Black Friday Sale: 50% Off All Plugins

Archetype: Petrucci X is part of Neural DSP’s highly anticipated Black Friday sale, running now through December 4, 2024. This limited-time offer gives users 50% off the regular price of every Neural DSP plugin, including the newly launched “X” series.

These include Archetype: Nolly X — the purest distillation of the legendary Nolly’s custom-modded guitar amp collection, captured with 100% accuracy; Soldano SLO-100 X — the legendary amplifier that originated American high-gain tone; and Parallax X — the plugin with everything needed to design the ultimate bass sound, and more.

“This Black Friday sale is the perfect opportunity for our loyal users to expand and upgrade their plugin collections, taking full advantage of our most advanced offerings yet. At the same time, it’s an invitation to new creators to discover Neural DSP’s unmatched precision and innovation in sound modeling,” says Douglas Castro, CEO of Neural DSP Technologies.

The Black Friday sale includes Neural DSP’s entire plugin catalog, with recent updates enhancing functionality and performance across the board. Choose from an array of foundational plugin collaborations with exceptional and unique world-class guitarists, such as Archetype: Mateus Asato, the Brazilian born virtuoso whose session credits read like a who’s who of contemporary and classic artists; and Archetype: Rabea Massaad, whose recent post-rock outfit, Vower, are set to top the alternative music charts.

Then there’s the amplifier plugins, pitch-perfect modeling without parallel. Holiday shoppers can pick classics like the Morgan Amps Suite of guitar plugins and the Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ plugin, both sonic milestone markers in the history of the guitar amplifier.

Then there are the “X” factors — more Neural DSP plugins that have been further refined and taken to the next level. There’s Archetype: Cory Wong X, designed around his famously wide variety of perfect clean and edge-of-break-up tones; Archetype: Plini X, a truly versatile plugin elegantly developed with the artist who inspired it; and Archetype: Gojira X, which brilliantly captures the unique musical heart and feel of Gojira guitar genius Joe Duplantier.

Archetype: Plini X and Archetype: Gojira X are now compatible with Neural DSP's acclaimed Quad Cortex, the world's most powerful floorboard amp modeler. Additional plugins are expected to gain compatibility soon.
