You know Nik, you can stop putting "metal guitarist" in your titles. The internet knows who you are. You made it, my dude. You're internet famous. Rejoice
Same. Popped Fortitude in my car today after not listening to it in forever and this video comes out. Universe I'm picking up what you're throwing down. ;) Boing, boing, boing
Honestly hearing you experiment with the sounds and nailing the sounds of multiple bands, I'd Honestly pay you to make a experimental solo album with just a guitar.
Man, this plugin is so good! I just did a playthrough of our song "Die For Me" from Alleviate with it, this is one of my favorite plugins by Neural DSP so far! 🙌
@@francisvonfilth8867 just the stock ones! I have no problem with it at all tbh! What you could try is to make it less muddy using the od pedal and try around with mic placement! 😊 also, you could try to put the master volume lower and get the loudness back with the level knob!
@@francisvonfilth8867 what guitar do you use? Cause mine are stock pickups as well! :) And tbh, i must say that it also sounds this good cause our clean vocalist Timo, who is also our engineer is super good!! But when i try the plugin at home in my sessions it also sounds good :)
Yeah I love it so much! I actually wrote an entire full length album using the Odin and this plugin for the tone, and my guitar player (who's also the lead vocalist of my main project) liked it so much he wants to track live guitar for me now. It just sounds so huge in the mix. Gojira is one of my favorites for that reason!
The "Default" Gojira sound ..gave me the best Iron Maiden 's guitar sound that I could have imagined.. This is one of the best Archetypes, really!! And either for ambient music, totally!
Been using this plugin for a good number of months like 3 or 4 and I love it. As I am back off at university for my final year and not a music student I did not have to want to take my amp with me and this plugin does it all for me. Pitch down with the wow pedal works great with single notes but chords not so much, like I tried your basic g chord pitched down 6 semitones it sounds just wrong.
Holy God dude, at the beginning of this video ur hair looks u made the top and front look like a big surfboard jumping off ur head! 🤣 I have literally sat here and rewound the first little bit of this video and laughed until I'm literally nauseous. I really fucking need that man, so thank u, genuinely.
I just downloaded the free trial yesterday and was wondering if you were going to do a video on this after I saw your Tim Henson video. I love that you can use this as a standalone app
That intro is hella funny. I have dialed in quiet a few spot on tones with my Helix from archetype IR's Omfg lmao, get you an award Nik, for that mouth noise gate fuzz
I was going to purchase this plugin next weekend, but saw this video and decided to purchase now (via your link). Even though I play bass, I'll support you haha
Depends on what album you're talking about, I agree they have great tones but their tone is really straightforward, probably an emp emulating a 5150 or that kind of sound with some IRs that go well together with that amp (Google's your friend for finding that), a drive pedal before that on the signal chain (the Dr. Drive from Audiority is amazing, it emulates the Horizon Precision Drive pedal and is also completely free. Or one that emulates a Tube Screamer, can't really go wrong with that), some EQ and you should already be pretty close to their tone. If you want a tone closer to their more recent albums go for more mids, if you want their older tones it's closer to the scooped metal sound™. I can get really close to the What The Dead Men Say tone using only free plugins, Dr. Drive pedal, STL Emissary amp and NadIR to load the IRs.
@@frpcastro I use custom 5150 amp sim from BIAS FX 2 and IRs from Ownhammer (Mesa V30/H30 mostl which fits the 5150 or Mark III Stealth) It's not that i'm unhappy with my tone, but i feel i miss sth. (attack or some good low cut) I suck at EQ, i just don't get it. I will try the Horizon drive pedal you mentioned. Btw is there a free Horizon Gate pedal plugin out there? Cause this noisegate does a good job. I tried it in Helix and removes all the hiss/noise like nth else i tried. ps. I love their Vengeance Falls album sound. Oh and anth involved 6string songs cause i don't own a 7string guitar. All albums have some songs on 6string, for example Amongst the Shadows and the stones or Feast of Fire.
@@SuRGeoNofDeaTH. the drive pedal I recommended has a gate in the plug-in as well so try it out. About EQing, yeah, it takes some time to learn what frequencies do what and how to play with them, but just keep at it until you get the hang of what frequencies your tone and guitar need adjusting. One solid tip I can give you is that, like anything else in the chain, order matters very much, EQ and drive (in that order) should be the first elements in any signal chain. Also, you mentioned low end being a problem, try searching for high and low pass filters and how they help a lot in shaping some tone. A great free EQ plugin is the TDR Nova, so try that out as well
@@frpcastro Thx for all your suggestions mate. I have some EQ plugins like Fabfilter etc. But i struggle to get a decent low cut tone to be actually happy (although i'm never completely happy with my sound) So, in signal chain you recommend EQ-HorizonDrive-Amp-IR for example?
anyone else having like a high frequency overtone on top of this plug in the gate will get rid of it but then it just lays over the sound of the guitar when playing.. ive tried multiple guitars and everything else i can think of but nothing gets rid of it ... its like almost unusable for me. anyone know how to get rid of it..
Nik, check the preset named Agony, I think it's perfect! I don't remember the author, but this preset is the first in the list of one of them. P.S. Hello from Ukraine, sorry for my English)
Nik, hope u can do a reaction video for : Angel Vivaldi/ Andy James - Wave of Synergy BERNTH - Dopamine both sound amazing. Also ty for the scales and modes vids, helped me a lot.
“Loathe! I didn’t expect that, let’s pick his rhythm. Now unfortunately I don’t have a 13 string guitar that’s tuned down to like drop Omegle”, Fucking dead😂
*Smash like for whale noises*
And your contact to aliens secured..jajaajajja LOL!
You are so funny! Thabks for this great and funny videos Nik!!
is the “whale noises” and actual song or just improvised, and if so what’s it called
floating whales
Oouuuuuuoooo!

