Hey guys, I’m Rabea. I'm the lead guitarist in Toska, Frog Leap & Dorje where I write music, make songs and have a great time with my mates.

You hero ❤️
It would be amazing to have the Archetype plugins within the hardware of the Quad Cortex.
You will be able to use the stuff in the plugins you own sometime after release of the QC (it's what they said multiple times).
@@normal.username I've only seen a few videos about it, so that's nice to know.
@@void870 I've seen it said in forum threads and on discord, don't know if it was ever on video
@@normal.username Well, that explains why I never heard it haha
Wow, that Strat sound is KILLER!
You got yours coming out later I hope ?? For us Classic Clean amp Fellas or Hellas
unlikely collaboration should become a reality
@@musicalendeavour7690 I second that
Paul your a kemper user , I would be interested to see a quad cortex in your hands, and your thoughts on the capturing and fx between a quad vs kemper.
How did you not get one!?
Thanks so much for tuning in guys! I hope you're as hyped as I am! Those who are getting one of these bad boys... you will NOT be disappointed!
Honestly this is my first real outing with a modeller. I've used other stuff in the past but this is the first opportunity to deep dive with it and learn what modelling is all about. It's VERY different to dialling in an amp, and I had to learn that before I realised how incredible this device is. not just for the modelling, but all the other bells and whistles....
I can totally see how guys like Misha, Plini, Meshuggah and all those guys use modellers for their tones. Colour me impressed!
I tried to show off the fact that QC is capable on any tones. I love the strat tones I’ve achieved and the rest sound awesome!
Hope you enjoy the different tones I've dialled in. I'm only scratching the surface in this video but there's plenty more to come!
Let me know what you guys think of the tones you heard below!
Hey Rabea, been a huge fan of yours for a while I’m also probably gonna get your course. I was wondering if you and neural have been think about an archetype Rabea??? That would be sick!
I'm a fan of you man. I love your feeling on guitar ! What is your guitar on the part "The best preset ever!" ?
Sounds amazing. What do you tune your baritone to?
Maybe a video about how to dial in a modeller ? I never get a modeller to sound great...
@@matthieulety8691 Mayones Regius Core Classic. Yes. It's Gorgeous.
Gotta know man how long until Archetype: Rabea😋
You sir read my mind...I'd buy that in a heartbeat...👍🏾👍🏾
OOOOOOH!! Now there is a great idea!!
I'm on board with this
First stereo amp archetype! Would be awesome!
Think this is what everyone wants. It would be the most versatile archetype out there.
Great vid Rabea! It’s interesting to watch everyone’s take, and I’m learning new things from each video.
the best part is that Tele! Omg! its stunning
Your heavy baritone riffs were jaw dropping, wow!!! Serious head banging here!! Awesome demo with various styles, I enjoyed this a lot!!
Damn! Might have to get this if Afrotype: BEA doesn't come out this year.
I was sure Archetype: BEA was gonna be their new plugin. Very disappointing that it was Gojira
@@iann8733 You're probably one of very very few that are disappointed abt archetype gojira
@@SrgntSprnkls77 havent tried it, but I love all their plugins. So soundwise, I wouldn't be disappointed. I am disappointed because I was expecting Archetype: Bea, not Gojira.
I'm so happy to see how happy this makes you. That toxic synth preset... I had no idea it could do that.
It’s not new. Helix can do this as well. You can download patches for complete songs, where you switch synth chords with you feet. But the wifi and app possibilities lift this box up for me.
@@barthaande893 didn't know helix did that, thanks! For me, the interface for this thing also takes it up a notch.
HolyF00k - that's some awesome$hit!
I could listen to your guitar playing forever! I love it! The tone with that strat is absolutely amazing! I never have any of mine tuned in Eb but it's absolutely wonderful!
This is so sick!
Your playing makes it absolutely insane!
This magic box leaves me speechless! Besides your playing, Bea! Lovin it!
was waiting for this vid, im not disappointed , it sounds good, great demo, thank you
Amazing sounds. We're living in the best times for digital modelling.
Incredible. All the tones are stellar! Your playing...just wow.
OMG I might be retiring my Zoom 505 II after seeing this!
🤣🤣
nope , get boss gt-5 instead😂
Fantastic video Rabea! I preordered this some time early last year (well it feels that long ago)...and this makes me feel very relieved and super excited. I really appreciate your comments on the "feel thing" as that is very important. That strat sounded so killer too! Way to go!! Thank you.
You are definitely my fav guitarist you never cease to satisfy with your riffs
Already excited for Grinding Gears, Vol. 4
So much respect for this man....For all the videos....For all the inspiration over the years. A man on his own path.
Three videos so far all reveal that this hits it out of the park. Sounds alive, no awful harsh overtones, really amazing. Thank you!
You have inspired me to pick up my guitar countless times throughout 2020. It's been the biggest year of growth in my playing. Thanks.
Amazing tones and killer device! Great video Rabea!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve been waiting so patiently for this vid! 😂
Killer Rabea ..Fully excited about this. Great breakdown !!!
