[@RabeaMassaad]

Thank you all so so much for the kind words and support from you all. It’s crazy honestly! Means the absolute world to have such an awesome community of people here. I’m completely taken back by the reception of this plugin. I feel like people are already getting inspired and creating from trying it out. Thank you all for requesting it, trying it out and Or if you grabbed a copy as well! So grateful. I’ll be back from NDSP HQ really soon, and will try put together a bit of an overview for you all and go through it. As for the song. I’m happy you’re digging it! Was a blast to write. It’ll be online soon, and i guess that wraps GG4 too. Which will be the last one as well. Anyway, thank you all soooooo much ❤️:) Rabea

Well all of us that have been here for the journey know that if anyone deserves it it’s you

[@slash196]

Paid full price to make sure you get your full cut, not only do you deserve it but this is a really awesome plugin to play and use. Well done.

[@DreamingTheatric]

Getting this ASAP. One of the best archetype reveals for a deserving channel.

[@ABVW92]

For a demo, this is better than 99.999% of music that gets put out these days! Bea, you are a legend in the making, and the only reason I say in the making, is because your story is FAR from over, and for as legendary as you already are, I feel like there is so much more to come! Keep being awesome.

[@jonathankvex]

Good lord, everything about this video is nuts. First of all - this song is sick. A full album of this would be amazing. Second, the videography is incredibly high quality and well designed. Congrats on the signature plug-in Rabea! By the end I forgot that’s what the video was about.

I agree, its amazing. They put alot of work into it. So much vibes

I agree 100%….this has such a “Satrianni-era” vibe I don’t even care about the plug-in…I also completely forgot the whole reason this video was created..I show it to my musician friends…we all agree this is refreshingly next level…the lest chord of the song sustained is so perfect…amazing…my only gripe is that it isn’t available to download or stream on AppleMusic or iTunes…maybe they should fix that

[@leolego]

I do not play or produce music, nor currently own any instruments. And I am DAMNED glad I clicked this video! Love the tracks and the sound, even through my sub-$20 PC speakers!

[@ianlahaye9476]

Honestly, humbly and sincerely, one of the most beautifully orchestrated, captured, and utilized guitar related demo's I've ever seen. Not only as a fan, but as a lifelong player and spectator; It hit me right in the chest. Ha, I forgot there was a plug-in you were showcasing! Stellar...

[@palfaypeti]

Absolutely agree

This is easily up there with John Petrucci or Nolly Getgood's archetype demo tune. Fantastic stuff.

I keep coming back to this video time after time. Sure it’s a product video but Bea’s playing in this is next level. The way he weaves the narrative between sections. His breadth of technical accomplishment in his playing. To his use of effects. Its all there and this this is uplifting. It brings me joy. His musicality sends shivers down my spine. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

So pleased for you, Bea. Like many, I’ve been such a fan for what seems like a fair while now. Your style has influenced my playing in significant ways, even though I’ve been playing for 20 years already. Can’t think of a more deserving artist for this collaboration. Best wishes.

The only add i ever let play in its entirety. An amazing journey of a song that never feels abrupt but takes such wide steps in sonic delivery

The amount of energy Bea puts into his performances is just phenomenal. I love that this is a thing and everything about this is just so sick. Well earned and so stoked.

[@Habixus]

AAAAHHH YYEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!! THE WAIT IS OVER!!!!! I can't imagine how hard it was to keep it quiet with all these comments asking over and over again "When Archetype: Bea?!?!?!?!". And now it's there, at the start of my holidays! Woooohhhoooooo! Thanks for everything you're doing these last few years. I really lacked motivation to pick up my guitar more than once per year and your content really kept that itch alive for almost 2 years now and I'm enjoying to play my guitars more than ever. Thank you!

[@satch500]

Guitar is such a unique instrument. I love how I can hear about 10 different players in this, but then also hear Rabea's style running through it too. Full of influence and exquisite flair. Lovely guy too. Thanks Rabea for this gem.

[@ParanormalResponse]

Man.. You are killing it in this little thing we call life. Keep going forward, we are still here!

[@panosv7258]

at this point neural dsp can just take all the archetype promos and release album of the year. what a track Bea..amazing

[@BarqB]

Definitely his best work. More like this Rabea

[@jeremyschiesser3331]

Dude yes!!!! So well deserved, you're a massive talent, the major one inspiring me to get back on it with a home studio and what not. It's about the expression, the extension of ourselves. Through not just the riffs but the tones. The dynamics we create. And you have so much of all of that. This makes me so happy to see and just loaded with joy for you and other creatives all over. Three cheers for Bea!

[@angusyoung9594]

The fact that you now have your own Archetype has brightened up my day! Well deserved.

[@KRayxKodessA]

Congratulations! Long overdue and VERY well deserved! I may have to finally take the Neural DSP plunge.

[@michaelbarber590]

This is probably about the most fun I've ever had with any amp plugin I've ever played through. The effects are so damn good. Only been playing with it for a few.hours and my mind is blown. Very inspiring and absolutely a (soon) future purchase and a keeper.

[@johnhynesproductionslimite7522]

I’ve been saying this needed to exist for years now and I am SO stoked that it’s finally happening. Def gonna pick this up with the next paycheck

[@Bigcountrybreakfast]

Rabea’s presets are ALWAYS my go-to’s on the other neural plugins I have… but now you’re telling me he’s got his own plug-in? Take my money. Good job Rabea, I’ve learned a ton from you over the past few years about gear, and playing… you’re the man! Keep it up!

[@KhyberPasshole]

Please make sure this track ends up on an album somewhere. It's phenomenal!

[@djxxeess]

Woot woot!! Congratulations on a well deserved plug-in tribute Bea. This looks to be the most unique suite of the Neural bunch. Showcase song was insane too! Might have been my favorite part of the video! Cheers!!

[@austinmoser5056]

Said it before and I'll say it again, Rabea is the most unique guitarist of the last 20 years period and one of the most unique of all time. His sound and writing and expression are just unapologetically him, he sounds like him and nobody else

Every time one of these Neural Archetypes drops I'm in awe of the video they create to unveil it. They've all been stellar, but this one... this one; my god. Every single detail about this, from the writing, arrangement, playing, and production of the music, to the lighting design, grip and gaff work, camera work... everything was as good as it could possibly be. I'm sitting here agog, in wide-mouthed astonishment at what I've just seen. Keep kicking ass, Rabea, and I'll keep listening!

[@slash196]

Not only is this a killer plugin, the guitar synth is going to MASSIVELY improve my workflow. Can't wait for the walkthrough.

[@8rk]

OH.MY.GOD. I already have 4 plugins from neural DSP and when I saw they posted something was coming, I thought I can’t possibly “need” another one. While I certainly don’t “need” it I’ll absolutely get this to support you and what you do Rabea! Watching your rise has been a delight 🙌🏻

You have blown up already and are slowly but surely becoming a well respected guitarist, not just in the community but just as a musician. So cool to see, great track and great to follow your journey through the years. This is sick.
