For each Archetype plugin:

• amps and effects from different Archetype plugins cannot be combined freely in a common graphical user interface
• is a self-contained, complete system with a fixed signal processing chain
• was developed in collaboration with a renowned guitarist to faithfully reproduce their signature sound. Examples include Archetype: Nolly, Plini, Tim Henson, Gojira, and John Petrucci
• has a fixed signal chain (the order of the effect blocks cannot be changed)
• has cabinet simulation with IRs: Support for custom impulse responses (IRs), often with two microphone positions
• has artist and factory presets: Many ready-made sounds, including signature presets from artists
• has input and output controls: For level adjustment before and after processing
• has a noisegate: Integrated noise reduction

The differences between the individual Archetypes lie in their sound character, specific effects, and focus on certain genres or playing styles.

• Pickup simulation: Converts single-coil tones into fat humbucker sounds, adds P-90 characteristics or Texas twang – ideal for “swapping” pickups via software
• Body modeling: Simulates hollow or semi-acoustic guitar bodies (“hollow body”) and expands the sound space “in the box.”
• Acoustic guitar emulation: Turns an electric guitar into the sound of a dreadnought, jumbo, 000, or mini jumbo—also suitable for piezo-equipped instruments
• Post-production: Allows you to “re-guitar” after recording, so you can change the guitar type in the mix without having to re-record

Re-Guitar enables precise simulation of different pickups, body shapes, and acoustic guitar types without having to physically modify the instrument.

TwinR - Vintage Guitar Amplifier

The following can be read on the page: "From clean to overdriven, the classic one. TwinR is a faithful component-level model of one of the absolute most famous and sought-after tube guitar amplifiers in history. We modelled every single part, from guitar’s pickup (to get back the “cold” response of modern ultra-high-impedance DI channels), to preamplifier, power stage, single tubes, power supply, rectifier, transformer.

We also added our own output stage model which, based on real measurements, gives a dynamic response far superior to basic Impulse Responses, for a better playability.".

Deluxe1 - Guitar Amplifier

The following can be read on the page: "A carefully hand-crafted model of a classic vintage guitar tube amplifier. One of the simplest but, probably, most interesting tube amplifiers for guitar. ... Additional features: 28 possible combinations of microphone models and tracking positions.".

DualR

DualR is software that digitally recreates the sound of a famous high-gain guitar amplifier - inspired by the Mesa Dual Rectifier. It is a complete amplifier and cabinet simulation.

• Amplifier emulation: DualR models the amplifier at the component level, resulting in a very authentic and dynamic sound.
• Flexible sound options: It offers modes such as “Red,” “Orange,” and “Blues,” different power supplies (solid state/tube), and pickup options (vintage/modern).
• Built-in cabinet simulation: A special feature is the “sublymating” concept, which uses physical modeling of the speaker cabinet. You can choose between 27 predefined cabinet models or integrate your own impulse responses (IRs).
• Morphing between cabinets: You can load two different cabinets and switch seamlessly between them with a control knob – ideal for creative sound design.

Download of version 1.112.R2-R2R still availble on archive.org.

• Physical modeling-based amplifier simulation
• Variable custom amp technology for creating your own amplifiers
• 24 stompboxes, effects, and detailed microphone settings
• Cabinets with 10“, 12”, and 15" speakers

The plugin is not only for Rhodes pianos, but can be used universally - even for guitarists.  It gives guitar tracks analog warmth, vintage character, and sonic depth. By combining preamps, amps, and microphones, you can create authentic studio sounds that would otherwise only be achievable with expensive hardware. The flexible routing option (pre/post) and the drive circuit allow for both subtle refinement and pronounced saturation.

Ideal for studio work to make guitar tracks sound more natural, "lively" and harmonically rich. 

• Authentic suite of 6 classic vintage and modern Rhodes preamps, each with unique EQ topology
• 7 iconic amplifier models including DUO, 8015 Combo, L5, Rhodes Suitcase Cabinet, Rhodes Satellite, ACT PA, EXPR Combo
• 7 classic microphone models, including dynamic, condenser and ribbon options
• Independent Preamps and Amp/Mic sections with continuous dry/wet blending
• Integrated 3-mode Drive circuit for variable saturation and harmonic colour
• Versatile compressor with parallel mix and flexible pre/post routing
• Global EQ and reverb module for tonal enhancement and ambience
• Input gain interaction influencing circuit response and harmonic structure
• Preset management for instant recall and workflow integration
