I just purchased the Cory Wong plug in and I can see the amps, and everything looks fine, but as far as i can tell, the plug in is not affecting my guitar tone. I try different presets but no change in tone. All I hear is my normal clean guitar tone without processing.

God morning! Can you tell us a little more about your setup? Like what DAW, how your routing is set, etc. If you put another plugin in the same exact spot, is it working? Does the standalone Cory Wong work?

I got it to work, I had to change input to asio in the plug in. I believe it is running through DAW, how can I get it to stand alone? Thanks for your help.

The standalone should be a separate application that runs outside of the DAW environment. You can most likely find it in your recently installed programs, desktop shortcuts, or the specific location you installed the Neural plugins in.
