Welcome to GUITAR RIG
Welcome to the GUITAR RIG manual. Read this user guide and learn how to use GUITAR RIG as a multi-effects rack and amp simulator to add warmth, character, and space to your sounds.
GUITAR RIG is a multi-effects rack and amp simulator for creative sound design and audio processing. You can use it to add character and space to everything from guitar and bass, to strings, drums, and synths. As a fully modular multi-effect with built-in modulation, it also leans itself to experimenting with electronic sounds.
GUITAR RIG makes its wealth of effects accessible through a clear layout that focuses on the Rack. In the Rack you can combine and tweak the individual effects, called Components, to create any multi-effect imaginable. The Rack is accompanied by the Browser, which enables you to find presets and load Components from GUITAR RIG's extensive library.
The software will grow, adapt, and evolve with regular updates—inspired by, and for its users. We hope you enjoy GUITAR RIG as much as we do, and are looking forward to hearing your creations!
