always helped my razor burn. back when i used to shave anyway
I don't put anything else than Philips Oneblade on my neck, otherwise it turns into peperoni pizza
Sounds perfect! What is the feedback I’m hearing?
seems to be some interference in the pickups. i'm currently fighting this in my new apartment. it's worse with single coils.
I just upgraded my Macbook pro and pod farm is no longer updated properly for it, so I bought this and am so excited to into it.
In love with this sim. Also never thought to use the pedal that way..... Good stuff!
Nice review, and gorgeous playing. Thank you.
Amazing plugin

This is still hands down the best Plugin that Neural have put out.

Chapman makes some killer baritones for dirt cheap.
