"Guitar Rig is a guitar player's dream.
Stacks of amps, loads of pedals and multiple
mics at the flick of a mouse. I love it !!!!"

my guitars sounds through it. GUITAR RIG is amazing!"

Stephen Carpenter - Deftones

"GUITAR RIG is a little box of audio dynamite!

Justin Meldal-Johnsen - Beck, Ima Robot, Tori Amos

Justin Meldal-Johnsen - Beck, Ima Robot, Tori Amos

"When it comes to bass amp modeling software, nothing compares with the tones
I can get out of Guitar Rig 3, which I'm using on records right now. The bass sounds
are fat, have plenty of "note," with a surprisingly realistic amp grind, if you want it.
Plus the effects are superb and can be as freaky as you like—very, very nice."

Justin Meldal-Johnsen - Beck, Ima Robot, Tori Amos


Dweezil Zappa

Dweezil Zappa

"GUITAR RIG offers endless combinations of tone-shaping tools.
The results are truly inspiring and fit precisely into your project"

Dweezil Zappa


Steve Jones - Air

Steve Jones - Air

"So you want a great guitar sound? You could sell your house and
spend years tracking down all the best vintage amps, pedals, cabinets
and mics... not forgetting a truck to move it all around. Oh, and a
couple of techs to keep everything working, too. Or you could buy
Guitar Rig and just save yourself the trouble. And the money."

Steve Jones - Air
Steve talks through his on stage setup - see videos >


Guy Sigsworth and Andy Page

Guy Sigsworth and Andy Page

"It just sounds soooo good! When we were recording the guitars,
our initial plan was to record through a well known hardware
guitar box, and to record a DI signal as well, with the intention
of re-amping later on. But once we heard Guitar Rig there just was
no looking back! Pretty much all the guitars were recorded with it."

Guy Sigsworth and Andy Page - Alanis Morissette, Madonna, Bjork...
