Native Instruments GUITAR RIG 3 Software Edition
GUITAR RIG 3 lets you get a combination of stacks, cabs,
and effects you can always rely on without ever leaving your home. If you're
looking for the sound of vintage cabs and amps for your bass or guitar but don't
have the time or money to go searching the local equipment stores Native
Instruments Guitar Rig can set you up and help you avoid what may possibly be
unreliable used equipment. The new version of this popular software delivers 12
amps, 17 guitar and 6 bass amps, 4 rotary speakers, and 9 microphones with
adjustable positioning and 44 effects via your computer.
Four of the new amp models worth mentioning are the Ultrasonic, Citrus, High
White, and the Tweed Delight. Ultrasonic is a two-channel amp with a more modern
sound, ultra-high gain, and a range in tonal qualities from clean to extreme
metal. Citrus gives you the sound of the 70s, British invasion-style, offering
full, warm sounds to "granular" distortion. The virtual 100 watts of the High
White will have you playing in the sonic vein of David Gilmour (Pink Floyd),
Pete Townsend (The Who), and other British lead guitar stalwarts. The delight of
Tweed Delight is it's simplicity. Despite having only three knobs, this amp,
inspired by an American legend, runs the gamut from glass-clear to wailing
blues.
The six new effects you 'll get are Sledge Hammer, a hammering
overdrive/distortion-effect; Ring Modulator for the classic Ring-Mod effect; a
Custom EQ and Vintage EQ; RealWah which emulates a modern wah-wah pedal;
TapeEcho which gives your sound that left-field, outer space feel; and Delay
Man, a delay effect with built-in chorus and vibrato. There's still 38 more
time-based, modulation, distortion, overdrive, filter, and volume effects to
play with, as well as a split module, crossover mix devices. You also get five
modulators, a loop machine, and virtual tapedecks for helping you work on song
ideas.
An on-board studio-quality soundcard routes the signal to your speakers where
the drag-and-drop rack format and enhanced preset management system allows you
to discover what combination works best for your sonic needs. There's no sound
engineering experience necessary. This latest offering of GUITAR RIG comes with
a "Matched Cabinet" feature that offers tried-and-true, classic combinations of
amps and cabinets to make finding that "one sound" stress-free. The software's
Dynamic Tube Response Technology recreates the various amps, cabs, mics, and
effects in exacting detail, delivering perfect custom tone in seconds.
