“I’m just not gonna tell you which ones they are, and I don’t think you’ll know”: John Mayer says he has already used his signature Neural DSP plugin on record – but on which songs?

John Mayer takes a solo on his signature PRS Silver Sky at the 2025 Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival.

They already had John Petrucci, Tim Henson, Cory Wong, Tom Morello, Gojira among others on the books. Neural DSP’s Archetype guitar plugin game was strong.

But then in December last year, the Archetype series dropped the motherlode with John Mayer, all his über-boutique tube amps, the pedals and his custom Gravity Tank right there in the box, a signature plugin suite for the ages.
