Neural DSP Archetype Misha Mansoor X v1.0.1 [U2B] [MacOSX]

Archetype: Misha Mansoor X

The ultimate toolkit for modern metal guitar, as innovative and uncompromising as Misha himself.

Special FX

Laser

Laser pushes your guitar into new territory by transforming your signal into “laser-like” sounds. Beyond that, it unlocks a wide range of experimental textures powered by two proprietary algorithms:

Ring Modulator: Produces dissonant overtones that blend with your original signal, creating unpredictable metallic textures.

Pitch Shifter: Can run as one or two pitch shifters, opening up everything from warped harmonies to stacked intervals.

Choose from 19 Laser Presets, each triggering a different sound character. Use an expression pedal in Pedal Mode to sweep the ring mod frequency or pitch shift in real time, or switch to Envelope Mode and let your playing dynamics drive the effect.

It’s perfect for breakdowns, transitions, and experimental sections, and becomes even more powerful when combined with other effects.

Glitch

Every great rig has a wild card. The Glitch pedal is Misha’s. Built on granular processing, it chops your signal into tiny audio grains and reshuffles them into unpredictable new patterns. By changing the length, density, and pitch of these patterns, your playing is reshaped into glitch, stutter, and texturizer effects that range from chaotic to surprisingly musical, especially on clean tones.

Tempo Sync: Keeps stutter effects and glitches locked to the beat for rhythmic consistency.

Four unique modes: Pitch Delay, Sequence, Interfere, and Texturizer, covering a broad palette of granular effects.

Chaos macro: Randomizes multiple internal parameters simultaneously. At low settings, the effect remains structured and rhythmic, delivering predictable stutters and textures. Crank it up, and it generates experimental, evolving, and unpredictable granular sounds.

With multiple modes and controls for grain length, density, pitch, and chaos, the Glitch pedal offers a level of chaos and creativity no traditional effect delivers. It’s a tool for turning riffs, leads, and transitions into something entirely unexpected.

Pre Effects

Horizon Devices® Compressor®

The Compressor has become one of Horizon Devices®’ most acclaimed pedals and is Misha’s always-on essential both live and in the studio. We have meticulously and faithfully recreated every detail of the Compressor in Archetype: Misha Mansoor X, ensuring it works exactly like its hardware counterpart.

It captures the same “set it and forget it” magic while adding the flexibility only software can provide. Turn it on, and even at default settings it tightens your tone and adds enough extra push to drive an amp or serve as a booster. Simple, versatile, and effective.

Tape Echo

This vintage-style delay brings the warmth and character of classic tape echoes to the front of your signal. Because it sits before the amp, every repeat is shaped by your gain and effects, giving you echoes that are raw and punchy.

Keep it tight for quick slapbacks that add instant energy. Stretch it out for spacious repeats that melt into your tone. Push it all the way to a fully wet signal with short times and no feedback, and it becomes a gritty lo-fi texture that completely reshapes your sound.

Dual Octaver

The Dual Octaver adds depth to your tone with the ability to shift your signal down, up, or both at once. Its precise tracking keeps every note clear and defined, even in the lowest registers.

Blend in just a touch for subtle thickness, or turn it up for huge, synth-like layers that transform single notes into massive harmonies.

Horizon Devices® Precision Drive®

The Precision Drive® redefined what a modern overdrive could be. Designed by Misha, it delivers the tightness and clarity high-gain players demand and has become the benchmark overdrive for modern metal.

In Archetype: Misha Mansoor X, every detail of the Precision Drive® has been faithfully recreated, delivering the same punch, clarity, and feel as its hardware counterpart.

Chaos

Chaos is Misha’s custom-built distortion, modeled after a DIY pedal inspired by the infamous Swedish “chainsaw” sound. It delivers a raw, buzzy grind that can be blended with your dry signal for everything from subtle edge to full-on destruction.

With a single control, it keeps things simple, but the results are anything but. Pair it with a high-gain amp for brutal riffs and searing leads, or run it straight into a cab for 80s-inspired tones.
