We've got the Fortin NTS which is an awesome plugin, but I'm with you. As soon as I saw they'd done a Rabea plugin, all I could think was I wanted to see an Archetype Ola or something like that. Maybe get his heads like his Badlander, and some of the other gear he uses regularly.
Ola and Rabea bring two completely different tastes. To hear Ola play Rabea's tones took my ears on a field trip, in an amazing way. I loved hearing Ola's playing style, through a Rabea filter. 🤯
Just bought it... totally blown away! Here I am stuck to an old peavey red stripe looking for that melodic 80s sound for years... fun times ahead for sure with this plug in! ❤
This is probably THE most innovative and refreshingly new approach to possible guitar tones thus far technologically IMO. Here I've been all this time attempting to use analog pedals and tube preamps for direct to interface recording due to the inherent stigma of one supposedly being "better" than the other! Just Wow! Definitely an epiphany moment personally overall! This plugin is a genuine freakin' GAME CHANGER IMO! I can't wait to take full advantage of it's capabilities! Absolutely brilliant! Bravo!
2 years ago I came across Rabea playing the signature Chapmans and I really loved the look and sound of the ML-Pro Baritone. Went and tried it out and for $1000 it is an absolute beast. The branded pickups sound almost on par with Fluence pickups and the neck is buttery smooth, action is low but not to the point of heavy buzz. It came very well set up. The combination of these things led me to believe Rabea has some real integrity with what he promotes.
I'm about to purchase this at some point today. Rabea has been in my top 5 guitarist I've been listening to for the past 5 + years. He has such a unique approach to his writing and playing 🤘💯
Love it. My first guitar synth. This & Tim Henson make me happy. I especially love that even the most far out & psychedelic is instantly transferable to a live gig with Quad Cortex!
Somehow I missed this video until just now, but I'm thrilled you're checking it out! I'm going to make the purchase when Neural DSP has their next sale, haha. I fell in love with the synth and the pitch shifter. Rabea rips!!
When I first discovered Rabea, I was blown away by his musicianship! When I heard of the plug-in I had to check it out. Plenty of fun!! Haven’t decided if I wanna buy the full version yet but definitely considering it!!
i admit, this plugin is very convincing. especially the synth part is knockin it. seems to work flawless too, which isnt always the case with the guitar to synth solutions. i can tell you that as an owner of the fishman midi system. and you dont need a midi pickup here. the presets are giving an impression about the possiblities. well done. well done ola too of course
Rabea is a tone monster! I actually discovered him through the cover songs. His playing on the cover of Africa and the solo are awesome! If it wasn't for Rabea then I wouldn't know who Neural DSP was. I wish this community was around when I started playing guitar. There was so much in fighting with the people who played when I was growing up. You either had to be a Metallica guy or a Megadeth guy. I liked both bands so I got weird looks or insults. After that, just stuck with myself.
Ok the synthesizer stuff is really sick like holy shit. Sounds like they really nailed the tracking on it and it responds to bends and stuff nicely. So many cool sound opportunities!
Dear Neural DSP. Ola Englund is the best candidate for a new plugin. He is a young Swedish guy with beautiful long hair, he knows metal and how to chug. What more do you need?
Ola looks awesome whenever he does videos in this room because the fan makes him look like a norse god with the way the music overlaps the bellowing hair
Ola GREAT and great Thanks. Please make also a video about everything in connection with IRs. How to incorporate them in your Guitar Plug In/DAW. How do IR Players work. Where to get a player at a reasonable price. I know you once had short vid about IR, but for newbies in this field like me it is still something to learn about. And you are still the most competent guy out there in this whole universe to explain it to total nerds.🤘THX a lot
Was awesome seeing you get into it. I have it & love it and have barely scratched the surface on what it can do. PS WE NEED AN OLA & RABEA COLLABORATION at some point! You guys are my favorite two guitarists! I'd love to hear what you two do together!
14:22 El risitas! Ola, you should do a reaction video to him and Jesús. Besides this, great review, man. You had a great time and it shows, also your faces here are top notch :D
