The included pedal board acts as a high-quality USB 2.0 computer sound card and MIDI interface.Live performers might hesitate to trust a computer-dependent product on stage.
Without the Guitar Hero video game franchise, most of us would never feel the rush of turning our virtual amps up to 11, slinging our guitars below the waist, and living the fantasy of rock stardom. ![]() Native Instruments Guitar Rig 3 Kontrol Edition (499) brings rock-god fantasy fulfillment to real guitarists. Like letting a chef loose in a fully stocked kitchen, Guitar Rig offers guitarists a smorgasbord of authentic amp and effect pedal emulations. For anyone whos ever wanted to play their guitar through Slashs Marshall stack, Claptons overdriven Fender Twin, or every effect pedal ever created, Guitar Rig 3 Kontrol Edition is the coolest thing to happen to weekend-warrior guitarists since practice amps started coming with headphone jacks. Guitar Rig 3 Software Allows YouWhen you plug your guitar into Guitar Rig 3 (by way of the bundled hardware), the software allows you to call up preconfigured or custom combinations of amplifiers, speaker cabinets, and effects. Guitar Rig 3 Professional Guitarists SignatureEvery nuance of a professional guitarists signature sound has been accounted for--from the characteristics of overdriven tube amplifiers, to the diameter of the speaker cone. ![]() Stepping through the more than 300 preset configurations offered in Guitar Rig 3 is like walking through rock and roll history. Each Guitar Rig 3 preset is categorized by genres such as classic rock, metal, or country and blues. A search option allows you to find presets using attributes tags such as Bright, Dirty, Spacious, or Warm. After getting a feel for what Guitar Rig 3 is capable of, we played around with creating our own custom setup. An exhaustive list of components that includes 12 guitar amps, 17 speaker cabinets, 44 effects, and 9 microphones, made us feel like a kid in a candy shop. ![]() Creating our own custom rig was as easy as dragging and dropping components from the list window into the rig window, and hitting save. Those of you brave enough to take Guitar Rig 3 out of the bedroom studio and onto the stage can create your own custom bank of presets that can be switched on the fly during a live performance. The advantage of using Guitar Rig 3 on stage is the amount of flexibility you have to dramatically shape your guitars sound using just the included foot controller. For instance, during the course of a live set you may have one song that demands a clean, vintage guitar tone with a delay effect, another song that requires the sound of an overdriven full stack, and a song that needs an intimate, bluesy tone, drenched in reverb. Using Guitar Rig 3, you can jump between complex configurations just by stomping a single button on your foot controller to advance to the next preset, instead of fiddling with the multiple knobs and buttons of traditional amplifiers and effects. A list of preset configurations on the left allows you to quickly browse the classic setups used by guitar legends. We delete comments that violate our policy, which we encourage you to read.
