Mesa MKIIC+ Plugin by Neural DSP - Metallica Tones

A follow up video from my initial impressions I did a few months back. It's a fantastic plugin with some really true to sound dynamics and feel. Anyone wanting the presets I made for the video they're just below under Neural DSP Presets.

Neural DSP Presets

To use the presets, find the location where your existing presets are stored and add them to your user preset folder. Not sure about PC but for Mac it's - Mac HD, Library, Audio, Presets, Neural DSP, Mesa Boogie, User
As for the Metallica IR's, find a home for them in a folder somewhere.
Open the app and go into speaker/mic setup, load one of the IR's so the plugin can learn the pathway. Close the app and when you re-open it all the presets should be there to use.
If you need to load the IR's individually then add them to the RH slot. The Harvester IR is used for Black RHY & Lead, Harvester and Seattle. Blackened IR is used for Blackened and AFJA Solo. One IR for Crunch Berry & San Diego. Orion and Puppets use Puppets IR and Shortest Straw uses that IR.
All the levels and mic values will stay the same. After you load the IR's you'll have to save the presets again.
Hope that helps

Boss Katana Presets
To install them on your katana mkii, the easiest way is to drag the downloaded files to your desktop.
Open up the tone studio with your katana connected and go to the top right corner and click the down arrow. Locate your file and it'll bring it into your library where you can drag them across to the katana :)

Two-Notes Torpedo Captor X Presets (Sounds like my 1936v 2x12 & SM57) The preset I use 99% of the time is called - Marshall 4x12 V30

Your tones are by far the best on the internet, you alone are going to make me buy an audio interface, dust off my guitars, and get these tones, so I can just jam out like a kid in my room lol.

Is it me or the sound of Metallica has never been topped

[mathewpybus]

It never ceases to amaze me just how accurate your ears are! I love applying the little tips and tricks you employ in my own hunt on dialling killer tones but man I can never get as close as you do when it comes to replicating an albums tonal qualities you really do an amazing job!

[danieljoseverde]

Wow, Orion and Shortest Straw sound incredible

[SlymuadDib]

You achieved total mastery of your instrument. The way you make it "sing" is stupendous. From a 45 years experienced guitarist. Hat off M Chopper.

[Cryptic----]

You're a damn wizard when it comes to building tones

[JamieSlays]

I love this so much. Well done again mate

[rayknox]

I have been trying to get these tones for days and you did it!!! You have a great ear for these tones.

[JaymzTW]

Sharing your work for free man it's truly amazing. Thank you so much for your videos!!

[GarryParker]

Incredible! Thanks so much. Those tones really nail it. As I am lucky enough to own this plugin, a Marshall and a Katana I've really been getting a lot from this channel recently!
I really like this plugin, I've been double tracking with the Fortin Nameless on one side and the Mesa on the other hand it sounds killer.

[Cthulhu_Awaken]

Man those tones have definitely massively improved since your last video about this plugin. When I'll get an interface, I think I'm going to get it too! 🤘🏻

[troyjenkins]

I have been itching to get this plug-in since it was released. Just waiting for it to go on sale. I got the SLO-100 right away and it went on sale for half price a few months or so later. I love Mesa tones and this one seems to deliver in spades. You have it dialed in so perfect. Great demo.

[prodbykami]

Blackened is spot one, thats crazy how the tone is emulated

[tonmonkey]

My friend with your insane ear for recreating tones you could be the most downloaded IR creator ever.

[leosun]

Great job, Lamb- another cool video, as always.👍🏻🤘🏻

[Jonw]

Sounds amazing, I don''t have Neural DSP plugin, but I'm sure at some point I will. Cheers for sharing your awesome presets. I'm sure your busy with a lot of other stuff going on but a Dream Theater/Petrucci video similar to this would be awesome if you are a fan of that tone. You have a great ear for this stuff.

More of Boss Katana please! :) btw great video

[jaybesuscrust]

These are awesome Chopper! Keep her lit. 🤘

[rockabrilia]

Love it! Love your collection of Jackson!
