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. I also have my own line of guitars with Chapman Guitars, and I’ve designed numerous products with some really cool companies, such as the Victory Amps VX Kraken. Anyway, i hope you enjoy my videos, thank you for watching!

Firstly, was so great to see you, I realised most of the time we’ve been together I’ve been drunk! (I might be drunk now ;) Its a genuine honour to build your rig, I’m overwhelmed by your musicality, your vision, your sound, beyond inspiring. I wish everyone guitar player could experience what it’s like being in the room with you when you play. I know I use this word a lot, but you sir, are truly awesome
SheepDog ah, cheers mate 🤓🙏🙏🙏
❤️❤️❤️ so much love for you guys! Thank you so much for making this rig come to life AGAIN! You already did it once. It’s already opened up so many more musical doors. So thanks for that!
@@RabeaMassaad no more 18 months between collaboration with TPS. These two vids were amazeballs.
I've already watched the TPS episode 3 times, the sounds are some of the best I've ever heard. All of you deserve a pat on the back for this joint creation, at a time when we all need as much positive energy as we can get. Much respect.
Man, to be drunk in a room with Dan, Mick, Rabea, and 1,000 musical toys... that's the dream.
I know its small but you playing the chalk teeth riff in the beginning was super nostalgic for some reason
Wow. I just finished watching your episode on That Pedal Show. Now this. Perfect sir. Thanks Bea!
If this doesn't make you want to pick up your guitar and experiment with sounds I don't know what will. Awesome board. I'm loving the Jack White/Third Man Plasma Coil.
When he steps into the Synth-1 sounds, I literally started thinking to myself "Yo, Mick Gordon and Bea should collab on the next Doom soundtrack." And then he said it had exactly that kind of vibe.
It should happen. It needs to happen.
Bea: I'm still getting used to it...
Translated: This isn't even his final form...
I mean, he was good a decade ago, he was bloody awesome 5 years ago, now he's on another level altogether, and he's still only 30. Where is he going to be in another decade? What is 60-year-old Rabea on the verge of collecting his pension going to be like? I have no idea, other than that it will never be uninteresting! I'm just glad to be along for the ride...
His hair and eyes will turn silver and heat waves will shimmer as they emanate from his body when he achieves ultra instinct, don't worry you'll see.
That’s the video I was waiting for since I’ve been introduced to Toska and I loved Bea’s tunes and tones.
Actually it would be awesome to see an episode of Sound Like Toska on Andertons channel also.
This would be it..BY busting the bank.
Chapman ML-3 Standard Modern - £449
Digitech Drop - £94
EHX Nano Pog - £166
Mr Black Thunderclaw - £179
Boss Katana Artist Mk2 - £569
£1459 and you can use the tone studio to get all of the delays, reverbs and main gain sounds. Sorted!
The end of Prayermonger is one of my most favorite progressions.
18:38 I’m actually scared, that was haunting. Amazing
Maaaan, you looks so healthy it IS a real pleasure to see you in this condition. Keep it up, fan of your playing and stuff since a long time now! Cheers
These tones are massive man! Loved hearing these with the Toska riffs too! That Prayemonger clean outro riff is still one of the best things I’ve heard.
Illumo! My number 1 Toska song. If I could steal only one guitarists skills and never be able to steal another, I know who it would be... At least you'll still have drums.
I still remember your early videos were you had this tiny Boss case with 3 Boss pedals on it, a phaser, a delay and I can't remember the other one. Crazy evolution!!
Love the tone of the vx100 its honestly the best investment ever!
JUST when I thought I'd dialed in a distortion that I'm happy with, you come in with 5:50 🤯🤯🤯 😂 I need to buy an eq or compression pedal or _something_ ...Sheesh...
Kodiak Wild face melting tones
These videos are an absolute curse sometimes arent they lmao. Back in the days before UA-cam it was so much easier to be happy with what you got lmao
Pog+Fuzz+Open Tuning
That was all Super Kraken man! Maybe try the Kraken Pre amp pedal they made? Sounds great and much cheaper! Personally I prefer getting all my gain tones from my amp. And pushing them with a good overdrive!
@@justinneafsey5990 after years of pedals ( the most recent was the pricey and long traveling from China _jackhammer_ pedal by Marshall I got through Amazon a coupla years ago, and I was so SURE that was going to be the one, but after going through all the setting permutations, all I use it for now is a light classic rock-y overdrive 😂 ) ....anyway, I've gone back to my old Ibanez SM7 Smashbox, and I like the characteristics...it's just missing that tight middy "modern" crunch...although, I wouldn't really call it modern, because I was playing drums in hardcore bands with dudes who were dialing in that kind of tone 20 years ago.
The Soul of Rabea is his Guitar, like The Soul of a Samurai is his Sword.
