And the cool thing is that it comes w/ Custom Shop - just launch that application, and you're entering a virtual gear store where you can demo and buy amp models, cabs and effects - hundreds of them. It comes with a decent bunch of amps, cabs and fx.

I'm just an average right-handed guy.Īs been mentioned, there's a free version of Amplitube. Is there a point in getting an older version of guitar rig, like 3 or 4? Or would it be better to just drop the extra $ on the newest version?Īmplitude has a free DL.and it's freeware so I'll be able to use a few amps forever regardless of whether i buy the complete rig? It seems like from what you guys have said, it's going to cost me $250-$450 ish for an adequate guitar rig plug in. Quick question, are you left handed or is that picture a mirror image? If the former, slap hands! To put it another way - once I start messing w/ Mix2IR, I can make pretty much any amp sim sound good. But, it comes w/ nice EQs and channel strip models with which you can further shape your tone and make it a bit less dull-sounding.īut when it's time to render, the best option for me is usually to just bypass any cab/impulse loader and to use RedWirez' Mix2IR and create my own custom cab/mic/room combination. It also seems to sound a bit darker - unlike AT and GR which can be a bit too bright at times. POD Farm also uses impulses (I think) but they sound very static, you don't have much options in terms of mics/mic placement, only 4 mics and a percentage value for room. I love the bundled effects and the flexibility. It's good for some things, less for others. Guitar Rig 5 is sort of an in between solution - it has both impulse-based cabs (some of the same RedWirez impulses I was already using) AND cab simulation. When recording, I often tend to favor Amplitube and its cab modeling - it's a bit more dynamic than impulses to my ears. POD's my favorite, though it lacks cabs dynamics, so sometimes I'll track using Guitar Rig and replace it w/ POD Farm later. But for another amp model, say, a Marshall Plexi or any Marshall for that matter, AT doesn't really work for me. Even Logic's own Amp Designer has a couple of models I dig.Įach has its strengths and weaknesses - for example I dig the Hiwatt model in Amplitube. Two footswitch connectors are provided, along with a stereo monitor in, assignable dual VU meters with clip indicators, and a phantom power status LED.I own and use a POD, POD Farm and add-on packs, Waves GTR, Amplitube and NI Guitar Rig.
It features two XLR microphone inputs with individual trim knobs and global phantom power for use with both dynamic and condenser microphones, two super-quiet 1/4" guitar input, two 1/4" line inputs, a 1/4" headphone output with separate volume control, two 1/4" line outputs, and a master volume knob. The interface is really easy to use and delivers solid performance.