I guess it's better for the algorithm
Yes but we've reached the point where people look up Nik Nocturnal now and not metal guitarist.
"me tries Archetype: Gojira"
I do it because I'm actually a professional tiktok reactor
Metal Guitarist Doesn't Care, STFU.
Don’t do the Gojira scrape at me without consent ever again
I've been listening to so much Gojira recently, this came at the right time lmao
Me too.
100% man
Me too man, I listened to their first album and that's a fuckin masterpiece
Same but I prefer clone, love, and space time

Nik is the guy you watch because he's funny, and then he'll remind you he's an amazing guitarist and it blows your mind.
I used it a lot lately. Never disappoints just like Gojira. I fucking hope that Meshuggah will do their plugin in some time...
The Fortin Nameless suite is based on the Fortin Meshuggah amp 🤘🤘
@@thomasdinkelspiel1098 daym, thanks for the tip man!
This plug-in has been amazing for my tone, would definitely recommend to all hard rock and metal guitarists

The real hidden gems are Greg's presets (guitarist from Car Bomb.) There are some CRAZY leads, but there are some really deep rhythm tones too.
0:17 Really surprised by that tone! Sounds pretty dope.🤘

I’ve tried so many archetypes and none of them have smashed like the Gojira one. I love it
I did the 14 day trial of this. So much fun. I gotta cop this again
The "Default" Gojira sound ..gave me the best Iron Maiden 's guitar sound that I could have imagined..
This is one of the best Archetypes, really!!
And either for ambient music, totally!
"*lick noise* thats how u be gojira" but also spiritbox
That pedal... You can defo hear it straight away on Gojira - 'Stranded' 👌
"but i dont have a 30 string guitar tuned all the way down to drop,..omegle" lol
By far my favorite video! Awesome bro! I got this plugin a few months ago and I’m totally blown away with the presets alone. Ready to go!
Loving the archetype series you’re doing dude
YESSSSS!
“Dirt...just dirt”*tries it out* “OHHH”
Thank you for the tuning in the description! Was wondering what it was..
Neural DSP and this Archetype series keeps getting better and better man. Can't wait to see what they do next
Very convenient timing. I’m buying it this week when my interface gets here. 🤘😎
Which interfece you going with?

Vampire Nik isn't real he can't hurt you
Vampire Nik: 2:00
0:19 that's how Fortitude would sound if it was released in the same era as From Mars to Sirius.
Your fear with the whammy pedal was basically my entire first year of guitar with anything
Nasty pick scrapes at the ready.

