The Supertool

Other than your computer you no longer need any additional hardware – just install the software, plug in Rig Kontrol 3 and your instrument and start playing. It's never been easier!

 
 

Double Input

Two inputs allow the use of two guitars or basses simultaneously. The GUITAR RIG software now allows for full stereo meaning individual processing of both signals. Monitor everything with the dedicated headphone socket without needing a P.A. Ideal for practicing and on the road!

The continuous expression pedal and the nine switches are easily assignable to any parameter and afford complete real-time control of GUITAR RIG KONTROL. Should you need real-time access to more parameters additional controllers and pedals may be connected to the dedicated inputs as well as to the MIDI interface. The controller's data is transmitted via USB 2.0. What's more, Rig Kontrol now features full MIDI support, making it a superb toll for also controlling other plug-ins or your host DAW.

 
 
 

Controller Assignment

The GUITAR RIG KONTROL software allows fast, easy and convenient assignment of Rig Kontrol 3’s switches and pedal to software parameters via drag and drop, and lets you save the assignments within the preset.
