Help me land on just 1 plug in before the end of black friday? For use with single coils for blues/ambient/p&w styles - plini, wong, or even gojira are in my mind? (I can’t go all 3 sadly). Any thoughts? (the cor 3.3.0 changed things up for me a bit with the dumble and other things which I really like). It’s primary use (if not only use) would be on the QC:)
it’s tough, man- these are always like answering “should I get black licorice, red licorice or a hotdog?” It’s so dependent on personal needs and rig setup.
That said, Wong is fantastic at cleans and has the cool DI/console amp. But the other 2 most notable devices are now on the QC for free.
Plini can pretty much do anything, but same can be said for Gojira (though it excels at hi-gain)
Have you been able to use the free trial versions on computer?
I have tried them all - but find it hard to pick 1! Especially for the QC usage where things like the cloud downloads add an additional element as I am likely to draw heavily on that too! I dont think Ill use them as PC based plug ins. ![]()
I built up my library by buying a couple each Black Friday. Most of them don’t really have any devices the QC can’t replicate for the most part anyway. Just slightly different flavors. Grab one now and another when the next sale comes around, eventually you’ll have a good assortment
Some of those that aren’t ported yet though- might be worth considering too. Some really cool stuff in Petrucci and Mansoor (just to make it harder on ya)
Neural typically does two of these types of 50% off sales each year, the Black Friday sale and a separate one in either April or May.
If you need a sole recommendation, I would choose Plini X. It’s one of the best all-around plug-ins. The crunch amp in that one is ![]()
Thanks for the advise!! Yeah I’m super keen on some of the none ported stuff, looks really great!
Thank you. That’s really helpful!!