The most important feature here is the guitar to midi converter, it's the best Ive seen so far. They should release it as a standalone plugin so that it can be used with real synths as part of the signal chain. The built in synth is really limited and more of a gimmick The fuzz pedal is also pretty neat, the rest is whatever
@@auberginedreams00 You can't. They mean that the plugin takes your guitar signal, turns it into midi and then feeds it to the plugin's synth so you can play with that component. They have some nice guitar to midi tech going on inside this plugin but it's not accessible beyond it.
If that synth can capture all of the notes and turn it into a midi file you could use on other vst instruments. That would save so much time trying to record solo if not harmony parts on keyboards.
after hearing alot of amp plugins, im starting to warm up and open to the idea of using these more often. I use a Trusty RP155 amp modeler and a audio interface and it has served me well. the demos have started to chang my mind of just going straight into the computer using my audio interface
That’s all I do for recording mate. I have a more entry level setup but I just plug my guitar straight into my Scarlett solo into my MacBook and use plugins on my DAW. Been messing around with the ML sound labs stuff and it’s great! For the budding bedroom producer it’s the simplest way for me 👌🏼👌🏼
Great sounding plugin. However, I assume it is converting audio to MIDI to control the synth so if they added the ability to send MIDI out to other synths and samplers, that would really put it over the top.
I think it is possible to control other synths (at least in the DAW itself) Rabea showed it somewhere in his deep dive on his channel if I remember correctly
I absolutely thought you were about to play the theme for the Diablo video game when you tried out the Whale Tones. Great review of this awesome new plug in.
OLA! Hi 👋🏼 The Rabea plugin presets sounds great. You always nail down great riffs and tones. I always come to your channel for the chug’s and dad jokes.
7:03 - Sounds like a Sunn O))) preset! Seriously though, it's incredible how well the synth tracks. I don't think I've ever heard a synth pedal track half as well as that does.
I did the 10 day trial, I call it a cool synth plug in with some fair amp plugins. I have the Soldano by Neural and that amp sounds better, JMO. Still cool.... I'll maybe buy it when it goes on sale.
Thank you so much for checking it out dude! ❤️❤️❤️ awesome :)
The synth with the arpeggiator is such a cool feature. Love it.
Now you just need an "Approved for chugging" stamp added
Rabea!!! Whussup dude
The synth sold me. Easily my favorite Archetype Neural has done.
We NEED a Rabea + Ola collaboration sometime! My two favorite guitarists!!
10:16 legit best riff Ola ever came up with \,,/
He really knows what his fans like (shitty memes) because there definitely wasn't one decent metal riff in this whole joke of a video.
@@MichaelDespairs 🤓🤓🤓
Ola should perform at Shambala Festival with this riff 🥳
does sound like a dance rave
@@MichaelDespairs show us on the doll where Ola hurt you…
The day they release an Ola plug-in i'm gonna buy it for sure !! Cause it's gonna be the best one for metal for sure !!!
For sure
Ola's Tonex Rig/Profiles would be the best instead...
I think that might basically be the Fortin NTS Suite plugin
We've got the Fortin NTS which is an awesome plugin, but I'm with you. As soon as I saw they'd done a Rabea plugin, all I could think was I wanted to see an Archetype Ola or something like that. Maybe get his heads like his Badlander, and some of the other gear he uses regularly.
Do you mean an ola chug-in
Ola and Rabea bring two completely different tastes. To hear Ola play Rabea's tones took my ears on a field trip, in an amazing way. I loved hearing Ola's playing style, through a Rabea filter. 🤯
Are you serious? I watched the whole video and all the riffs were terrible. Are you really listening or just fangirling?
The Archetype Ola is gonna be immaculate
Maaan, these amp sims have come sooo far since the old podfarm days. Really need to try out these synths and crazy lead sounds, seems inspiring!
pod is still gnarly, just needs quality impulse responses
I'm sort of new to this, what program are these amp aims on?
@@dimebag77 They come as both a standalone program and as a VST plugin to be used in a DAW of your choice.
Just bought it... totally blown away! Here I am stuck to an old peavey red stripe looking for that melodic 80s sound for years... fun times ahead for sure with this plug in! ❤

