Everything about Rabea is distinctive, from his look, the breadth of styles he effortlessly flows throughout, to his tone-crafting abilities.
We have been working together since our very beginnings and knew that when it was time to make his Archetype, we would have to do something as inspired and extraordinary as the man himself.
We ensured that every element in this plugin-every amplifier and effect, was completely novel.
And nothing symbolizes novelty more than the Overlord monosynth, the first of its type in a commercial guitar plugin. This algorithm represented uncharted territory for us in every way. Delivering extraordinarily seamless tracking and such a complete feature-set in a simple user interface pushed us to new limits. It truly embodies the uncompromising and inspired spirit with which we created this plugin.
We proudly present you: Archetype: Rabea.

"outrageous"! Definitely the right word!! :)

I think this is -Marshall jvm -Victory kraken -Peavey 5150

[@mrcoatsworth429]

If these are modeled after his favorite amps, then it's not a 5150. More like a SLO 100.

[@thebenwmusic]

Yeah I'd say thats right but the clean amp could be based off the victory copper?

[@rikmcrae]

It’s the 2.5 channels of the VX100 Super Kraken.

[@guitars357]

Been a viewer since Chasin Jade and Toska...watched all the Rob Chapman stuff as It was coming out...man you deserve this so much. I remember in a random Chappers video you mentioned that your goal was "to just be able to play like Guthrie...like just hear any style and and play comfortably over it..." and you've done it man. People want to learn to play like Rabea now

[@hrishikeshmandalofficial]

Whenever i was watching the reviews by Rabea sir, always wonder about archetype rabea!!!! Now it's here .. Congratulations to Rebea sir and thank you Neural dsp for everything ❤️

[@charlesruiz2000]

Well deserved. Since Rabea covers a variety of genres I think this is going to be a very versatile suite for single coil and humbucking guitars.

[@NeuralDSP]

You are correct!

[@nj1255]

Finally! I knew Rabea would get an Archetype plug-in eventually. Will look forward to testing it!

[@jessebout3093]

This is my favourite tracks in a NDSP teaser to date, which is saying a lot.

[@Utubesup7890]

Rabea plays so many styles. He’s a jack of all trades. Great at all of them. Seems it comes naturally. It’s about time he stood in that spotlight on his own. Congrats. PS not to say he hasn’t worked very hard at his craft. I just think he has an ear for it where some of struggle more. I just think it’s about time he stood in his own shadow with nobody else. He could easily be a session guy because of the ability to play any style. And he’s humble.

[@personalfreedom2700]

Rabea is the star for sure, he makes anything sound amazing

[@therareplatypus7121]

I'd really love for you guys to put out a "tone hub". Where you can mix and match the components of each plug-in. That way, I don't need multiple instances of plug-ins. It'd be like putting together a virtual amp and pedal board.

[@RemyLuciani]

Completely agree. Got the feeling Neural sells us the same plug-in with some tweaks and ONE new FX on every archetype.

[@therareplatypus7121]

@@RemyLuciani I'd even be fine if you had to buy the entire plug-in to get said components, but also selling just amp sims, pedals, processors, and such separately too? I'd probably be more into buying more if I could mix and match different things from different plug-ins.

[@LunatiqueRob]

We've been asking this for years, and AFAIK, the company has never once expressed any interest in doing such a thing. They seem to just tell customers to open up multiple instances in their DAW, which is not the ideal solution. I own 11 of their plugins now, and if would be nice if I could mix and match all the pieces of gear in a tone hub software. IMO, they should just develop this and release it for free to customers who own at least two of their plugins. Hell, they could maybe even charge money for it and most customers would pay for it.

[@ChadKirk]

They’re way too greedy. They’ve been selling the same sim with different fx and IR’s for years.

[@Man0fMetal]

@@LunatiqueRob are you able to launch two with out a change in sound? I tried launching one with tone(Petrucci) and one with everything off(Henson). The sound changes for me.

[@ovivan79]

@A.C. prod. I have. In my opinion Rabea fits right in there and is putting out great work of guitar music. The fact he’s chasing great sounds and producing and mixing a lot of his own stuff also makes him a great inspiration. To my taste his compositions are incredible.

[@thebenwmusic]

@A.C. prod. I'll back Tim and Manuel all day but trust me Rabea is part of the new gen, that polyphia style is not the only modern one that's relevant, listen to some Toska or any of Bea's pieces of work. I can't stand these new release comment sections when there's hate on the artist or ndsp for not doing something specific, like get over it mate don't be a neek

Lush looking amp UI made for Rabea. Octaver, intresting compressor, crazy reverb, unique delay and a wild synthesiser. You had me at the amps already. What's the chance these get added to DSP Quad Cortex as even if you have to pay abit for them that will be an instant buy from me.
