Neural DSP Archetype: Tim Henson

[Kaura]

Just dropped today. Has anyone tried it yet? I gave it a quick spin and it sounds pretty good.

We are talking about Jim Henson in the "fm9???" thread. Keep up.

A lot of people, I've seen it requested at least a thousand times. This plug-in will probably sell like crazy, the dude's got a ton of fans.That being said, Tim Henson's tone sucks and it seems unnecessary for him to have his own plug-in - from a monetary standpoint it makes total sense though.

It has some cool features so I might try it sometime but so far the Soldano SLO plugin has been the only NeuralDSP plugin that I've been interested in buying. Still might get the SLO if it's on sale during Black Friday or Christmas.

Well, fuck you guys, lol.

From what I see online Tim to kids starting guitar nowadays is what Alexi Laiho, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Etc was to us growing up. I’d be interested to know how well it sells, ignoring how Neural are saturating their own market.

Really? I recall the dudes you mention having great tone.

Well... Maybe not Laiho

Worth it for the vocoder/multivoice section alone. Really beats setting up the sidechain to the midi track and tweaking a vocoder

You wouldn’t believe how many kids are on Instagram and Reddit butchering this guy’s riffs when they can’t even play AC/DC.

Those clean amps sound great. But the distortions sound... ew.

I like when a product delivers exactly what advertises. Looks like it can really nail Tim Henson's tone

Not surprised to see this happen as this guy is definitely doing a LOT to get more and more kids into guitar/guitar music.

Lots of comments in his YouTube videos are people saying they came from other videos/songs that were either remixes/collabs, somewhat related pop, or just recommended by the algo. So their fan base is pretty diverse/not just a bunch of metal kids.

I really like some Polyphia stuff. They’ve gotten prett damn cringey (which is likely where most of the hate comes from, and understandably) but their skills are pretty fucking great.

I like the tones/songs on Muse and the ones on Renaissance are fine—fits the style imo. The Most Hated…mehhh.

With all that said I really have no desire to buy this plugin. It’s about 4 years late to catch my interest. I will say I dig the plug-in’s aesthetics.

 

[wakjob]

If it doesn't have a "Twink" preset...I'm out!

P.S. I really dig Polyphia, and have been following them since they hit the scene.

1. Tim Henson is an excellent guitar player
2. The clean tones and effects on this probably sound great
3. It will sell like hot cakes because he’s a huge name now
4. Every fiber of my being wants to hate the motherfucker

 

[KnightBrolaire]

this shit seems pretty redundant with abasi, nolly and cory wong suites tbh. The only really novel thing is the multi pitch shifter, and that's not worth the money for me personally.
I'm not a fan of Polyphia/their music (except for 40 oz, that song is catchy as all hell and fun to play) but the dudes can play. It's too bad they've leaned into that whole trap beat IG friendly wankery though.

Does Tim have bad tone, or does he have tone that doesn't work for the most brutal death metal?
