Neural DSP - new teaser (Rabea X, nvm)

Can't believe I'm saying this, but......after seeing Rabea's video on the surprisingly considerable amount of changes/new cab/presets/etc. added to the X version of his Archetype, I'm seriously considering grabbing this at the current holiday sale price.



Shame the goofy preliminary marketing decided to communicate none of this, but all water under the bridge now.

Oh hell, that synth stuff sounds great!
Give me that with polyphony (I know, almost impossible to do, even the SY-300 won't do such sounds accurately in polyphonic mode) and it'd be an instant buy.
 
Is it just me, but in virtually all of these plugins, from all the Y/T demo's, the pre pedals and post pedals all sound very same'y, as do the Amps - especially when dialed in for Crunch on up ?

100% this , I used to talk a lot with the builder of Baron amps , Amazing guy and super knowledgeable
Imagine conversing w Jay Mitchell but without being ridiculed and told explicitly why your wrong anyway I digress .

This was guy was great and had worked on a LOT of amps , and he told me , if you opened up half of the high gainers you would be shocked as many are literally like 2 or 3 components apart

Put a lot of amps into the same cab and they will have way more similarities than you'd think.

Nothing new, but If anything, this is possibly my biggest takeway of all my endeavours in modeling land.

I kinda knew how cabs would make a difference before IRs came up, I also knew how mics would make a lot of a difference, but I still remember when I finally had a computer capable of running lots of IRs at the same time (2007 Macbook with Logic's Space Designer) and heard about the IR frenzy, so I started grabbing my guitar signal with a DI box inserted in the speaker path and got the RedWirez teaser pack and their Big Box shortly after.
That was a mindblowing experience because the general shape of the guitar tone could be manipulated in an amount of ways I could hardly believe (way more than any regular EQ-ing could do).
And it's been especially noticeable on overdriven tones. I could almost manage to make my dirt stompboxes sound the same even if IRs are sitting behind what we typically think of as being the main tone shaping stage (which it still is, of course...). Or rather: Some IRs would make the differences of the core tone stand out much more whereas others would rather "mask" them. And even more astonishing: All that was happening well within whatever "totally acceptable" range, so I wasn't comparing a 3.5" radio speaker with a 4x12 but rather, say, just 2 variations of a Celestion.
As said, nothing new by now anymore, but if there ever was an eye opener related to modeling, for me it's gotta be that experience.

Fock it! I used my NDSP gift on the Rabea X. And the synth is cool, and will be used a lot when the plugin gets ported over to the Quad Cortex.
I can mix a line with the synthpad and make a new line with amps, and mix them together. It will sound massive
