Neural DSP has released a reimagining of another one of its Archetype series plugins in collaborations with the world’s most creatively and technologically adventurous guitarists.
Archetype: Rabea X features a unique and innovative suite of amps and effects, as well as the groundbreaking Overlord Synth. The update also brings a new speaker option, a redesigned UI, 2 new noise options for the oscillators (White & Pink), a portamento glide knob for smoother transitions between notes, and Quad Cortex compatibility via a future CorOS update.
Rabea Massaad, as both a solo artist and a member of innovative bands Dorje and Toska, is the quintessential modern musician, as at home on YouTube as he is on the fretboards of guitars. He’s also a teacher, the creator of dozens of instructional and informational videos on playing, performing, and gear. That same artistic versatility that was originally captured with Neural DSP’s acclaimed Archetype: Rabea is now taken to new heights via the Archetype: Rabea X plugin. It offers updated takes on key processors that are critical parts of his sound, including Octaver, Fuzz, and Overdrive effects, as well as stereo Delay and Reverb effects with their own unique parameter controls.
