Another timeless classic
 
I know Mansoor is know for recording with Pod in the past, but was/is he a Helix user? Because that "Glitch pedal" is straight up HX's Glitch Delay.

As usual with recent NDSP releases, it looks like a very fine plugin, but pretty much all of these sounds are already available elsewhere.
 
This just makes me think of the last time I got "got" by Misha Mansoor.

It's defunct now, but Joey Sturgis Tones made a signature Misha Toneforge plugin many years ago that was a steaming hot pile of poop. Definitely in the bottom three of plugins I've ever purchased.
 
Glitch is kind of interesting. But Helix Native has an exceptional glitch delay effect, and many ways to fuck up and stutter your sound.

The rest of the effects aren't lighting my pants on fire.

The post delay should really say 'Designed By TC Electronic' on it lmao.

I know it is minor, but the amp graphics are a significant downgrade from other archetype plugins. In fact, I don't really like the aesthetic of this plugin at all.
 
Doesn't even look like proper PBR textures lol

Looks like slightly weathered powder-coated steel / anodized aluminum, i really dig that look.

Man, i wish amp manufacturers were bolder with their design choices.

Is this like 5150 # 297 they've added to the QC world?
If we’re counting, it’s definitely still less 5150’s than Fractal. I think too many people have claimed amps they’ve modelled are 5150’s which are actually something else (like Plini/Abasi etc) and the myth gets repeated until it’s true. If there’s a 5150II that’d be fairly worthwhile IMO.
 
Looks pretty good to me. They sure know how to market their stuff and if we’re being honest, I’d imagine a lot of QC users overlap with that whole Misha and Nolly audience.

That's just it. It's repackaged Nolly - "modded" British amp, custom 5150, similar effects - with a couple of novelty effects that people will use one or two times to somehow make this seem different.