15:21 though... man I FELT THAT! Rabea, love you’re style of playing. 🎸
Necromangust! I am sold! Thanx Bea, amazing device and presentation!
Bea, the vibe in your gear room is goals... 100%.
This might be the greatest demo of anything I've ever heard. Damn 🔥👌🎶
stoked to jump on this. appreciate the quick in depth video
Insanity to the absolute max - thanks Bea completely awesome as usual
Great video, can't wait to get my hands on the Quad Cortex! Your guitars look amazing as well!
i can not wait!!!
awesome demo intro Rabea
I have been waiting for THIS review!!
Most exciting demo I’ve ever seen! Brilliant playing, brilliant product! Loved the strat settings so will be spending time in that preset when the box arrives. But the toxic synth... oh wow
Great Review Rabea, as always! That Fender tone is very sweeet!
Ok Neural DSP get me my Tier 1 Pre-order!!!! I am soooo ready now. Thanks for the awesome video Radea. Looking forward to many more.
The best preset ever had some serious Pink Floyd vibes. Love it, sounded absolute killer! Great playing as usual Rabea!
Thank you ! At last a video that doesn’t only demonstrate heavily distorted “recto” type sounds. Clean tones and “edge of breakup” tones are more telling to the ear. This unit sounds GREAT. 👍🏻
Great demo- nice to hear some clean tones- cant wait for mine!
I think Rabea has possibly one the most distinct pick tones. No matter what he plays, the hear the smooth edge of a thick pick. Almost like the old thick shiny purple plastic Dunlops.
Hahah I use Dunlop too. Maybe it’s the Dunlop thing!
I’ve been waiting for your video on this thing forever and Im super impressed, but DAMN that Mayones is gorgeous!
Between you and Pete Thorn's vid, just WOW!!! Great stuff gentlemen, great stuff.
Ok, this video is ridiculous. I can't get enough of your playing.
Its really something else. His technique is a style all his own.
@@raysmetaltracks6782 its really not.
@@andy_182 Yes, it really is.
@@raysmetaltracks6782 nah. typical shred
@@andy_182 Funny comming from a guy who posts Blink 182 covers, also 90% of the video is not shred.
Awesome... no words to describe how good that sounds... can't wait for more :-D
God that Jerry Cantrell patch sounds so frickin good. Especially the little “Man in the Box” riff.
Cheers from Texas!
Love love
Yooooo!!
Capturing.... Gigging, recording, jamming etc without swapping amps etc wow man!!
Brilliant demo!
Thanks for the enlightenment lol
God-damn. That intro was amazing.... no idea how they got those sounds. Geez... could you imagine opening a gig with that and then going into something really groovy and heavy? It would be amazing. Well done Rabea. Awesome video.
There's a lot of chat amongst modeller fans about aliasing and how the other modellers are better but everything I've heard from this thing has been very close to my experience of using real amps in the wild. Really looking forward to getting hold of one.
Wow, I really enjoyed the baritone ambient patch! I'm glad you mentioned the amp feel. That's exactly what has me considering the newest modelers.
I really enjoyed the strat tones. Thanks for the video!!!
My God that best preset ever....was soo magical and holy moly taken away by the playing as well! SOLD ME ON THIS I NEED IT NAOOOOOO!
GOOD JOB Rabea! you inspirational!
Pre-ordered a QC three weeks ago, this is the video I've been waiting for...
That toxic synth preset...immmmmennnnnnnnseeeeeee!! Fantastic playing man, I get hypnotized listening to you haha!
Great video as always! You are an amazing guitarist, but always down to earth and humble. It’s a pleasure to watch your work(and I’m not a metal guy😉)!
Beautiful playing as usual dude, unit sounds great!
Can you make a 20 minute video of the Toxic Synth preset? That way I know I'll go to sleep like a baby every night if I listen to it. It's so good!
That is pure magic
Second this one!!!!!
That smile when he dug in and ripped at the end was so beautiful
yes!!!!!
That would be stellar!
Very beautiful melodies, man. You are so good. Necro... something sounding killer
I watched the whole video with my mouth open. Fantastic demo!
That high gain tones sounds JUICY. Wow. Such inspiring tone to play with.
as always... such a sick demo... nice work Bea... Cheers...
Ok, best QC demo EVER. Jaw dropping.
This video is the reason I bought one.. cheers Rabea’.. absolutely awesome
wow. thank you Rabea. Finally a proper demo from someone who actually gets it. Great cleans, edge of breakup, ambience, heavy tones. Not just blues soloing or metal the whole time. More of this please!
@@fredriksvard2603 it’s not. I’m so happy you can play 3 power chords and call yourself a guitarist.
@@kcussrebutuemos4815 there isn't any reason to attack other guitarists. Blues players also just play three chords. It's almost as if music is just made up of chords and sounds.