God Ive been WAITING for this. You always nail these demos and Rabea just always has good tones. I’m BEYOND excited to watch this, thank you Ola!!!!!!

Half of the video and I'm already in love with this plug-in ... Those presets are so juicy
Love it. My first guitar synth. This & Tim Henson make me happy. I especially love that even the most far out & psychedelic is instantly transferable to a live gig with Quad Cortex!
Except its not.
Never before has a fan worked so well with a plug-in
Honestly this ome impressed me the most, it honestly gives you the most variety out of any plug in ive used, immediately my favourite plug in
I was waiiiiittiinngg, hooopppiingg for Brother Ola to rip out the Pantera Floods solo on that Synth!
I've been waiting for this video since the release of the plugin ! 🔥
Somehow I missed this video until just now, but I'm thrilled you're checking it out! I'm going to make the purchase when Neural DSP has their next sale, haha. I fell in love with the synth and the pitch shifter. Rabea rips!!

@6:46 LOVE THE FAN BLOWING YOUR HAIR .... very epic 80's rock of you.

I just won this plugin in a drawing, I love every bit of it!
Ola is now a true Swed!! He has a synth in his metal!
Ola is my favorite guitar UA-cam’r, Rabea is my favorite modern guitarist
I mean, I was happy when they added the tuner. This looks insane.
Ok the synthesizer stuff is really sick like holy shit. Sounds like they really nailed the tracking on it and it responds to bends and stuff nicely. So many cool sound opportunities!
Ola is being physically and mentally blown away in the video
You know it's good when Ola is just having fun playing through the presets.
Rabea, straight up, plays his ass off. Stellar guitar player.
There is plenty of Room for Clean Airy Tones in Metal/Progressive and this seems to have it dialed right out of the box.. Nice Demo Ola.!!!
Dear Neural DSP. Ola Englund is the best candidate for a new plugin. He is a young Swedish guy with beautiful long hair, he knows metal and how to chug. What more do you need?
I just figured out SOLAR has Ola in the name.
Yo, I didn't realize that.
Looking forward to the Ola Chug Englund Neural DSP Plugin
For metal guitarists , Which one is best ???
Rabea or Petrucci ??
Funny how many youtubers claim "tone" something in their name... but Rabea is clearly a tone master.
This plug in is reason enough to use neural
I should say that is the most amazing blue finish on a guitar. Hope to see that in lefty version
All of this is SUPER cool! Thanks for sharing this with us!
I love the freeze option too 🔥🔥🔥
Ola looks awesome whenever he does videos in this room because the fan makes him look like a norse god with the way the music overlaps the bellowing hair
Great video review. This pushed me over the edge to grab this. Thanks man, you rule dude!
I never knew which plugin to choose amongst these - now I know :)
Man, I wrecked my audio interface years ago, spilt a drink on it. This demo kinda makes me want to finally replace it. Love the sounds
I think some of it sounded f'in awesome man....this is top of dsp for me,from your tests...
Reminds me of Vernon Reid of In Living Colour also with the reverb and synth. So awesome. 🤘🏾
This is the demo I've been waiting for!
Love that Blue Solar with the Roasted maple neck, Gorgeous!!!👍👌😎
Love the Eye Of The Storm solo through that preset at 06:26 ;)
That thing is insane!!! Can’t believe it sounds like that out of the box 📦
Think maybe you should have yourself bald and rock the new black curly afro, Ola!

