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 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.
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
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/
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! ;-)
How do you get around the lag from using the 2i2 2nd gen? I've tried recording but can't shake the 7ms or so sound lag from going 'di' into the 2i2, obviously when I use direct monitoring it's just the clean guitar signal input so I can't get the nice plugin sounds with the no lag direct monitoring gives me.
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..
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!
hi Keyan ... when i use pitch swift for set low tune i listen 2 guitar with mix knob totally on right side , like the sound was doubled (low and standard tune). Can it depends on my low power cpu?
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.
just a quick question,what do u say about the amps in this compared to plini,omega and nameless,btw heavy af tones just some clicks away, and a great additional feature u told about detune cool🤘
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
@@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 tried neural plugins , my cpu usage was off the chart, just wondering what hardware you use to run this, I have an 8 core and 32 GB ram , 1 tb Samsung SSD. Am I missing something
@@mickkorba5242 I use a Ryzen 3700x. But you should search "single thread cpu benchmark" online and find the best single thread cpu within your budget.
@@michaelklym7043 Would an amd Ryzen 7 4700u handle it. I checked the chart on the comparison site but couldn't find any info. Thanks so much for your time by the way I do appreciate it. Could I get a decent enough laptop for say £800 ish , computers are more complicated than playing guitar 🎸🙂
How do you get rid of the delay between playing and hearing it? I use pro tools first with a focusrite and it throws me off hearing myself half a second later
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.
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.
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
What strings do you use for Drop A#? I always have a hard time deciding between having very heavy strings versus lighter for more playability in the higher range.
@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?
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?
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.
@@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.
Are there any plugins that only do that detune feature? I dont need this whole plugin so i can pitch shift my guitar. And i cant find a digitech whammy pedal in my country
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.
What about solo I cant seem to get a good solo sound any amp sims like marshal jvm or something. Downloading. Keyan do you have or did you buy a 24 bit soundcard for your com. Im thinking I need to do this.
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.

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
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 play the guitar so beautifully! That clean towards the end wow.
Thanks man, glad you dig it!
3:30 is drop F#. the joys of perfect pitch lol
much love from adelaide!
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!

The amount of “a little bit” in this video. LOL. Great demo by the way.

This is one of the most informative reviews I've seen so far. I may pick this up. Nice job dude.
I was gonna say it sounds like Drop F# and then you played Thornhill so it all worked out lol
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!
