Archetype Petrucci | Full Overview & Tones

[@RabeaMassaad]

If you’re even slightly tempted to check out any NDSP plugin, I urge you to give it a go! I may be a bit biased, but they’re sooooo fun to use! The JP Archetype is the newest addition to the plugin range, and it’s insane how much they managed to cram in here! Hope you enjoy the tones. If you wanna hear the tones in context of a song, check the link in the description!

[@chazbarnes3221]

Couldn't agree more. I've got the Cory Wong and the Gojira plugins and they're both absolutely phenomenal. Totally changed the game of how I record guitar at home.

[@silentknives21]

Can I use my boss katana head as an audio interfac to trial it? I’m so tempted to switch to using the neural plugins, but don’t want to spend £100 on the focusrite Scarlett solo incase I don’t like them 😂

[@ERWebster]

You have got to try the OBNE Sunlight. I think it will bring you a lot of joy.

[@richardknoll586]

So officially I am an “old-guy” at 50 finally got with the times and bought an audio interface to use with the Mac and try playing guitar this way. I purchased the Neural DSP Soldano SLO 100 and Holy Shit ! Sounds epic ! I am doing free trial with the Gojira plug-in and it’s fantastic as well! Thanks Bea for always inspiring me !

[@markomannikko9993]

@@silentknives21 you wont regret it a second :D I did try that way, first with PodXT then with Boss katana but gave up, took a chance and got a Scarlett and will never ever look back, homerecording finally works as it should and NeuralDSP’s… its the guitartones I’ve been chasing whole my life!! Finally 😎

[@ileutur6863]

It would be cool if Neural DSP released a sort of archetype hub or archetype builder, where you could combine different aspects of archetype models and be charged according to how much you put in. For example, I'd want the pedals from Gojira, the amps from Nolly and the time effects from Petrucci. I know this can be achieved by just loading in all 3 and turning on the parts I need, but that really sucks up processing power

[@athmaid]

@@ArrakisOCE yeah I have the same problem. I think I'll just get Helix Native and some good cab IRs

[@progresywny2070]

Line 6 did that with pod farm back in the day.

[@iurigrang]

As good for us as that would be, that would be such a money loss for them. People paying for features they don't need is probably over half the money they make.

[@slash196]

@@iurigrang It wouldn't be any less money. You'd still be selling the full plugins. You'd just be making them easier to use. People can already do this, I use the Plini effects sections on just about everything, but it's kind of a pain. Personally I expect them to do this, particularly since they're porting everything to the QC where it'll have to be modular anyway.

[@RubyRoks]

You mean the Quad Cortex?

[@seanmorgan9020]

The most complete plugin I've EVER used. The Per Nilsson presets are just plain ooph.

[@FreimannMusic]

Are these presets included in the plugin?

[@seanmorgan9020]

@@FreimannMusic Why yes indeed! The "Chuglife" one is perfection.

[@FreimannMusic]

[@leandroalexis1750]

Incredible. Can’t believe they already added that. Seems way too comprehensive and top quality to be true… will try it out

[@MikaTarkela]

For me the Chuglife was way too gainy :D

[@NAZGVL_147]

I literally cannot believe you got all of these sounds from one plugin. Truly magnificent, Neural take my money!!!!!

[@suhasrn]

It's nice of Neural DSP to give the other artists a couple of years head start before releasing the Petrucci variant. This now looks a monopoly on the sales front for the most sold Archetype

[@jacobsmith1877]

Neural also had to get some clout to be able to attract one of the best guitarists of all time. I'm wondering if they'll do a Vai plugin in the next couple of years

[@purpysvault]

@@jacobsmith1877 Vai seem to have stuff going on with Synergy and his own Origin amps or whatever those are, so not sure if that's gonna happen, but if it will, oh boy will it be awesome

[@Pokey7317]

DUDE your videos are SWEET. Make them as long as you want. Your such an inspiration and i like how healthy you're looking now. you inspired me to get my shit together. well played 'ol boy. Keep doing your thing mate, keep it going.

[@ryanjohnston3594]

Great demo as always. I don't think anyone has ever thought one of your videos was too long, could listen to you play for hours.

[@dadmadforgot4050]

Rabea is an absolute legend. So many youtube channels are from people who just learned guitar - Rabea is the genuine article, full on brilliant musician. Great work.

[@SimonLoveridge]

Out of all of the presets, your ambient ones are definitely the most fun and satisfying to play with, great job!

[@tristanherrmann2539]

Your preset "Ambient Vibes 1" is insane! It´s more than beautifull. Everything fits together perfectly! Thanks for your amazing sound and great Review!

[@prakharbhardwaj303]

I was looking for this comment! It absolutely blew my mind!

[@SeriouslySarius]

Both you and Neural sound better with each release. Amazing stuff. There's a preset on this one called "I'm selling all my amps". I'm thinking about selling one or two of my tube amps and upgrading my interface. This stuff sounds that good.

[@tiltMOD]

Neural DSP is my favorite tech company! Such innovative and game-changing products done so tastefully.

[@danm8731]

Been demoing since the day it came out , such a great plugin , safe to say when my trial is over I will be buying

[@jeremyversusjazz]

nueral’s design aesthetic is just the best. the cory wong stuff also gorgeous. and of course their tones are state of the art. visual design matters. ugly shit don’t make me wanna reach for it.