Very Axe-fx inspired. But with it's own twists n' tastes that make you want to get it even if you think you have everything! Well done Neural!
The day they released Rabea‘s Plugin I was thinking of „when will Ola review it?“ 😁 Nice 😊

please explain how it is a gimmick lol
This is what music is about WEIRD SHIT AND NEW WORLDS TO EXPLORE!!! Rabea and Ola you are my favorites!!
This is my second viewing and I like it even more now than before♥ SOld ! I'm getting one! great demo thanks again all this and more. SOld!🍕🍺
If that synth can capture all of the notes and turn it into a midi file you could use on other vst instruments. That would save so much time trying to record solo if not harmony parts on keyboards.
Thanks brother, very classy and intriguing. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Ola, you are my favourite Swede ❤️
That "cone destroyer" is Cliff Burton's bass tone on Orion. To the T.
Your customer IR sounds heaps good mate.
14:23 I've watched this cupple of times already and always lough when I see this :D
😱 getting an Archetype Ola next? Maybe with a doubler/trippler that feeds into different amps or caps to get even more brutal sounds.
The very second i get a new interface I'm coming for this plug in.
after hearing alot of amp plugins, im starting to warm up and open to the idea of using these more often. I use a Trusty RP155 amp modeler and a audio interface and it has served me well. the demos have started to chang my mind of just going straight into the computer using my audio interface

@@kobyfitz96 good to know
Very cool, I love and have followed Rabea’s music for years. So nails the tone he gets.
Coffe with Rabea would have been awesome 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I love that guitar colour and that guitar especially !! So cooooooooooool ❤️🔥🔥
that transpose option is a game changer!!
Rabea deserved this, I think you're up next. You're always so humble and spread the love
There's nothing that they could add for an ola plugin that is not already present in petrucci granophyre Gojira etc imo
@@andrewsmall4865 agree - will also add Ola's presets on the Fortin NTS all sound amazing.
Great sounding plugin. However, I assume it is converting audio to MIDI to control the synth so if they added the ability to send MIDI out to other synths and samplers, that would really put it over the top.
VERY good point i hadnt considered that. I think youve uncovered a future little feature there
I think it is possible to control other synths (at least in the DAW itself)
Rabea showed it somewhere in his deep dive on his channel if I remember correctly
Waiting for the Archetype OLA with a burp pedal
The dolphin bleep had me in stitches...don't even know why
Absolutely INSANE!
I absolutely thought you were about to play the theme for the Diablo video game when you tried out the Whale Tones. Great review of this awesome new plug in.
OLA! Hi 👋🏼 The Rabea plugin presets sounds great. You always nail down great riffs and tones. I always come to your channel for the chug’s and dad jokes.
this is sooo awesome...informative...ty
My first guitar was that exact same blue, love it.
"One of better youtubers.." is imho low key bellow the belt punch :D
that Overlord synth...ooooh! great one
Now I have something else that I want that I didn't know that I wanted... thanks... dude.
Damn, those are some kickass tones that plugin's got!
7:03 - Sounds like a Sunn O))) preset!
Seriously though, it's incredible how well the synth tracks. I don't think I've ever heard a synth pedal track half as well as that does.
Will definitely need to add this!
Bea’s plug-in sounds awesome, but Ola’s IR just crushes!!!!!
Come on! All together... Archetype Ola! 🤟🏼🔥
That is a sick looking and sounding guitar!
Killer review- loved the EDM dance scene you included 🪩 🕺 🎉
The Synth and Freeze function on the reverb is the thing that you cannot find anywhere in guitar plugins
They need to work on the pitch bend for the synth, to say the least
*Sounds great! I definitely have to get my hands on this. Currently using STL Tones but this seems to cover guitar tones they haven’t got. Sick demo!*
at 10:20 let's get this party started!!! look at those colors NOICE
I did the 10 day trial, I call it a cool synth plug in with some fair amp plugins. I have the Soldano by Neural and that amp sounds better, JMO. Still cool.... I'll maybe buy it when it goes on sale.
Just watching your hair blow in the wind had me sold.
yup sounds like bea to me great playing ola.
Bea's ambient tones would sound awesome with a sustainiac
Ola playing Rabea, Solar and Fro, I'm a happy man