16:10-16:47 was just MENTAALLLL
WOW 😁 ..rabea talk about the world at your feet. That some board 👍👏👏 .. 🎸🔉🎵
Wow unbelievable sounds man! These pedals just take everything into the sound design realm and I love that, it makes me want pedals again! Thanks for the video dude!
There you go with sound again. Get's me every time.
Im really looking forward to the new toska stuff🙏 stay safe man
When I first saw your board in this video I said why you need all these pedals? Than I realised, because of you actually CAN play on the guitar. Amazing tones! Also great screenplay, great editing!
They are as much his instrument as the guitar is. All part of the system. You can't do what he does with amp reverb, an analogue modulation and one overdrive.
11:04 omg those ambient pad swells give just an incredible sound!
The Synth expression pedal is wild and I just love your tone, especially your cleans.
17:19 wow what was that!? That was the best sounding chord I've ever heard.
Amazing stuff, it's a rare thing to walk a fine line between ambient music and crushing modern metal, inspiring truly, even for an old git like me...
One of the coolest pedal boards I've ever seen. What I like a lot about it is that each pedals have a sound of their own and the magic is strong with this one.
The ambient tones are just mindblowing! Pure beauty!
2 days in a row of Rabea pedalboard madness! I’m in heaven
Holly shit this first basic Toska sound .... amazing. I will be trying to reproduce that on Helix all night...
The key element of the pedalboard is the Nike sock Rabea is wearing. Great tone!
No RigDoctor's around. Nice.
Great sound, great build, great pedalboard and the most important, wonderful guitar player.
Spent an hour building a digital board in software just so I could mess around with volume after watching that pedal show at 2 in the morning this morning. Too amazingly awesome.
Rabea you are a genius and a huge inspiration for guitar players all around the world. Love your videos, love Toska, keep it going!
Any percussive single note riff with the Lairy Octave Awesomeness patch is instant gurn face and gives me major Cleft vibes.
looking Good and sounding Good Rabea! getting fit and fitting pedals on that board!! cheers from New England!
How crazy this board is and how it serve your soul beautifully. I hope I'll could see toska live one day after the lock-down. This would be cool for sure.
"Basically, just a whole load of intensity." Yea man, you play it well!
Stay healthy and come play a show in Arizona someday!
Synth pedal at 19:09 sounds massive af. That rifff my gooood.
i love your tones man, i also love you doing demos in your socks. it makes it feel like we're just hanging out. i know some people feel it's unprofessional, but in this case i think it really works. provided your socks aren't as filthy as your tones i think it's all good, lol!
That bit from 11:10 is immense, please make a whole song like that, especially with the more clean tones.
Bea: Awesome, brutally beautiful board - expect nothing less from you man. But gotta ask - know from the TPS show episode that you mentioned you don't like/use noise gates. Your board during the highest gain settings does appear to generate a lot of background hiss, even with pickup volume silenced. How are you handling that, both recording and live?
Absolutely love the ambient sound at 12 minutes. Sounds like thunder in the background !
Volante +expression pedal =rabbit hole!
I can watch this over and over..
Siiiiiiiiick tones as usual man. Hope you're staying safe amidst all this pandemic craziness. Rock on dude 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Edit: those synth sounds are massive! Can't wait to see what you do with them
This was awesome, please make another video soon with this haha. Cheers from Minnesota!
Just sounds fucking phenomenal, simple as.
What an amazing and inspiring videos !! This video was my motivation to improve and upgrade my pedalboard. After months of experimenting I have made a huge step toward your tones 😄 this was mainly thanks to using the IR of the Victory Kraken 4x12. I used an SM57 and Ribbon 121 using more or less the same philosophy of positioning than you (in the cabM video) and man, how awesome my rig has become. I used to have goose bumps listening to you playing, now I have goose bumps listening to myself playing 😝 !!! I will never thank you enough, I never thought I would be capable of understanding IRs and Miking, power amp valves and combining the right effects and here I am today. I definitely entered a new dimension as a guitar player and as a Metal guitar Fan 🤘🏻
Probably one of the most compelling cases for a synth pedal that I have seen.
Rabea, that pedalboard is excessive, indulgent, and way over the top. I love it.
Hahahaha - I believe you’ve been commenting for a long while, so I know you’ve seen where this started! Thanks so much haha, but yeah, the thing for me is always ‘well.... why not?!” I just don’t feel excited to find all the same sounds in a multi FX. But yeah I agree with what you said! And I love it too!
Sounds absolutely amazing. Everything I’d ever need
The clean pass around 10:00 would make for a great lesson. How do you choose your chord voicings/fingerings/what are you looking for tonally?
Best tones around, man. Your work is inspirational.
that pedal board is sick as hell. thanks dan and mick
Holy shit dude! Some of those tones are absolutely brutal!!!! Sounds killer, plus, who doesn't love a new board!!!
