I use Guitar Rig 3, too. It was amazing in version 2, and now it's even better. More streamlined and I believe it doesn't kill my processor as much.

Anyway, I have it loaded in to a laptop so that when me and the band gig live, I make the bass player run a direct patch from GR3 output in to the mixing board. That way we have any number of perfectly mic'ed bass amps/cabs on tap, and distortions too.

Go go go!

I've acquired it and used it in the past, I didn't use a DI box with it though so I didn't think that much to it, for hi gain metal at least (at the time I was like, I'll use this instead of buying a cr@ppy Marshall MG)

then I found a demo of it in a shop with a cheap strat, and it still didn't sound that good, again hi gain metal settings

how much difference does a DI box and a proper guitar make to the sound? I was gunna buy a DI box and well... I never got round to it doh

I'm currently toying with these things and so far I prefer Amplitube 2 to guitar rig 3 so far but Ive barely touched the surface. One good resource I've found is this site:

You will need to register and login to download the presets.

That sound MUCH better than the clips on the GuitarRig website - really impressed, may well look into buying that (unless someone knows of a hooky version flying around for me to 'evaluate')

how long can I evaluate that version for and do I need some special interface to plug into the PC? (or will a DI Box into my soundcard work fine?)

I was about to comment saying that i agree about the revalver kicking ass,but then it did exactly what amplitube and guitar rig do to me.

The Digital Headache.

It sounds good, sure, but for reasons unknown to myself it gives me a headache really quickly.

I originally thought that this was due to the delay between playing a note and hearing it through the amp sim, but i guess not.

But playing in front of a 4x12 for an hour in a little bar doesn't give you a headache? 8)

That's weird! :o

I haven't tried revalver yet but I'm going to try the demo. I use a Line6 POD XTL and I've also got Guitar Rig 2. Guitar rig by itself seems too thin whereas the Line6 can sound too dark. For recording I prefer to get a sound I like with the POD, record the track with the amp sound only (no cabs, mics or effects) and then use Guitar Rig cab and mic simulation as a plug in. This sounds much more alive than all Line6, and has more substance than Guitar Rig alone.

Peter Antal · « **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2007, 09:23:51 AM »

Yeah, Revalver 2 is probably the best high-gain modeler these days, however, the cleans aren't very elaborate IMO. :?

sgmypod · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2007, 03:13:35 PM »

yeah can also change what valves speakers can edit as little or as deap as you like...ain't a valve amp but good for recording

Well that would give me a headache after half an hour, sure.

But these things give me one after just 2 min's.

Wish I knew why...
