This video was taken the day I played through the first build of the Neural DSP Archetype JM X plugin. We’d set up my amp rig in the live room and were switching between the rig and the plugin. I threw every test at it; does turning the volume knob to 5 create a natural response in tone? It did. Does a single note that’s held die out without a noise gate eating it or the “math” just giving up? It did. Do two notes bent at once with distortion on create natural harmonic overtones exactly like the amps in the room? They did, exactly. I had the engineer switch between signals without my knowing. “That’s the amps,” I’d guess. “Plugin,” the engineer would say, several times. It had fooled me. Neural DSP had done it. It wasn’t just a faithful recreation of my sound - it was the first plugin I’d ever heard that proved that digital modeling could create a digital emulation with zero compromises. I’d like to say that we went back and forth countless times, making tweaks until it was right, but the truth is that they pretty much nailed it on the first try. Only a few EQ changes and some changes to a couple of the effects pedals were needed. The thousands of hours of creation came to fruition yesterday when the plugin was released, and it’s been a joy to see and hear players putting this software to the test and being as impressed as I was in this video. Thank you to every guitar player who created such clever and great sounding presets and for spreading the word. I can’t wait to hear all the new music that’s created with this plugin. Getting my sound is just the beginning of what it can do, and I can’t wait to hear what musicians create with it.

When ac sent me an incredible track she was working on called “(Isn’t It) Obvious” and asked if I’d be a part of it, I knew it would be fun to play on. What I didn’t see coming, however, was how open-minded she’d be when it came to a guitar solo. Guitars on pop songs usually get approached pretty conservatively, but Alessia sat across from me and gave me so much creative freedom that I ended up playing things I never have before. She kept encouraging me to explore further, and the result is a really striking musical moment, and an exceptional pop song with a futuristic bent… and that’s what it’s all about. Give the song a listen, and enjoy the videos of what I really sound like when I’m trying to “land a new trick.” Thanks Alessia for the push to go further. You’re a true artist. ♥️

After years in the making, It’s finally here - my Neural DSP Archetype X plugin. It sounds and feels exactly like my rig on its best day, with expert mic placement and engineering. I threw everything I had at this project, knowing that you wouldn’t be reading this unless we got it right. And thanks to the brilliant minds at Neural DSP , I can say we’ve created a plugin that perfectly recreates the sound and experience of playing tube amplifiers, as well as effects pedals and outboard gear. And now you can play it too. Head to for more.

“Acoustic guitars are the great equalizer of ideas. If your idea works on an acoustic guitar, you can change the world. There is no stage too big for music played on an acoustic guitar.” ⁃ John Mayer Over the past few years, Ernie Ball has been working closely with John to reimagine what an acoustic guitar string could sound like. The result is something we’re incredibly proud to share: Earthwood Bell Bronze.

File under “whatever it takes”: this shipping crate stashed behind some road cases in the loading dock of Sphere houses a couple of my guitar amps that are mic’d up and being heard with the rest of Dead & Company. If you happen to be walking through, you’ve got no choice but to hear it! Bonus points if you can name the song I’m playing.
