Jesse uses Neural DSP's Archetype Plini for clean tones live and in studio.

My other band, Ghost Atlas, that record (the 2024 album Dust Of The Human Shape) is littered with Plini presets that we barely changed because it sounds so good. So yeah, Plini should probably get a credit for everything I've done last year.
