[@ginoames]

Rabea is such an ace of a player. Mad chops and always has amazing tone.

[@djw8133]

Sunshine Bottom?!

[@benink5690]

Slamming legato here too

[@philfyphil]

@@spacejockey4746 Answer = yes. Next?

[@blastofo]

His talent is supreme, but i'd like to see him in a real full time touring band with a talented singer and see him get real artistic success.

[@AnkurWow]

Rabea used to seem intimidated when he first started doing Anderton's videos some years ago (but still rocked it), and now he's so comfortable and you can see how much the Captain respects and admires Rabea and his playing. It's lovely to see.

[@steveschulz3647]

Meanwhile every time I see Rob he seems a little more broken than before. Not a dig or an insult, I’m actually worried about him. Just looks sick to me.

[@valebliz]

@@steveschulz3647 agreed

[@ADK_MSE]

@@steveschulz3647 I also dont unfortunately see robs playing ever evolving, same old. Rabeas playing has come on leaps and bounds.

[@markconger8049]

So cool to watch Rabea’s rise. Well deserved.

[@gusviera3905]

It's cool to see mates get together again. And the fact that Bea just also happens to be a shred monster is an added bonus. Wonderful job, guys. Cheers from across the pond.

[@DavidRodriguez-mp9nh]

Rabea is AWESOME!! Thank you for the interview and rig runthru.

[@chrismurphy128]

Agreed 100%, he really is an artist in creating sound. Great man. 🥰

[@MrShadow9602]

Always a pleasure to hear Bea play anything. Almost makes me wish this video'd be 3 times as long

[@omegaman420]

Àp

[@ryan_454]

Without fail, Rabea always delivers the most monster tones in every video he does.

[@joesatchton212]

I don't know Rabea. But I do know I absolutely love his music, his playing, his tones and his overall attitude. And even though I don't know him personally, I feel so frickin' proud and happy for the guy, especially thinking back to the shy, nervous, slightly introverted and perhaps lacking-in-confidence youngster he was only a few years ago when he was basically a background character for Anderton's. There are really only a few modern musicians/youtube personalities who completely deserve all of the great things in life that can happen. Without question, Rabea is one of those people. Ya done good my friend! MORE POWER TO YOU! Long live 'Fro Rock and Roll!

[@vwharman]

Always here for Rabea vids. Dude is a monster, and just so musical and tone full in his playing

[@WhatsUpWhitey]

Love the breakdown on this. For those of us that play live, it is awesome to see someone on a completely other level demonstrate.

[@georgeweller3050]

Thank you so much Rabea for uploading all your Kraken amps for the QC! I use them all the time, sounds amazing!

[@glenproctor1999]

Love talks like this, discussing gear and techniques with a working musician. It helps that we know Rabea so well and that he's a star player and a great guy too!

[@PakaShreds]

Lee is a master of doing these videos now! So much content all the time and so entertaining! Of course Rabea is the fricken man as well

[@TuckerCustomShop]

Rabea has a most remarkable ear. His idea of sounds never ceases to amaze me.

[@mikehulsey4813]

Man, this was awesome! Thanks guys for giving an old dog some new tricks to play with….. definitely have some new ideas after watching this and fully intend to go back and take another look at some of the new digital sounds available out there, as I am honestly blown away by how much everything has advanced in the last few years!

[@Left_Hand_Path]

Rabea is one of my favorite guitarists the last decade. Dude has riffs for days and branches so many genres with his playing. Love seeing his boards and rigs

[@typedeaf]

I love how Lee is just 100% real with his questions.

[@jimmyjaylinssen3902]

Rabea's tones are always so incredible!!

[@duncanflight835]

Ahh man could have watched another hour of this! I’m so so happy that Rabea has the amazing opportunities he deserves but man am I sad about losing him from the channel 😢

[@DaveGreywolf]

Very nice! Saw you live a few weeks ago and hoped for a video like this one! Thank you 🤘🏻

[@LostMyMojo100]

Sweet!!! Nice seeing and hearing Rab.... Good luck!

[@thunderbirdbrown3002]

Whoa...I remember when Bea was doing a demo under an aquarium light , sweating and crushing riffs.And to see him now makes me smile.The evolution... priceless 🖖🏿😎. Another reason why I love this channel.Well done!.. Dudes! Getcha Pull 🥃-CHEERS 🍻

[@damonwolf7222]

Great to see Rabea on the channel again! Love The Captain & Danish Pete, but as a METAL guy, I've seriously missed Rabea & Rob on the show! Kinda difficult for me to judge how a piece of gear will work for ME without hearing someone play some METAL through it! 🤘

[@thethingthatshouldnotbe3035]

I saw Frog Leap a week ago on the 26th, it was A LOT of fun! You guys kick ass.

[@texasbootlegger3752]

Very good episode. Another teaching moment covering technology!

[@murlyn2]

I love Leo and Frogleap studios . Great addition with Rabea!

[@Reffitt2]

This video definitely got me more interested in a pure modeling rig! Rabea is such a good player!