[@trentburket]

i couldnt agree more, tim henson’s design is clutch

[@maxmenius9839]

Awesome demonstration. The quality of the sounds is truly remarkable, especially that piezo. Mind blowing clarity and tone.

[@RafitaPapita2099]

Honestly the transpose knob is worth the price of admission alone - turning my 6 string into a 7 or 8 string is an amazing feature and is a life saver. No need to take a 2nd guitar to gigs when you can just turn a knob! Killer!!!

You shouldn't concern yourself whether a video is too long. This is really good content and a fantastic bit of advertising and marketing. I never thought it was too long personally.

[@honigdachs.]

This is the best plugin I ever played through. It's absolutely fantastic.

[@budw59]

I have several Neural plugins. I hear like a blown speaker kind of distortion on all of the higher gain settings. I hear it on this video too. It might be just string noise. Anyone else hearing this? I’ve tried lower input settings and still hear it.

[@prakharbhardwaj303]

Rabea your presets are freaking incredible! Hope Neurals paying you bucketloads of money

[@wessimons]

I downloaded today and it is ridiculous. Rabea, thanks as always for an amazing overview and the artist plugins that were included. When this shows up in the QC, good lord…

[@zagrix]

the strat sounds were amazing

[@jiikoo4376]

I have Plini & Nolly plugins which I've loved. Secretly have wished about JP to jump on to awesome Neural Dsp -train. This sounds sooo good and the amount of features this beast have...well...is beyond my dreams! I know what I´m getting for Christmas this year:)! Thanks for the Great demo Rabea again and take care!

[@MrMarcoWylde]

Awesome plugin! And I really love your presets! The Beaking Strat is so perfect with ... a strat!

[@BenDeRaps1]

I hate to criticize this video but you were saying that you thought the video was too long and quite honestly I could have watched that video for hours and hours. Watching you have so much fun with that program and listening to you play and get the most out of each preset and getting to hear all of the different presets was absolutely entertaining and since you have so much knowledge of not only the program but obviously in playing the guitar I genuinely enjoyed listening to you get the most out of each preset and the different genres of music you were able to enjoy playing. This video was an absolute delight and I wish it were longer because I would just let it play. I felt like I was in the room with you and every time you did something that shocked you and brought a great big smile to your face I caught myself smiling with you because watching somebody genuinely enjoy something new like an awesome Christmas morning is quite honestly and awesome thing to witness from a spectator's point of view. It was like watching and incredibly gifted kid opening up the best Christmas gift ever LOL. It was a lot of fun and I hope you do a lot more videos like this one

[@louisburley1597]

This one took a lot of dialing in but I've enjoyed it after much tweaking. Pairing this in Stereo with the Gojira though is the best thing in the Universe.

[@k.2768]

Ambient vibes 1 and 2 is a killer tone ❤️

[@halusky]

I gave this plugin a spin today after being not too impressed with Plini (which isn't bad at all, but didn't mesh with my playing style), and HOLY SHIT. I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying that this plugin has just about every tone I'll ever need. Love the variety & quality of both clean and distorted tones. Heavy thrash? Got it, thanks to Kiko of Megadeth. Want to tune your E standard 6-string down to A standard? There's a pitch-shifted tone that sounds almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Want to sound like you're playing an acoustic? "Hello Victoria" sounds eerily close. I play in E standard, but it sounds like there are some tones meant for rhythm playing on thicker 7th or 8th strings, in addition to heavy tones that sounded great on my Les Paul. There's really something for everyone. I could go on for days, but I'll end by mentioning the sheer thrill I got out of playing the Pull Me Under with the preset of the same name and sounding pretty much exactly like Petrucci did in the studio in '92.

[@robertdahlstrom]

boy did that harmonic minor mode sound good on the piezo setting

[@paulprs9703]

Hello! I've trying to figure something out for a while now since I'm a newbie when it comes to recording and/or streaming with Audio from my DAW.

[@sandyturner1911]

[@eliteextremophile8895]

This is easily the best Archetype plugin this far. Insane versatility and top notch quality effects. I've always preferred Neural DSP cabsims over any other cabsims and this takes the lead still. All I need more is to have 45 degree mic position and I can die in peace.

[@Dejoblue]

I believe this product demonstration and the separate song using this product demarcates the point in time; the moment Rabea Massaad launched himself into the "Premiere", "Ultra Premium", "AAAAA", etc. category of influencers. I hope he was paid well for this; regardless, in my estimation, his asking price just tripled. Amazing job! "Archetype Petrucci | A Tribute to JP" has been in rotation on my playlist since its release. uncanny; I had to check to make sure this was not a "Suspended Animation" track I missed. Cheers!

Any reason to listen to you play is a good reason.! A Petrucci plugin has to be awesome. I am amazed at the technology availsble to players today.

Usually I like a feature or so, but this is really full of goodies! The Nolly plugin covers so many bases, but this has a ton of great additions that I really would love to use. The acoustic amp is great, the rack unit ambient section is super awesome, I really love the flanger and phaser for taste options, and my favorite feature I've wanted is transposition! Might have to save and get this one day.
