Just got this plugin, seriously best guitar plugin I've used, seriously considering going back to everyone of my tracks and substituting this one for all the other's I've used in the past and remastering.
Just bought this plugin suite a couple weeks ago and saw this vid for the first time today. Can def confirm that the tones are excellent and fit super well into mixes. I have a very humble setup and get great sounding results with this stuff
Watching a different demo video of same product. Get notification from Ola demoing same product. Skipped first video for Ola. Because I like you and your in depth demonstrations.
IKEMEFUNA Heh heh ride on man. Don't need to mention names, going back to watch the rest of the first video. I do like his channel. And myself being originally from the Pacific Northwest I give him some love. He does great videos, yet I prefer Ola's personality. Am I still talking??? Take care dude.
Was going to get the Neural DSP Plini archetype but had an issue purchasing using an international currency sadly. So I found this one im extremely happy and theres a built in tuner!!!!!
I believe the Evergreen preset is from After the Burials new Album and last time I checked it was pretty much djent and not swedish death metal. Nevertheless I'm sure you could use this tone for other genres like swedish death metal too! Nice review
While I was originally going to grab the Neural DSP NTS, this has way more options for the casual home studio engineer. Is the emulation better than Neural? Probably not, but with a channel strip and some post EQ tweaks, you're there. Having several amps at your fingertips expands the options and makes for a better album
Even in the mix in the beginning song it was too fizzy, distored and flobby although you were playing on a six string there. The layout and the concept of the plugin are great but the tones were better in the toneforge nameless.
Well that was some awesome riffage and chug, Ola! I am constantly inspired by your music and by your attitude towards everything metal and just life in general. You make me want to be better at playing guitar regardless of what kind of music I play. I'm inspired to be myself. Isn't that what this is all about? :-) Love, from Minneapolis, MN, USA!
The NOMAD preset hits hard with any third party bogner vst. i use all the irs from this pack mainly Evergreen, Nomad, Node, and No love but i use them with other vst plug ins cause i used this trial up. crazy how you can use the irs with any other plugin and get very similar tones if your using relatable heads compared to the ones in the stl bundle.
I like this plugin pack a bunch, but it's lack of MIDI control support for the VST version is keeping me from using this as a main utility. I've requested this feature to be added, so here's hoping they listen and act. Love your videos, Ola!
@@jacobsmith1877 Right, all the huge albums from this well respected producer are fizzy slop. They know nothing about guitar tones. Oh wait, these tones are already edited to recreate those same album tones so that they're ready to sit in the mix. Man I feel stupid.
ChrisSignvm if the tones are so good then why doesn't it sound good? Ola has made a hell of a lot of videos and this is some of the worst tone he has had in a mix in years
HI Ola, Compared your videos still thing the fortin sound better than this? I think this looks even better and sound kind like same would say this sounds better.
Wow. That clean tone sounded great. Some of the lead tones were good. Personally I thought the distorted rhythm tones sounded fizzy and muddy. Maybe less gain?
you know, the STL Tomes Emissary plugin bundle is pretty awesome. it's free. And if you run the Emissary on the clean channel and run Ignite's ProF.E.T pedal through it and use either your impulses (thanks by the way) or a good Mesa Boogie impules, it's like, RAWR! Awesome-- Razor sharp, dude. So if that's free... I'll trust STL tones. This has GOT to be awesome.
I perked up when I saw this was a shit to test due to their free plugin being so rad. I've currently got that, the Fortin NTS, and Toneforge Menace. I don't NEED more toys, but I mean...
Ola, I knew you were someone to watch from the moment I found you on you tube demoing amp heads...and hear I am 3 years later watching you demo amp sims! Thank you my friend 🤘
Mercuriall plug ins are the best competition to Neural DSP. Both use artificial neural networks to emulate tube distortion. Ola has some really good videos on them.
@@XepiphonerockerX really? i like how this has a tuner and a bass all in one plugin. DSP doesnt offer the tuner is my only drawback...i dont like my mercuriall plugin. and toneforge ben bruce has been my favorite by far...