[@EricEdwards1]

Rebea is super talented, loved this vid. He is a good part of the reason I purchased a QC over a Helix.

[@markntexas8265]

Congratulations on the tour hope it’s fun safe and profitable

[@wizrom3046]

Wow what an amazing guitar colour! 🥰

[@sircampbelltenson7297]

Was at Clarence festival earlier this year helping with the running but I was still there for the music and it was just as you guys were saying, loads of awesome local or just small artists and then a covers band last followed by a special thanks but the covers band really went well with the sunset and the general mood

[@andresampaio6661]

this rig is sick! and seriously, no one in the audience of a concert can notice the difference between valve amps and modelers. these modelers sound perfect.

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Glad to see Rabea getting all the press he is. Deserves it he does!

[@Rocktalk101]

Rabea is a great guitar player and the frog leap stuff is so awsome!

[@lattjeful]

Nothing better than Rabea and a Strat. Always a pleasure seeing Rabea play, but doubly so when he's got a Strat in hand.

[@TheFlexXMLG]

Awesome vid lads!

[@dcmuc]

Don't know what to say... amazing! I'm speachless.... what a great rig!

[@davidf2281]

I really enjoyed this -- just chatting and doodling about a bit with no particular agenda. Thumbs up.

[@damienbagleeguitar]

Rebea is fantastic just listening to his solo albums 🎸🎸👌👌

[@TriadAgone]

Grats to Rabea getting healthier over the years.shit can be tough, much respect

[@PungkiAhimsa]

I feel that Variax technology even from yeaaars ago is still so amazing and still sound really good today! The only thing stopping me from getting one is because the parts for repair when needed are not widely available. I hope Line 6 push them more in the market so it's more commonly used. I also feel that with the tech will be more accepted today compared to 10 or 15 years ago when whatever analog seems to be better than anything digital in guitar world

[@diydad7704]

I saw FrogLeap in september '22 and they had such a good vibe going on. Especially the dancing/rocking bunny cheered everyone up. Was surprised though, that Bea didn't use a Chapman. One Music Man guitar for the whole set...

[@JC-mx8fy]

wow that intro tone is insane man!!!!!

[@waynebridger4998]

Big fan of Bea's ambient sounds, would love to see a big deep dive video on how he gets some of these sounds

[@danabiondo9243]

Thank You Captian Crunch :) and Rebea!

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

Really liked this episode

[@OddoRocket]

I like that Lee mentioned this. I think the main thing that stops people, especially the more traditional player, from using a rig like the qc or other modlers is how reliable people think it is. Especially if its being automated. As lee said whats saying a valve amp won’t blow a tube or a pedal or two won’t go down during a gig. Technology has advanced so much that digital is as reliable if not more reliable than analog

[@neiladdison4457]

I see Rabea on a vid, I press play! Love it! I'm gonna sound old and out of date here but one of the things I love about guitar is how simple the set up can be. This stuff blows my mind. Maybe that's because I don't have the time or moolah to invest in it. Someone like Bea, who is an insane player, with a great guitar and a great amp is captivating to see and hear. Does it need all the gubbins? I don't know. Like I say... Old man here! 🤣. When I watch TPS I get totally lost in the intricate details of tone. Maybe tone chasing is in my future somewhere? I've got to get much better at playing first for that to happen though! 😝 Great vid chaps.

[@carpathus]

Holy Cats! Rabea is a MONSTER!!! Can only imagine how much time he puts in learning how to use that gear. Impressive.

[@jacobfife7273]

Glad to see pitch shifting is getting better and better. I used only have a guitar which had locking nuts so I could never play in different tunings. My only option was to pitch shift the song (which Guitar Pro has an easy knob to do) or pitch shift the guitar which would always sound wonky.

[@garysmith2983]

I used my Iridium direct into the PA on Saturday for a pub gig. Worked great. Very full sound. Yes, feels different, maybe not so much in terms of rich harmonics, but worked really, surprisingly, well.

[@jacobchandler1260]

I love that guitar😍

[@CHRISGEE1]

Bea is just a beast man. Too good with it.

[@scdre1974]

Rabea, you can double tap the icons to turn them on and off instead of your speed menu diving. you will love it!

[@cdh79]

I've seen Frog Leap in Amsterdam and it was an awesome show!

[@M0M...]

Why does this sound sooooo good

[@FunkyELF]

Haven't heard of that band, checked them out... very awesome. I'm a big fan of Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, I love it.

[@justech]

Great players and cool guys, both

[@bestboy897]

very insightful vid

[@FredHampshire]

Great video dudes

[@KnapfordMaster98]

The Neural DSP stuff for live is really exciting. I think I'd be at the level where it would be easier to just bring a good old fashioned amp to a gig, but if I ever got to do something bigger, I'd absolutely look at the Neural DSP stuff.

[@spiritzweispirit1st638]

Super congratulations Rebea! Such great knowledge and playing, Thank you,Peace, Blessings and Tone Always! btw' Lee🙂'not dirty' Just managed momentary therapy!🎼

[@limpindug]

Oh! Boy is Rabea dragging the captain to the dark side? Interesting show guys. 👍👍🥃Respect to you fellas.

