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.
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.
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 :-)
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.
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
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.
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/
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. 🤘🏻
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.
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.
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! 🤘🤘
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!
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!
Loving the trial of this. When I saw it was a Fortin I thought I'd be skipping it because I felt the last 2 were for more extreme metal, but this covers the whole range, from clean to brutal. Speaking of the cleans, I'm impressed by this the most. I love the spacey, airy cleans of Plini, but this one provides an almost natural tone. I can't wait to try my electro-acoustic on it when this stupid lockdown ends and I can get it back off the luthier.
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.
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?
You really have to check out Omega Granophyre by Neural DSP as well! It has an additional selection of mic placements and an EQ. Just purchased it a few weeks ago and it sounds beefy as hell
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!
Get the demo and AB it with the ones you have on seperate channels so you can flick quickly between them, maybe with some tweaking will be pretty close?
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!
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
4:43 ...I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.
Haha
loll
I once went to mars but i dont recall
Not bad 😅
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
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...

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
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
This might be my favorite so far! Sounds insane!
I wish Neural would make a plugin version of the Fortin Fuzz. It's an awesome sounding pedal!
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.
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.

There must be a timewarping wormhole on Neural's web page
Wow, what a thick sound, Neural DSP and Fortin never dissapoint.
Happy 500k!!
Neural DSP rule!
P.S - Thanks for uploading this today, work is draining (doing accounts..) and this made a great lunch hour!
That fart sound was juicy as hell.
4:43 "Metal Terminator" Riff
I think Neural DSP makes currently the best VSTs for guitar and bass. Huge tone with just a few clicks!
Hey Ola! Can you do a shootout between this one, the Omega, and the Natas maybe? Cheers!
I love Ola's guitar playing \m/
This is the first Neural DSP plugin I've actually been really impressed with. That said, the $120 price point is way too high for one head, one cab, and three pedals - one of which is completely redundant thanks to the Neural DSP interface already coming equipped with a noise gate.
Dingo Lingus 120$ too high ? Wtf. It litteraly replace a 4000$ amp setup. People are going nuts.
@@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.
"Hair! That's what I have!" - I spit out my drink lmfao
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
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...
After couple hours of playing I think this might be the best plugin they have made.
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 :-)

Yeah lots of folks feel the same way. It’s a pain to have to plug stack
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.
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..

@@tappistrt Try Cantabile Lite which is free
@@tappistrt Problem is, the Archetypes don't sound like Fortin plugins.

Goddamn the colorcorrection and lens seems different than usual, looks amacing

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.
Sounds amazing! Love the new single

so basically it can do tthe classic marshall crunch to moderrn high gain mettal and super cleeans

I immediately searched for a review because I know they were coming. I'm so glad the first one is from you Ola!
500k subscribers. Conngratulations to the swede
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.

It's pretty strange they haven't yet. They are talented folks, I'm almost entirely sure they could do it.
Archetype: Abasi, Plini, and Nolly all have delay / reverb options built in, my man
@@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.

Check out the Mercuriall Reaxis
Bought my copy of the new single on vinyl last night can’t wait for it to arrive. Good stuff going on this channel
The noise gate is one of the best in the market, it's doing the job perfectly without killing the sustain
Thanx for the testing Ola, very informative.
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"
That ABBA shirt is fucking fire bud.
Congrats on 500k
Check out ML soundlab's Amped plug-in too!
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! 🤘🤘
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!
Dat SC geetar though. Sustaniac. Floyd Rose. 20dB boost. 009-046. Take my money.
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!
"Push out a baby"
I expect nothing less lol
Best tone I've heard on this channel so far.
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!
You can tell by ola's face he fucking digs this shit.
I really like this sound! Very good demo. Now I want it :)
So glad to see the fart noise being prominently featured.
Late as hell but that purr at 11:39 gd
Congrats on 500k subs
4:44 props for the Terminator riff.
You need to try out some of Vadim Taranov's plugins namely the Raven, Redtone and Blades.
- Hello and Welcome to our beautiful Infinite Gain Fest 2020
- Excuse ma'm, how many dirty channels do we have here?
- Yes.
They're getting better and better with plugins. Ola, what do you think about the Ezbass coming out? Cheers!
Neural DSP release on RUclips two hours ago. Ola is like YaY!!!!!!!!!!. I’m doin a vid in it. 🎸😎

Damn, something else I need to buy.
Damn! Sounds great, rip wallet from yet another necessary Neural DSP purchase.
I heard they hand out those ABBA tshirts when you get to Sweden
SCUMCHRIST718 they’re like Hawaiian leis they just put them on you when you get off the plane 🤪
I love the smell of Fortin Friday Farts 💨 in the morning ☕️👍🏼
Happy friday ola this video is awesome
6:24 those two chords always remind me of Jake E Lee in The Ultimate Sin era.
"So I've already made a preset, its called "Push out that baby" " I cried 😆😆
Already own the Nameless and the Archtype Nolly plugins. So this one was a quick buy for me lmao
super fun! thanks for uploading
1:34 soo hilarious lol :D

Me: *starts playing guitar*
Dogs: 4:55
Genius comment hahahaha
I have the cali plug in, but even though it has el34 tubes it doesn't have that wide open sound that 6l6s gives me. That's my opinion.
Dude, this sounds UH-MAZING!!!! Time to clean out the couch cushions for some extra money!! LOL
Hex drive sounds great! Rock on Ola
awesome testing ....
That tone is insane
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?
And with my favorite solar too!
9:42 clean ❤️
You really have to check out Omega Granophyre by Neural DSP as well! It has an additional selection of mic placements and an EQ.
Just purchased it a few weeks ago and it sounds beefy as hell
Yep, Granophyre is awesome for high gain!
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!
I insta bought this, honestly trial them, they all see use from me besides the NTS.
@@Harmi-XD yeah trialing them all soo hard to decide haha!
You know what? I think I like it.
Welp time to use my stimulus check, definitely a necessity. Great vid \,,/
Can't decide whether I want this or the NTS more
You should get a hold of the quad cortex and demo /review it.
Downloading now 🔥
Fuck that thing sounds great
AMAZING plug-in!
I see it to be very similar to the Nameless, so I don't know if I should buy it or not (I have the Nameless, NTS, Plini and Nolly).
...*much* more versatile and honestly - not so near the Nameless to my mind.
I agree.. will be trying tomorrow.
But it's tough as I already have most..
Get the demo and AB it with the ones you have on seperate channels so you can flick quickly between them, maybe with some tweaking will be pretty close?
Nah, the Nameless has the overly scratchy sound, this is more of a thick Marshall sound.
Comparing this to Messhuggah rig...
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!
Great I want to try it out and the website is on the fritz
