"Guitar Rig 3 delivered such good core tone that I forgot about the software and focused on my own playing, as I would playing through a regular amp... Couple that with an excellent foot controller and a simplified user interface, and Guitar Rig 3 is a successful and worthy update indeed."

"Guitar Rig 3 is very guitarist-friendly by being simple on the surface, but gives serious depth for those who want to build and edit their own custom "racks" of sounds. Whether you use one sound or a ton of diverse sounds (or want to come up with new, futuristic sounds no one has heard before), Guitar Rig 3 could be the ultimate guitar rack without the price tag (or weight!)."

Its host of highly realistic sounds and a high-quality floorboard mean that in its latest incarnation, Guitar Rig has broadened its appeal beyond computer recording enthusiasts. Very impressive."

"Sonically, Guitar Rig has always been capable of ranging from classic traditional sounds to experimental exotica and the added models will add even more scope from one end of that range to the other. It's an excellent cost-effective package and thanks to the Rig Kontrol facilities, is still the single product of all those available that most successfully integrates the act of playing guitar with a computer."
