Archetype: Abasi
The sonic possibilities of Archetype: Abasi are as vast and genuine as the artist who inspired it.
Overview
True innovation is extremely rare.
It requires courage and creativity to be genuine. Tosin spectacularly embodies this rare combination of traits.
His seamless incorporation of unusual techniques, monstrous creativity, and unforeseen technical proficiency have made him one of the most distinct and iconic guitarists of our generation.
Distilling Tosin’s sonic vision into a single plugin has been an incredible challenge, but the results are as spectacular and unique as the artist who inspired it.
We proudly present you, Archetype: Abasi.
Pre Effects
Pathos is a lead channel in pedal form: it can provide additional attack to the higher gain heads, as well as being an additional high gain channel when stacked with the clean amplifier. Logos is Tosin’s secret weapon: a special compressor that adds punch and size to his unique thump technique.
Amps
At the core of Archetype: Abasi are three unique amplifiers meticulously designed from the ground up with Tosin to cover the entire sonic range his versatile and unique music requires.
The effects and cabsim modules perfectly complement and expand the possibilities of the virtual amplifiers, making it a powerful and inspiring tool for guitarists looking to craft their own voice.