Very Toolesque intro 😝🤘🏻🎸 !!! Awesome inspiring video !! OMG the high gain tone 😱🤩🤪How awesome that it was done by That Pedal show guys. I was always scared and impressed by the pedals world and these guys demystified it !! It made me start my own Pedalboard. I am buying little by little pedals (to not upset my wife) but I am almost there 😝 I am getting everyday closer to my personal dream tones. Keep inspiring us guys 🤘🏻
Epic top level board and sounds dude, and the musicality to harness the potential, thanks for sharing :)
No words bro...Just stunning! Absolutely amazing!
Ur music are just amazing Rabea. Its full of emotion from start to end. Thank u for the music, as Abba would have said 💪😉
Incredible tones, savage riffs, sweet leads .... hearing some lovely satch influences as well 👍
Dude that board is SICK!!! Im so jealous!!! Lol. Awesome job man!
You're genius, my friend
Dammmmmm that’s a beast of a board. Good lord son lol. Can’t get better then that right there. Thanks for sharing.
Its soooo good man!.
Nice to watch you guys build it on Dan & Micks channel as well. :)
The never ending tone.
I better come over to your house when this 19 is all over, with my stuff
To teach me how to fly a mother ship....i keep crashing mine lol......
Be safe stay healthy
Insane rig Bea!!!!! Can’t wait to hear the sounds in context!
Great stuff, you have really inspired me to experiment with ambient sounds. Still the most inspiring guitarist on the web in my opinion 😎
Incredible. Inspired. Perfect. Wow.
That was Awesome! Absolutely Immense sounds!
Outrageous quite frankly. Absolutely stunning tones and great playing as always. Just got your (original) sig baritone and am loving it but my wee setup just doesn't do it justice.
Rabea + ambient = eargasm
oh my life that synth expression patch
outstanding
That synth sound at 19:00 reminds me of Compound by Alluvial, so sick.
I immediately thought about the beginning of Change by Karnivool
Fantastic outcome from a 5-Star build! In future vids, would love seeing y'all approximate this signal chain with your modeller(s) of choice. Cheers from WA state in the days of Covid-19. Thanks, D.
An amazing collection of sounds and tones.May i ask what you use for that'ambient pad swirl'?It's what i think space should sound like....and with that thunderclaw it sounds like aliens trying to communicate.
wow haha I bet those little boxes can keep you busy for a while! :D
Great to have the power you want over the noises!
15:00 reminds me soo much of Steve Vai, incredible vai-be ;). All of them are such incredible tones :).
Not to discount anything else, but this tuner is just adorable)
Massive tone as always and loads of creativity.
So inspiring. 🎸🔊👍
Hope to see you on stage when all this virus crap will be gone.
Has to be the 'posh-ist' board I've ever seen... awesome 😳👏👏
So sick. Excellent video, you were excellent on TPS too
What a beast of a board!!! Awesome bud
dude this is mental. loving it!
Best tones ever.
I've been obsessed with this video since it dropped. so far Ive added the Volante and boss OC5 to my board. I might go with the boss sy1 over the pog though. I'd love to see an updated video on what you've changed with the board since this and what you've learned about it.
Great pedalboard and video the the tone guys!
Someone please try to recreate all tones from this video in Ax8 or Helix haha :)
Hey Rabea! I think this rig is an absolute monster! its perfect for your diverse play style and complicated combinations of effects. I think it would be dope if you did some stuff with the Strymon Volante tape echo effect in combination with the Plasma coil. I know it's not on your board, but it would be awesome to hear the Ryan Adams DEFCON 4 from Walrus Audio in conjunction with your board. Much love bro. Stay indoors and make some sick jams!
Hey man, totally appreciate the kind words!
Just to say, the EB-10 from walrus is exactly the same design as the defcon 4 but it’s programmable as well. My guess would be walrus changed things up after all that stuff with him went on.
Asking the Fro what it thought of Spinal Tap? Great sounds with your new board man, looking forward to hearing new Toska!
We have the same ticks with our mouths when playing, haha! Awesome board, man!
Hey Rabea, just about every time I hear the end of prayermonger I start to cry, that shit really does something to me, that being said awesome pedalboard!!! hope to run into you again sometime soon (we talked for a minute at the Dallas clinic a while back)
Fantastic board and build. Congrats!
hi Rabea!)) on 17:52-18:34 very beatiful music thank you)) gl!
Illumo!!!!
Beautiful build and sounds. More mad synth please 🤟🏼
That guitar is fucking gorgeous.
Thunderclaw!
All the best (& expensive) pedals on 1 giant pedalboard.
Dude! That’s all sick! Would love to see the front panel of the amp too :)
Nice, that must have cost ya a few quid? I need that, but all in one box...lol great video, awsome playing...
