Using a Fender Stratocaster and Archetype Rabea for High, Low Gain tones + Synth | Original Song
11I challenged myself to use one single coil guitar (Fender American Stratocaster) and one plugin (NeuralDSP Archetype Rabea) to make a song with low gain, high gain, and (fake) synth. This instrumental is the result!

This was a different challenge than what I’m used to. Instead of using a humbucker-equipped guitar for the high gain tones, I wanted to try and roll back the tone knob and use a different amp model than what I’m used to. How did it turn out?
The NeuralDSP plugins have been the backbone of my guitar tone for several years now. I’ve had the luxury of mixing and matching them to find the exact tones I need for each song. So when writing this song, I wanted to see how much I could do with just one plugin. Using the guitar to synth converter in the Archetype Rabea plugin was a new experience and was a blast to experiment with.
The end result turned out to be such a vibe. A little different than the songs I’ve been making but I love it all the same
