- Four New Amp Models
GUITAR RIG 3 contains four new select amp models, further expanding the enormous sound palette. Special attention has been focused on developing still more authentic and dynamic tube sounds. We are proud to present even more impressive amplifiers with unequaled sound quality. For each amplifier as well as the Cabinets & Mic modules, a matching guitar box has been created.

- Matched Cabinets
For each of the twelve tube amps GUITAR RIG 3 has styled a perfectly tuned and enormously simplified cabinet, which reproduces the sound of the original box.
Here you can choose between two different microphone types, and select the different characteristics of each.
This makes it easy to arrive at your desired sound in seconds, without needing the extensive knowledge of a sound engineer.

- Six New Effect Modules
TapeEcho, Delay Man, Sledge Hammer, Real Wah, Custom EQ, Ring Modulator

- Accelerated Workflow
All functions such as the headline and the toolbar have been optimized- a simpler layout and clearer arrangement leads to a substantially improved work flow.

- Simplified Controller Assignment
The controller assignment has been completely revised and enables a faster handling and greater flexibility:
You can now assign several functions to any button of the Rig Kontrol 3, so that as many effects as desired can be switched on or off at the same time.
The new Snapshot function permits the placing of different variations of a rack making the switching between complex sounds very fast - great for live situations.
With the Link function external controllers can be merged with the switches of the virtual Rig Kontrol 3, and therefore integrated smoothly with the software

- New Sounds and Optimized Preset Management
GUITAR RIG 3 comes with a completely re-arranged sound library. The enormous sound pallete with 300 presets and/or preset setups brings you a gigantic selection of typical guitar sounds - for each amplifier model common and co-ordinated setups are provided for fast selection (e.g.- from clean to crunch or hi-gain) - or search for your sounds using typical music styles from classic rock to pop to metal.

- Live View
GUITAR RIG 3 has developed the "live-view" specifically for live situations. This view contains only the most important information and parameters optimized to make GUITAR RIG 3 the unbeatable tool for the stage - even from several meters distance everything is still in clear view.