2:28 Cthulhu has been summoned!
at 3:10 you can almost hear the unholy confessions riff
You are incredibly humble for how incredibly talented you are. It's pretty cool!
2:26 do a fire alarm cover.
If he doesn’t play the Silvera riff, I’ll be sad
I downloaded it like 2 days ago
I’m learning how to play guitar and this plugging is really nice and easy to understand for a beginner
Hope you're still riffing friend
Who else likes Fortitude a lot? I do! 🤘🤘
the chant is pretty good
the rest of the album too
Whoa whoa hey...
Hold on.
The best and only use of the whammy pedal
hell yeah jamming this one since it dropped ... when u try to cover gojira with the JD RHYTM3 oh god it sounds absolutely the same
4:46 I see you found the Explosions in the Sky setting.
3:38 sounds like korn's tone

"Sort of like a hive with bees"
Wait what's a bee?
"bzz bzz bzz bzz"
Ohhh right right right
Always enjoy ya´playing Nik Thanks fo showing us this hyped Gojira, and it is REALLY guud,... Love Cheers
whats that chord progression at 1:45 ?
You should play some Gojira covers with this plugin, it's awesome!
Honestly surprised you hadn’t tried this yet. Distant uses this for all 3 of their guitar tones
The hive of bees is how it generate the distortion.
Made a mistake of having my headphones in with the volume up pretty loud with the whammy
this is the plug in that i use, got it a few months back when every plug in was half off, it was so worth it
3:07 is it a song?
Hand down the best sounding amp sim i’ve ever used. Crazy how good it is.
I just downloaded the free trial yesterday and was wondering if you were going to do a video on this after I saw your Tim Henson video. I love that you can use this as a standalone app
This plugin has been the absolute best I have been using it for months after using so many other plugins! This one is a bang for your buck!
0:17 Joe Duplantier, is that you?
That intro is hella funny. I have dialed in quiet a few spot on tones with my Helix from archetype IR's
Omfg lmao, get you an award Nik, for that mouth noise gate fuzz
This is my favorite amp sim. Great for heavy stuff but it's got range too
“I’m all about just existing through time.” LOL
This has been my go to tone for ages
One of my favourite reviews ever mate, keep it up!
Not sure why the video didn't end at 0:04, not much else explaining necessary :p
Does anyone know what the song at 3:49 is? Feel like I've heard that somewhere.
Тоже хотелось бы узнать
Not gonna lie, this sounds really good.
Thanks for doing this I'm kinda a beginner with plug ins and playing through the computer so this was a perfect demonstration
I was going to purchase this plugin next weekend, but saw this video and decided to purchase now (via your link). Even though I play bass, I'll support you haha
3:07 ENGAGE KOREKID
Man I hope there will be a Syn Gates archetype

Imagine if the default tone for every plugin was just all the knobs at 0
That would be hilarious
I was scrolling and misread the title. I thought it said "metal guitarist tries Archspire"
"30-stringed guitar tuned down to drop-Omegle"
@ 4:46 in - that effect is DOPE

@@williamchristensen7354 LIKE ARROWS IN THE SKYYYYYYY
I CANT BELIEVE MYYY EEEEEEYYES
I now feel confident I can sound just like Car Bomb, without the talent.
seeing videos like this really makes me regret choosing the drums over the guitar as a wee lad.
I like how the in the description it says “tuning: whales”. Lmao, I think it’s D standard. That’s Gojira’s most famous tuning along with some drop C.
Aw man, I'll think of that if I ever want to summon whales again

Awesome video bro this will be my next buy
Possibly the most aggressive sounding amp sim out there. Even more so than the Fortin NTS plug-in!
This is Awesome bro this plugin was Great
6:33 is that a firefly reference?
1:47 wonderwall??!? 😳
Orbit Culture - Shaman EP is out, would love to see your reaction!
I'd spend hours lost in that Silvera solo preset!
If only I had a computer...
I use this amp as my main distortion tone for streams it's pretty sick
I really liked Nollys 'stuck in 79' preset, tis very fun
love these sponsored videos because i can listen to some cool riffs lol
Only after this video i actualy get this plugin
