what kinds of tones do you like, or don’t feel are well covered with what you have?OK, so I'm finally getting around to updating to 3.0, and having never owned any NDSP plugins... I could use some advice as to which to select as my freebie.
Neither "Plini" nor "Gojira" are references that mean much to me, and I'm not all that motivated by the amp models considering how many models and captures are already available. (But please convince me if either of these plugins' amps have something unique to offer.) The effects overlap somewhat and also overlap with the new native doubler and transpose (which is a good thing: NDSP keeping to their recently stated position on QC vs. plugin content.)
Some of the not-yet-compatible plugins are also tempting. I want the MkIIc+ suite because MkIIc+, obviously. And I'm tempted by Rabea because synth... even if it is monophonic. People have been talking up the reverbs in Morgan and Tone King... but neither are described as being springs, oddly enough. (Both say, "The Reverb covers everything from subtle ambience to almost infinite soundscapes", whatever that means.)
Sorry, I know this has been discussed to death for the last 500 pages or so, but I'm just tuning in now. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
JP IIC+ would be an instant selection for me. But the rest would be a tough call!OK, so I'm finally getting around to updating to 3.0, and having never owned any NDSP plugins... I could use some advice as to which to select as my freebie.

If you want one of those for instant access, plini all the way imo. It is very versatile and has some nice effects to it.Neither "Plini" nor "Gojira" are references that mean much to me,

What's weird about this whole thing is that we already have a QC JPIIc+ model, and then NDSP has a JP Plugin Suite that doesn't have JP2c+ amp model, but rather a plug-in specific amp model that probably sounds quite like a JPIIc+ but for some reason looks like a kitchen appliance. All in an effort to sound like a MkIIc+... which you can buy in a different, cheaper plugin package?JP IIC+ would be an instant selection for me. But the rest would be a tough call!
what kinds of tones do you like, or don’t feel are well covered with what you have?
Mostly older metal... mid-70's Sabbath, late 80's Queensryche, that kind of thing. Honestly, I don't have any issue getting amp tones I like, and I'm not a huge effects guy. Hence my confusion, maybe. I would like a much better spring reverb, and was hoping Morgan or Tone King might feature one, but I can't really tell from the ad copy (and I don't want to start downloading and auditioning all of these plugins if I can help it. Too time consuming.)@mbenigni - what are your favorite amps, effects, musical artists, etc.?
I could use some advice as to which to select as my freebie.
Very true. The Grano plug is amazing. You can also check my caps of the real amp out if ya nasty. Mongillo19 is the username as well.My NDSP expereinces are a bit old so I never tried a lot of the newer ones.
Think Petrucci may have been the first big one I missed out on.
That said, this is the greatest thing Neural has ever done and will ever do.
Full stop.
I’d say maybe consider Asato or Henson. Asato has a great space echo style delay, the Shiva is one of the better models of that amp and there’s some nicer lighter stuff. Henson has a killer 2204 that’ll do those late 70’s/80’s tones. The Matchless in that one is great too.Mostly older metal... mid-70's Sabbath, late 80's Queensryche, that kind of thing.

This is helpful information. 2204 and the Jose Mod are attractive, as is a Space Echo... Of course after a bit of soul-searching, I realize I'm going to wind up grabbing one of the two that are already compatible. Instant gratification is hard to resist at $0.00.

If you want something heavier, Nameless is an awesome jose modded Marshall. It excels for really high gain but it can do way softer stuff too when using the low input and disengaging the diode clipping.
I find Gojira GREAT but IMO EVH amps are a bit vanilla when it comes to high gain. I prefer its pitch/octave/RAT fx to Plini though.
So which one did you getGotta say, plugin selection and activation (on both QC and PC) were completely seamless and incredibly fast.
Gojira.
Gojira.