It took me all of six seconds to hit the like button on this. Bea!! That intro was siiiiick 😮😮🤘🤘
I think what Neural does really well, is software. A good sound has already been there for a while, but think in terms of features how much Neural has brought to the table in such a short time:
- Mobile app to connect over wifi
- Out of the box sharing of rigs
- Touch screen
- Very intuitive UI
- Neural capture of amps and pedals
And not to mention that the hardware innovation behind the rotary switches ( even tho this also has some implications, think of repair costs if you actually break one ), are solving one problem that other's have struggled to solved: Being able to easily tinker with knobs on all your blocks.
You have to also appreciate the mastermind behind the marketing strategy. At this point, it doesn't even matter if the cortex doesn't sound as good as the Axe FX or Kemper. People will just buy it because they are seeing their favorite artists hyping them up.
Great job Neural! Looking forward to the software updates you guys will surely provide to this monster.
Edit: Forgot to mention Adam Nolly "Getgood" being involved in this company. This is someone with extensive knowledge in the industry about how things are supposed to feel and sound, pouring their knowledge into making this product better.
Every time I hear you noodle I get inspired. Great review too!
My eyes rolled back into my head with the lead tone
Oh man! I can’t wait to play with your presets!
Ordered mine a few weeks ago! I`m currently rocking an Axe-Fx III, can`t wait to compare both units! Love your vids man, keep it up!
LOVE IT!! and till the next one..Peace Rabea
Love the review! Good job.
Thanx Bea!!!
Rabea I love you man your music your videos with Andertons I just can't get enough
thanks for the deep dive, this unit is mind blowing, amazing new features especially that Synth Preset and artificial free Pitch Shift sets a new industry reference
"Jerry Can't Tell"! That's so clever. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these units!
Freakin awesome. I enjoyed this video and your tunes.
Finally we have more sound from the fx section ! ... Insane :)
Beautiful tones and playing
Thanks Rabea, I am speechless. Why did this take so long to become a manifestation in this material realm! I've pretty much missed the boat being 70+. I have reason enough to be pissed!! But I caste those numb thoughts away, I still have a lot more juice left to splurge on. But in truth, it was the Neural Quad Core that extracted the nectar from me and my thanks and gratitude go to these committed geniuses who put their money where their mouth is, who despite the massive potential backlash, (which has begun with a vengeance) and that has now triggered a massive major debate in the guitar universe, .......I'd still be wishing on a dream! Wishing that my fingers could somehow extract tones and melodies on to which I could latch and fly on into my dreams.
We may not like all the tones and presets in fact we may like far less than the abundance of presets that are available. Remember, the secret is to listen, listen to the subtle tones flittering around and within the more dominant harmonics and frequencies that ebb and flow around you. Allow yourself to be drawn by subtle and sometimes brutal waves of magical harmonic content, but remember....... you have to listen..... listen intently.
You will hear, you will hear the incredible depths of the chimes placed deep within the choral strains, while the dwindling refrains of the delay draw one ever deeper into the hallowed halls of sounds, harmonics and frequencies. The slowly vanishing reverbs yearns to return before a new strike of the strings ushers forth more and more beautiful spaces into which I can loose myself and find my freedom within a symphony and sea of vibrations and phenomenal harmonic sweetness while silver mercurial notes droop from my finger tips attached with flowing satin threads to my finger tips. The nectar, the creative life forces awaiting my next musical command!
If you have the good fortune to be a guitar player and to deny yourself the opportunity to frolic with the intense beauty and magic of sound that the Quad Cortex, then I pity you, you have foregone the unique opportunity to experience, without doubt, the most remarkable audio devices to ever hit this realm.
Caveat: Please, you don't have to believe me. Just go and get it and thank me later.
Love it man!!!🔥
Can't wait for March to finally get mine 🙌🏻🙌🏻
love your strat presets - awesome insights thanks
I really feel that DSP has come the final way to send the message to us all...inspirational!! Thank you so much for the toxic s!!
I can’t tell you how many times I had to restrain myself from buying the Helix, but this thing? Man!! The strat sound was epic! Thanks mate for the demo.
Bea...this rewiew it's awesome. Great Great work, my hype is a +10
Magic starts from 14:39 ))
What an awesome video! The future is now, lol!
Can't wait for Your captures!
Incredibly tasty playing (as always) and awesome sound. I have already ordered one before chrismas. Now I hardly can´t wait to get it.
Such good playing over those chord changes
Thank you for the clean tones tested here! Cheers mate!
Sounds amazing, great vid as always Bea, i was looking at the Synergys, but i think i’d be more leaning towards this now
Those Strat tones...!!! Amazing!
Sheeeeesh that toxic synth preset is the ultimate mood music. I could listen to that for hours
I was super impressed with those strat tones
Solo at the start was really cool, reminded me of Rainbow era Richie Blackmore 👍
Nice Job! ... Love the facial expressions!
Finally a good overview of the tones! Now I might buy get one...
That strat clean tone is heavenly. M getting one fr sure.
Love all your content dude!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Sounds sick! thanks for sharing!
That was some killer riffs. Thanks
You are a very good guitarist and I love the way you try effects. This multi-effects pedal is amazing and has beautiful sounds. obviously in your hands and all so magical because you are a true master
Great vid and what looks like a tremendous product