@@motoxjosh29 The tuner is really nice, and reaaaaally fast haha. I kinda changed my opinion about this plugin, its pretty good. But this plugin doesn't respond like a real amp. The Neural stuff acts how an amp would when you turn the knobs. The sounds i get with the STL are pretty good but the included IR's sound pretty meh. It is a good plugin but i wouldn't buy it if there was a demo version available at the beginning.
These simulations are getting ridiculously better every year. Nothing beats the real thing though, or does it!?! I am a drummer first, sloppy guitarist second. Real drums preferred. And open to using amp sims within my band. They sound great, simple to use, and saves time when recording, to me at least. What do I know, I'm just a drummer!
As a (fortunate) ex-owner of a Diezel VH-4, that (Amp 4) doesn't sound much like it in my (unqualified) opinion. VH-4 always had a "smoothness" to the tone that, in this demo at least, Amp 4 is COMPLETELY missing!! Shame because I have been looking for a decent sim for that amp for ages. Suggestions would be appreciated if anyone knows of a better example..?
Listened to fluff, Ola and the STL videos - gotta be honest I don’t like the guitar sounds from the plugin. The bass tones are really nice though. I really love the NTS, Nameless and dominator plug-ins for guitar
LOL. They're two completely different concepts. Neural DSP makes tone-accurate amp models. Tonality offers models that have been slaved over to be mix-ready. They're not gonna sound great or exactly like the actual amps because they've been expertly edited to sit well in the mix. That's why even in this vid the intro tune sounds nicer than the solo tones. If you're just jamming out then sure, not gonna sound too pleasing to the ear. If you're tracking for a mix, then the thousands of hours of experience and work it took to create and deliver major album tones into a plug-in format means much more.
ChrisSignvm - I get they are aimed at different uses and I’m sure a lot of people will love the plugin for guitar just not my cuppa tea. I think the bass tones are pretty tasty though
@@axelovingguy Crushing guitar tones from legendary amps processed through trial and error by a well respected producer not your 'cuppq tea'... gotta wonder what actually is in that cup.
Ola, I’m a huge fan of you since you weren’t talking in your videos. Love your music also. Can you explain why some guitar softwares can work standalone like bias and other software has to be run through a daw. Is it possible to use software for practice. Hopefully you will answer me in the next faq thanks and cheers
@@4511702 Some are actually both too, just depends on the developer. If you want a question answered in the FAQ, go to the latest FAQ video and leave your question there.
Hey Ola. Can you please make a Guitar tone like SODOM, DESTRUCTION or any early thrash metal bands use. Just an idea to your next video. Thanks. Would be highly appreciated.
The Evergreen preset is a VH4? Did they actually use a Vh4 for that album? I didn't think you could make a VH 4 djent that hard and I've even played one multiple times.
Yeah... Me too. In my opinion, they haven't exactly nailed the VH-4... Shame because I NEED a decent sim of one. The VH-4 has a "smoothness" (for want of a better word) that's missing from the tone of that one in the video.
So many good reviews for plug ins... not sure what to get. This sounds great and is in sound type that i will be looking for. Hmmmm i will have to watch your reviews again. Then choose.
gawydion M no demo version it seems. Im betting on neural, plini and nameless miles better than the stl benson to my ears. Also prefer neural's user interface.
Both are great. Tonality suites are designed for really shining in a mix as-is. If you're just jamming out and want a 5150 or something, this is not going to be as accurate or pleasing; it will however amaze you at how awesome it sounds by doing absolutely nothing but sticking a decent drum track behind it. Both are different and both are great.
Hi Ola! I know is not the correct place to ask you but.. What do you think about Ceremonial Oath??? Is important for me to know what do you think about!!! Thanks if you wanna answer me you rock!!!
Damn, by themselves, this sounds amazing to me. I’d imagine you’d need to mess with the EQ and lower the gain in a full mix, but that’s to be expected.
Sounds insane!!!
Just got this plugin, seriously best guitar plugin I've used, seriously considering going back to everyone of my tracks and substituting this one for all the other's I've used in the past and remastering.
I don't even play guitar, and I love these videos.
well, you should start picking up one 😉
Yeah man I’ll help u pick your first guitar I know some hidden deals
errorzone is from the band Vein - VERY highly recommended Ola!
Matt Ashley vein kicks so much butt!
came here to say the same thing!
Hell yeah bruther
that album was fury!
Much Agreed!!
I love these tones and how ola always gets any amp sim to sound amazing then when I do it it sounds like a line 6 pocket pod 😂

