"In the ever-crowded world of amp modeling, NI once again raises the stakes by adding an incredible amout of flexibility into the equation. Great sounding amps, cabinets, micing and effects - and definitely not just for guitar! Sonically versatile enough to apply anywhere you need to "liven" something up. An excellent tool in the sound designing arsenal."

"The only limit with Guitar Rig is your imagination! I'm running Guitar Rig 3 live with my MacBook Pro and am having a blast. GR 3 is great standalone, as a plug in, or in addition to your favorites in your pedalboard."


Vernon Reid on MySpace

"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."

"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."

"I pretty much use Guitar Rig on every single song on our new album (but as my keyboard-rhodes-receptor effects unit which it is simply the best piece of software equipment I own). Every song on the new album has a Native Instruments piece of software and we wouldn't be Mogwai without it."

"Guitar rig takes you sound into Palatial Halls, Dirty clubs, and Spaceship dance-floors, I think it should just be 'Rig' as I run everything through it."

"I really like the Guitar Rig software a lot. It's a good step forward for developing your guitar sound and ideas. Its versatility is particularly useful in all pre-production situations to easily figure out different solutions: You can re-amp stuff you've already recorded to play it with different combinations of amps and effects."

Flemming Rasmussen has earned his reputation producing Metallica's classic albums "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets" and "And Justice for All...".

"I find Guitar Rig 3 an essential part of writing, home recording and studio recording. I can access almost limitless amplifiers, speaker systems, mic settings and effects, all on my computer in a concise, easy to use format."


Black Sabbath Website

"Guitar Rig 3 is by far the best sounding, most powerful amp modeling system available. I honestly can't remember the last time I had this much fun playing my guitar. Thank you Native Instruments!!!"

"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."

"GUITAR RIG is amazing... these guys really did their homework. And so simple that even me, a bass player, can use it! This makes it a LOT easier for me to work and demo up things while touring, I don't have to cringe now when I hear a live guitar or bass that I record in my hotel room or on the bus."

"I can always find the sound to go further ahead musically. It is just flexible and yet very musical."

„At last getting any sound, anywhere, anytime has become a reality - and not just for guitarists."

"The program boasts some of the most tactile amp simulations and well observed stompbox clones I've encountered - not to mention the juiciest faux-spring reverb I've heard. Plus it comes wrapped in lucid yet powerful and open-ended user interface that borrows some of the best features found in NI's other programs."
