Introduction

This video demonstrates how to recreate the guitar tones of five popular bands (Bilmuri, Knox, The Band Camino, Nightly, and LANY) using neural DSP plugins. The creator provides free presets and explains the process for each band's signature sound.

Key Takeaways

1. Bilmuri's Detuned Tone: Achieved through heavy distortion, low tuning, and a "Fatso" pedal for octave shifting. A single-coil pickup (like on a Fender Stratocaster) is recommended for a jangly tone.
2. Knox's "Sneakers" Tone: Uses the Cory Wong amp from Neural DSP, a compressor pedal for a compressed and plucky sound, and a tube screamer for added drive. An 80s-style chorus and slapback delay are also included.
3. The Band Camino's "Daphne Blue" Rhythm Tone: Requires a humbucker pickup (like on a Gibson Les Paul) due to its high gain. Key elements include a chorus/phaser effect and EQ shaping to reduce harsh highs and enhance mids.
4. The Band Camino's "Daphne Blue" Solo Tone: Similar to the rhythm tone, but with added octave down effect, increased gain and mids, a ribbon microphone for warmth, and more prominent reverb and delay.
5. LANY's "Sugar and Cinnamon" Tone: Uses the Tone King amp, emphasizing its edge-of-breakup quality. A compressor thickens the guitar tone, and a spring reverb creates a lap steel/pedal steel feel. Chorus and a delay further shape the sound.