Fluffy fluff!!
I watched Fluffy Bear first
I was just watching the Matt Heafy demo
Watched SMR's first.
That clean tone he was playing...some of it's from Painters of the Tempest II - Triptych Lux by Ne Obliviscaris. Sounded so damn good!
Was going to get the Neural DSP Plini archetype but had an issue purchasing using an international currency sadly. So I found this one im extremely happy and theres a built in tuner!!!!!

That's the spot, oohhh yeaaahhh baby play it!

Loved the intro guitar part, hated every tone I heard in this demo aside for the cleans. Thats a first for me here.
It’s probably because the tones makes better for full mixes. Basically made to fit perfect in a mix together with bass guitar
Even in the mix in the beginning song it was too fizzy, distored and flobby although you were playing on a six string there. The layout and the concept of the plugin are great but the tones were better in the toneforge nameless.
idk why but the evergreen tone sounded shit to me aswell...
Same here. Not impressed. Everything sounds too harsh and fizzy. And sim-y.
you go it. way too smeared. LIke there is no attack
Marty Pelto sent me here... I'm a not disappointed! I'm in... SUBBED!
I use BIAS AMP 2 and BIAS FX 2. I really like what I'm able to accomplish with those programs. The Fortin NST plugins sound awesome too!
trust me bias is shit vs Fortin nst
Wow the sound of an HM2 pedal in your DAW!

awesome riffage ?? he is one of the most boring guitar players on earth lol
What you played for the intro sounded very much like Fear Factory to me. Pretty cool tone there dude.
ola your style and sound is what I like playing and hearing thanks man Ocala FL

If you look up Seacow Cabs you can get loads of awesome free IRs too! I love me some good Mesa Boogie!
Swede with an HM2 tone: "YES"
wow! I might have to get this. Sounds great.
This is insane!!!! Congratulations Ola!!!!
Definitely need to get this
I need this. I LOVE the tone of greyhavens record!
Sick Berserk shirt man !
Berserk is literally the greatest of all time.
This appears to be a great product but there’s so many other great products out there too. Some of the basic sounds seem fantastic on this demo 🤘🏻
Wow! Talk about an all in one amp sim! Holy shit that's awesome
Ola, I knew you were someone to watch from the moment I found you on you tube demoing amp heads...and hear I am 3 years later watching you demo amp sims! Thank you my friend 🤘
Errorzone is Vein’s latest record! You definitely need to listen
Damn you Ola, i wasn't planning on spending $100 on a new plugin this morning, while i watch your videos and drink my coffee.
Putting all the impulses in there is awesome. Great review.
Just bought it and its sick!!!
gutpileman good to hear from someone that’s bought it. There are some really negative comments on here without actually trying it themselves.
7:19 As cool as some of those distorted tones were, in my opinion, that clean tone blows them away.
Is digital/software GAS for guitarists a thing yet?
After trying the Fortin Nameless/ Satan, every other plugin to me sounds meh.. The Emissary is still pretty good though and a few others.
Mercuriall plug ins are the best competition to Neural DSP. Both use artificial neural networks to emulate tube distortion. Ola has some really good videos on them.
Agreed. Looking to get darkglass next month
I regret buying the STL Will Putney pack instead of the Fortin NTS, money i'll never see again :(

Ha, then this is for you. Get your real drums tracked and mixing in sloppy guitar will come that much easier to you with Tonality.
Ola playing bass 🤘🏼
Can anyone hear that non stop ringing feedback??? its on every tone. its a high pitch ringing
sounds like tv static
Killer tones! I love that juicy, sludgy, aggressive sounds with bite.
I like the vastity of presets! Maybe at some point you will have to turn the gain down a bit I guess, too much distorsion makes the attack worse
Your STL Howard Benson Tonality demo sounds so much better than this. I'm actually relieved because I didn't want to have to buy this one too hahah
My favorite Putney works have to be his work with Thy Art is Murder, like fuck man! That’s brutal.

try overloud TH-U please??
i use amp 1 with a recto 2x12 IR and its killer
Very big gain on presets
I feel like after the 5150 the distorted tones started to get progressively worse. Untamed flub and high end fizziness. The cleans were good though.
I want to see you test out a Peavey JSX Head.
I heard there is a preset for the album "the youth to become" by stories. Anyone know which one that is?
How are you getting real time feedback while still being able to record it at full quality?
That evergreen is a freakin awesome album!
Having a hard time using this on reaper, lots of clipping, any help?
Will also did the latest Unearth album.
That fucking clean tone though!!
I have this plugin, i have a solar s 1.6 tuned in drop b but i don't have this sounds! Someone can explain me why this appear?

It’s still a great plugin but Tonehub has probably rendered it obsolete
This or Bias Fx2?
