What it does
Archetype: Rabea X was made with Rabea Massaad and stands out for its built-in Overlord monosynth, which Neural DSP calls the first of its kind in a commercial guitar plugin.
- Overlord synth: lets a guitarist play synthesizer sounds without a keyboard or MIDI programming.
- Amps: a Clean with modern chime, a Rhythm that runs from edge-of-breakup to high gain, and a modern high-gain Lead.
- Effects: dual compressor, octaver, fuzz and overdrive before the amp; stereo delay and a reverb with freeze after, plus transpose and doubler.
- Cabinets: six virtual microphones with Neural DSP impulse responses and custom IR loading.

When to use it
Choose it for hard rock and modern rock guitar where you also want a synth layer triggered from the guitar, which the other artist suites don't offer in this form. Its clean-to-lead range also covers straightforward rock rhythm and lead work.
