@JohnMayer @NeuralDSP Very cool!

This video was taken the day I played through the first build of the @NeuralDSP 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.

@chesscom I have mastered the Queen sacrifice

describe how good you are at chess without saying your rating 👇

@TakeTakeTakeApp Wow

@mornings0da When you come up with a 2 move sequence, ask yourself what happens if you play the second move first

Below is my working list of Danyaisms. My fav and most used is one-move-itis. Please reply with any I forgot •one-move-itis •juicy square •Russian school boy •[repeating phrases for emphasis] •paper tiger •rolling out the red carpet (for the pawn) •Frankfurt airport

@mornings0da Make some “luft” for the king (“air” in German)

@mornings0da When you see a good move look for a better one. That’s my favorite one and the one I rely on the most in chess, but also find it applicable to life ♥️♟️

As a tribute to @GmNaroditsky aka “The Prophet,” I’m going to make a video compilation of all the times he accurately predicted his opponents future moves. An idea I’ve had for a while bc it’s so amazing to witness & now is the time to make it so others can enjoy it too ♥️

Heartbreaking. Daniel taught me so much. I’ve watched all his speedrun videos multiple times over this is unbelievable. Countless others learned so much from him & loved how he taught & spoke about not just the game of chess but about life. Thank you for everything Danya ♥️♥️♥️

Incredible night at @coachella sitting in with @Zedd for a couple of tunes. “What a night!” Massive crowd, absolutely locked with his every musical move, incredible crew, just a really great experience from rehearsal to soundcheck to show. Thanks Zedd for the opportunity to feel that energy. I’m inspired. ⚡️