[@michaelfrancis1]

killer sounds!! great info! peace

[@renatonyc]

That Iconic guitar thou… ooof 🔥

[@BoTraK]

@15:05, even the crew behind the camera felt that filthy beautiful soulcry of the fuzz. Made me chuckle

[@jeanmontford6219]

Ooooohhh noooooooo ... Don't stop now .. 😭 you were bringing tears to my eyes and it ended.... 💕💕🌻very interesting though.... You is the bees knees Bea ... Bea's knees 🔥

[@aldito7586]

He reminds me of Leslie West. (R.I.P.) The playing, the hair. Rabea's awesome !

[@MaxMiller614]

Rabeas tone man. God damn.

[@zacwilson6812]

Yay!!! More videos mad with guitars ill never be able to own.

[@joshuaH75]

Raves is an awesome player! Wow!

[@razor.2.rosary]

love this guy

[@allendean9807]

One of my favorite fuzz pedals is the Skreddy Pedals Lunar Module

[@austinhacker3]

Rabea really was this channel

[@schlagdog]

Honestly the best sounding pitch shift I’ve used was the simple pitch in the helix that he could have used but he’s a Neural guy now. I sat and A/B’d between the QC, whammy dt, and the Kemper when I still had all of them.

[@ereimul1444]

used to see Rabea doing video week in and week out here now we could only see him once in a while.

[@davedavem]

Interesting - I love the fuzz in Archetype: Rabea, but I didn't know it was modelled on the JHS Bender!

[@lancecluster]

Really interesting conversation.

[@willgoodchild4343]

Damn you Bea and Andertons!!! I’d convinced myself I didn’t need a QC now I’m back to well it would be nice

[@tusharjamwal]

you could also consider FM9, its actually out now!

[@matzer8846]

Soooo i do have to buy a NeuralDSP .... Just great video on "real world working musicians" knowing their stuff ... great approach and solution 👍👍👍

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Rabea is a great player, and such a cool cat. If you want that Microcosm's dreamy effect on the cheap, find an old Line 6 Verbzilla--it will do a very similar thing.

[@jeremywho2289]

This was my favorite andertons video ever.

[@johnbeamon]

The beer thing. I know this isn't for everyone, but I gig with a spare Helix or a Stomp ready offstage. I can get a pre-owned LT around $800 now. Two Helixes can be gotten for less than a nice pedalboard and a half stack. FWIW, I've never had a Helix malfunction onstage in four years.

[@jackmills4495]

I was just watching his old rig rundowns the other night

[@CristiNeagu]

Leo's best cover of all time (in my opinion) is the one he did with Rabea and Hannah of Toto's Africa. Amazing. And the outro solo was really, really good.

[@MrSulfor]

The outro will forever be king.

[@justnik8727]

Where do I find this?

[@CristiNeagu]

@@justnik8727 Just look up Frogleap Africa here on KZbin. It'll be the top result. Also, keep watching to the very end of the video. The music doesn't end when you think it does.

[@jonkerrmusic]

Heavy Wham per the Captain gave me a grin from ear to ear.

[@dmock66]

Luvs me some Rabea!

[@darielrodriguez6984]

Really packing a punch in a few devices.

[@danabiondo9243]

It's Sounds Cosmic!

[@DJMoralez]

Great video once again. I have a question for Rabea, if i use a cab on stage for monitoring, what is the best power amp for the QC? I thinking buying the Seymour Duncan Power Stage 700. What is your thoughts about it? Thanks

[@cover-me]

Fuzz sounds are must be one of the hardest stuff to do digitally (probably) because I didnt realy see any spot on one and I tried a bunch... IK Multimedia's brand new stuff the Tonex contains some at the same time and I think its because its not programmed fro mscrap but its machine learned by the software itself. Great stuff here with Rabea, cool guy, enjoyed Frogleap at Budapest.

[@tusharjamwal]

Oh no!!! I missed frogleap tour!!! they were in Germany!! I had free time as well 😭

[@ivorharden]

Don't get me wrong, I love to see all this new technology but there is nothing better than seeing a wall of 100w Marshalls on standby before and roaring during a gig.

[@m.b.g.musicproduction9658]

The last section of Rabea's demo was just pure filth..............................and I loved it!

[@inigolm1863]

TONE KING

[@mickylicky5265]

Fascinating......

[@SlightlyTechnical]

im not normally a strat player however id play that strat i would probably put a stacked coil humbucker in the neck but it sounds great and seems comfortable to play

[@davidramos4317]

Jesus Christ the sounds are insane.

[@Xenious]

There was an old US advert campaign where it was "Bo Knows" (Bo Jackson) and I think its time for a new one.... "Bea knows tone!" daaaaamn

[@DustinRadtke]

Hands down, the QC does the best pitch shift for drop tuning. The Fractal products sound the most natural, but that virtual capo isn't as good as the QC version. I play live with the FM9 based 100% on sound a feel, but the QC almost had me with ease, size and the drop tuner. Our bass player uses it now, and it sounds killer for bass.
