Archetype: Rabea

[@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.

[@leolego]

Yes man, everything is epic about this! Had the pleasure to try this plugin out for a bit and its a win on every level! Congrats!!

[@ractorstudios]

ya super epic !

[@jedimindtrix2142]

Yea man. I have 3 of the Neural DSP plugins myself. The diversity of this one is appealing. Especially the synth setting. That was a huge plus for me as it will fit perfectly with an idea for a live project I have had floating around in my head for a bit

[@dildojizzbaggins6969]

*it's (short for "it is") @jedimindtrix2142 *Yeah ("yea" is biblical and pronounced "yay")

[@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.

[@axeljuengst2522]

this "demo track" alone is beyond f+++ing EPIC!!!! Massive sounds! Congrats on that plug-in, Rabea!

[@MonkeyJedi99]

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!

[@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.

[@ractorstudios]

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

[@JasonTreadway007]

agreed on all points.

[@johnhynesproductionslimite7522]

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

[@thankyouspaceexpert]

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.

[@gentlewolf1279]

Now this is how you unveil a plugin. Stoked for you Rabea

[@Ghostman1846]

all of this comment. That video was INSANE!

[@johnhynesproductionslimite7522]

This is pretty much one of my favourite instrumental songs right now… I wish it was available on iTunes or Apple Music or something like that… Goosebumps

It is ;) It’s called ‘We Are Here’ Thanks!

[@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.

[@devinm2053]

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

[@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

[@mannaforra]

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

[@alexcrouse]

@@mannaforra And Tim Henson's. These are just incredible marketing.

[@juliencabanac5406]

Rabea is definitly a guitarist who lives with is time. This old strat with this modern production is mindblowing. whob said the rock is dead ? the sound of nowadays using the past is truely inspiring.

[@antonletsgodipping]

The most epic arrangement and solo I've heard from anyone this year. By 3:20 I was in tears

[@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!

[@landonparson7200]

When an ad is your new favorite song. So sick!

[@blaine_elmore]

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.

[@michaelmcculloch5957]

Your playing is so moving. You’re very humble. But you are one of thee most incredible guitarists with and amazingly unique sound and you can do any genre. The Cory Wong plug-in song was insane ❤

[@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.

[@The_Kalahari_Cowboy]

Best plug in I have ever bought. Keeps me playing for HOURS! And the freeze function... Genius.

[@GabrielCyrGuitarist]

Damn!! I got goosebumps!! The plugin seems to be amazing but the song and the video where out of this world!!

[@minnesodope]

Seen this video 100 times, but just now realizing the lighting coincides with the design of each amp used for that section. Subtle touch but brilliant. Love the plug in man. Thank you!

[@user-iw4fq9ml1r]

These are some pretty rad ray-traced reflections you got goin on there bea.

[@EricTetz]

Just saw this ad while watching something totally unrelated, and it stopped me in my tracks. Watched the whole freakin' thing. Absolutely epic. So glad to see you getting this attention.

[@chrisoconnor7646]

Genuinely grinned ear to ear with this! Such a beastly tone! Well in Rabea!

[@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.

[@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!

[@SamuelMcCunemusic]

Man i have to say this is the most beautiful musical guitar track i've heard. Incredible composition sir, my hat's off to you. The clean, and then bringing the thunder... brilliant

[@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

[@paulymolly9380]

Tim henson

[@austinmoser5056]

@@paulymolly9380 Tim is incredible, but I disagree. Rabea has so many influences and incorporates so many different styles, I've never heard a guitarist that plays like him

Glad to say this is the first time i watched a youtube ad, NO REGRETS.

[@Anshul1614]

My BP rose when I found out it’s Archetype none other than Rabea. Congrats on your own plug-in finally, well deserved. Im guessing after NDSP getting tones of requests. I’m getting it as soon as I can afford it. It may take a couple years but I’m getting it.

[@shaharbar]

A couple of years? Dude its a plugin, not a house…

[@gonzopewpew]

Brooooooooo! THE STRAT TONES!!! I need this

[@slash196]

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

[@Nomanspie]

That chord progression that starts first at 1.20 the comes back in near the end of the song is spine tingling. It has this euphoric feel and open melody that make the hairs on my arms stand on end.

[@panosv7258]

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

[@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!

[@ianbruce9960]

Sound like Bea without breaking the bank!

[@Ghostman1846]

I've never been more excited about a release in my entire guitar playing life. Downloaded the demo today and was shocked at how many presets there were. It's going to take me weeks to get through. Insanely good sounding and limitless possibilities with this release. A very fitting plug-in that does justice to one of the best guitarists out there today. Awesome work all around.

[@Zeinzu2]

Why do all your songs feel like they're 2 times longer than they are?? FINALLY this is the one I've personally been waiting for!!! Sick shit bro. SICK

[@angusyoung9594]

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

[@ellleigh1216]

Everything you do, just turns it up to another level. You keep elevating as a musician and it’s insane to keep watching your progression, getting better and better each time. 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.

[@TemporalSounds]

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

[@madmaskbass]

Ohh Wow!! Congrats Man!! Bloody Legend! Always been such a huge fan of your playing and tone choices that this is a solid move from Neural! Congrats again mate you join a group of some of the best modern guitar players of our time and that is a huge achievement!

[@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 🙌🏻

[@roywennekes8548]

Yes! Lessssss Goooooo! Can't wait to hear the sounds I'll be able to get out of the plugin, especially the effects and the synth... Like everybody said, well deserved man and NDSP killing it once more!

Finally!, someone can check a plug-in in all the layers of the music, It was an AMAZING EPIC TRIP. I Really thank you for not playing blues solos with a clean guitar or for not playing 15,000 kilos of virtuous notes all the video. Thanks for playing incredibly badass riffs that are not common in demonstrations.

[@erikenwald3668]

Huge congrats! A total surprise, but a deserved one. So happy and proud of you, and the plugin itself looks insane! Can't wait to try it out! :)

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.
