NDSP Plugin Teaser SOON (Archetype Mateus Asato)

My best guess is the king awaited Archetype: Devin Townsend, buuuuut it's natively an Archetype X version, so it'll be ready for porting as soon as they get that mythical firmware update out there.

In fact, I think all plugins will show a QC in the graphics going forward.
 
Joke aside, they now sell, what? 7 different plugins covering the exact same tone types?

People scoffed at the Tom Morello Archetype, but hell, at least it was trying something different.

All the jokes are dead on, but to be fair to NDSP....that's their demographic. Heck, that's the demographic for most "new" guitar-based music.

They have traditional rock offerings with the Soldano, Fortin Cali and Mesa Mark IIC suites, but who would be the personality they could base an Archetype on that'd be relevant to modern audiences?

Tbh id prefer the plugins of amps vs people

I definitely accept that I’m out of touch with guys like Plini, Henson, Asato and even Wong to a degree (although I’d heard of him already).

It’s a pretty specific niche they are going for and just because I’m too out of touch with it, I get why they’re going after that crowd.

Given they’ve done Petrucci and Morello, I still hope they’d cater to guys I like - Cantrell, Adam Jones, DeLeo, Billy Corgan, even Wes Borland/Korn/Linkin Park/Deftones or Mastodon would probably be more in line in that generation. No idea of the younger instagram/tiktok kids would give a flying fuck about those though.
 
To be fair, Mateus is a legit touring pro. He's been in Bruno Mars' band for a few years at this point and been a sideman for other singers like Tori Kelly, etc. He's not just an "internet guy", but that definitely made people notice him.

Yeah, wasn't trying to be an asshole. Mateus definitely has accolades... but so do many other acomplisehd session musicians. I don't think i've ever heard a piece of music from him other than Instagram snippets.
 
I'd buy the fuck out of a Cantrell or DeLeo plugin, ngl.

Me too, but I don't know how you could boil all of the greatness of DeLeo to three amps and some pedals. The presets on that would have to be primo to represent the fullness of his tonal spectrum.

Cantrell represents a much narrower spectrum, but I don't think any one amp will give you the whole shebang for most of his studio tones. He's the king of stacking different flavors to create rich layers of crunch tone.

Having access to some of his cab's, and gear he digs generally would be fucking rad. Same with AJ too tbh, just hearing and being able to play through (a model of) their own specific rig is pretty fucking cool. As good as the STL stuff is, I think Neural just do the artist packs a LITTLE better. Definitely all in my head but I think a (accurate/not kemper) machine learned sampling of their actual gear is very cool.

Jones would also be tough to nail down - not THAT many amps, at least until recently, but the blend is constantly changing. On the flip side, thats something that could be handled very elegantly if done right in a plugin - its something that digital can do much better and more easily than analog and plugins should try and make these complex chains accessible to people with minimal fuss.

Oh hell yeah.

DeLeo would be sweet:
  • Demeter TGP-3 rack preamp into VHT power amp into Marshall 4x12's with V30's
  • Vox AC30 with Alnico Blues
  • Rocktron Intellifex with the multi-delay/chorus/reverb
  • Maybe some kind of old tiny combo amp from the 60's?
Although Richard Patrick from Filter said that Dean basically recorded everything in the 2000's with Amp Farm lol

Cantrell would be awesome for his signature amp and stuff, but what would have been even cooler is if they could get their hands on the old Snorkler amp.
