Steve Vai Archetype in the works?

So, I was watching a recent interview with Steve on YouTube and he mentioned that his favorite Jose Arredondo modded Marshall head was over in Finland being used to create a plugin.

My instant thought was “Is Neural creating a Vai plugin?” I don’t think it is a far stretch to believe this could be happening. Are there any other Finland based companies besides Neural that could be working on this?

I absolutely LOVED his old Marshall sound and would buy that just on nostalgia alone. :slight_smile:

Could also be ML Sound Lab. They are based here in Finland too. Very interesting news! :slightly_smiling_face:

He did mention, about a year ago, that he was working with Neural DSP on a plugin: https://youtu.be/3iHhe9C9kYs?si=PvHEy_g2VtmU7SX3&t=149

That’s amazing that he confirmed it in the video too. A lot of these guys have embraced digital for some time anyway; Vai’s had Synergy and Fractal stuff working side by side for a while, Petrucci has been a Fractal guy forever along with his Mesa analog stuff, Satch is now heavily invested in Tonex and EJ apparently adopted the Tonemaster Pro when it came out. Let’s hope an Archetype: Vai makes an appearance then!
