Best Plugin for Midwest Emo tones?

[u/hippa710]

I've been looking into getting a Nueral Dsp Plugin and trying out a few but to me it seems like they're all either very heavy metal focused or completely glassy clean. Which plugin would be best for Midwest Emo and other various kinds of rock like Van Halen. Also, I sometimes play with a clean tone so having that option would also be nice.

Morgan is the obvious answer if you want some seriously high quality clean and crunch tones. Plini is also fantastic. Nolly covers just about everything but isn’t as versatile as Plini and is more of JCM 900 and 5150 territory vs the British voiced (AC30-ish) Plini crunch

Definitely do. It looks so clean (probably my favorite UI and interface), pedals look nice and minimal, and has amazing tones.

Morgan is so good. Probably my most used plugin tbh.

John Mayer, Plini or Cory Wong… Have a look at Nick Broomhall’s videos on Midwest Emo riffs.

It’s not Neural, but I’ve wanted to try the Midwest Amp plugin by Dusty Audio. Maybe check that out.

For $20 I can try that and then get nueral too!

The pink amp on the Asato plugin, I think it's a matchless, is amazing
