[@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]

@@seanmorgan9020 thanks!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@maxmenius9839]

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

[@SimonLoveridge]

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

[@NAZGVL_147]

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

[@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.

[@MrMarcoWylde]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@spcysos]

I’ve been watching you for years and all I have say is - you’re awesome! Keep up the great work and the best to you and your family.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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…

[@honigdachs.]

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

[@JaggedDyldo]

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.

[@jefflesser630]

Best demo on this I have seen. You sold me on it, and got a new sub in the process!

[@nikverschuren4291]

Your my favorite youtuber musician, your music really touches me on levels nobody else did besides Gojira. I bought myself a Chapman Bea mensis, and im so in love with it -> keeps me playing non stop and making me want to be a better guitarist, and be creative. Thank you Bea, keep up the good work. All the best wishes to you and your family. Greetings Nik from the Netherlands.

[@Jota595]

LOVE IT. Great birthday gift to myself, Im buying that for sure haha Thank you for such a nice video!

[@tiltMOD]

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

[@Bdegan68]

Holy Cow!! As Rabea was clicking through the presets. I saw Awaken the Master. This is awesome and not just older sounds

[@starrk7158]

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.

[@paulprs9703]

Thanks Rabea great review

[@JoelWard1]

The KZbin codec isn't doing any favours for these tones haha :D Sounds absolutely killing, though! Great runthrough and immaculate playing as always Rabea! 10/10

[@toneydavis9802]

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.

[@yoshiki.g1450]

These are sick tones. Love them all.

[@k.2768]

Ambient vibes 1 and 2 is a killer tone ❤️

[@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

[@ScottGailor]

Hands down their best plug in to date. Great video.

[@Yankeesheepdog]

[@rickcampbell296]

Amazing video sir!!! Great plugin.

Stunning plug in, great vid thanks.

[@fateunleashed9680]

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.

[@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

[@serjicalforce]

I seriously cannot wait for an Archetype Rabea . You deserve that man. As always a great video. Best wishes!

[@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!

[@denzelyeess]

Damn!!!!! i might be late but you have become in very good shape!

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Awesome tone man

[@gilandrade3384]

[@EamonBJWyse]

Great video, Rabea. Bought the plugin straight away. Immense. I need to pick up an Expression Pedal, so on the hunt for one.

[@ugopalazzooddo8405]

Can someone explain me how the Exp pedals works with these plugins? The one Rabea uses in the video (he says "I've got an EV-1") is that the Boss wireless? I don't see cables or anything, he just puts it on the floor and stomps on it...it must send some midi magic??

[@soundscapematrix]

The Ambient presets are other worldly ! Very Cool....

[@roryt1983]

Cheers for another year of great content bud, will there be a Grinding Gears IV ? Your Petrucci track is sick but my personal favourite was one you did for GGD Cali. All the best!

[@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.

Love Rabea so much, as well as this plugin. Trying the trial now. Hoping I get the funds to buy it afterwards. In the next few years, I'd love to get a Quad Cortex, and I wonder if there will be a way to load plugins like this one into the QC. That would be rad! By the way, you're always a pleasure to listen to, so don't worry about talking too much. I do the same on KZbin, I talk too much, but it's just who we are lol.

[@lycancatt4248]

great playing as always! from a mix engineers perspective the doubler is overused in the presets but it sure does do what it says

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

Such an awesome guitar player

[@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.

[@flok2929]

That one opening chord with your piezo-preset gave me an instant „Diablo“- flashback, don‘t know why… :)

Love this demo. Really comprehensive. Thanks loads. I've bought a couple of the neural plugins based off the back of your videos. They are now integrated into my live rig. More a guitar question for you. I have a Chapman Baritone, got the stock pre sonourous pickups. I've noticed your baritone signature model has the bareknuckle silo....while I'm not yet ready to buy that guitar I do have an old guitar not being used with a bareknuckle warpig in it. Could you honestly say if I swapped it into my Chapman Baritone I'd get a noticeable improvement in tone? Your silo sounds immense so hoping it would get "similar" results. Would love to hear your feedback. Cheers fella

[@NaztyHabit]

I own many many pickups including fishman, multiple bare knuckles, EMG Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, The silo pickup I have in the bridge of my Chapman baritone is by far my favorite for rhythms right now, especially since pinch squeals stand out better than any other pickup I own, good luck to you cheers!
