Overall, I would have to say that this latest incarnation of Guitar Rig PRO 6 is pretty awesome. Kruspe) will get you there in an instant. However, if you do want brutal distortion and high gain craziness, then amps like the RAMMFIRE (an amp designed with Rammstein’s Richard Z. This latest version sounds more realistic to my ear and doesn’t hide the tones behind over-loaded effects, so you can actually hear your playing dynamics shine through. Especially with clean sounds or slightly overdriven sounds. I always found the old versions were a little ‘plastic’ sounding, for want of a better phrase. One massive improvement over the older version of Guitar Rig is its responsiveness to playing dynamics.

Native Instruments Guitar Rig 6 PRO is rammed full of great effects Responsiveness I found the automation and control easy to set up, without any confusing menus getting in the way. You can set it to slowly sweep or modulate your virtual control knobs, or assign parameters to a MIDI controller and control them on the fly.
If you do like ultimate control over your parameters then you can load up virtual LFOs and step sequencers to control parameters of just about everything. This is a huge amount of power and adjustment, and you should be able to create some amazing and complex rigs if you want to. Guitar Rig PRO 6 includes parallel routing via Split Mix, Crossover routes via high or low frequencies, and Split M/S to allow you to adjustment the Mid and Side channels of your mix, which in turn you can separately control and process the centre and the edges of a stereo image.
Each module can be turned on and off individually, which can be preset to an external controller so that you can assign it to a footswitch for easy control when you are playing. This is where some of the more ‘out there’ factory presets and curated artist presets are getting their tones from.īut even if you want to just keep it simple and go amp – cab – effects, then it is as easy as drag and dropping your chosen virtual rig components in the order that you want them in. And that isn’t a bad way to start off to be honest, but Guitar Rig 6 has some serious routing options you can use to create multiple amp and cabinet combinations within one single user preset. You can start with an amp, a virtual cabinet, and throw some effects in to taste. The newly redesigned user interface is super sharp and can be resized how you like, which makes navigation a breeze and a great experience on high resolution monitors. It really does help to give you a good overview of what is possible and how the patches have been created. Sure, you can run through A-Z if you prefer, or search for specific preset names as well, but I think new users will appreciate the navigation options. You can also try out various factory presets via the Genres, Amplifier, Effects, and Artists preset organisation, as this breaks down all the factory presets and curated presets by type, providing you a nice quick route to the various virtual guitar rigs. I would suggest new users start with one of the curated factory presets, for which Native Instruments has brought in players like Vernon Reid and Pete Thorn on board. Then your main presets are built up with ‘studio rack’ like modules, which contain everything from your tuner, virtual amps, cabinets, and effects. Essentially, you choose your factory presets and virtual components from the column on the left-hand side of the main window. Guitar Rig 6 has taken this further and it looks even more friendly than before. I find it very well laid out and simple to navigate. If you have never used Guitar Rig then you will probably enjoy its ultra-clean user interface. At one point, I even went out and got myself a Rig Kontroller pedal and ran my virtual guitar rig via that. I’m a Mac/Logic Pro user predominantly and so I always use programs like Guitar Rig within my DAW, although you can also use them as standalone.

A little background on my experience with the software and usage: I’ve been using Guitar Rig since its very first iteration, and for a number of years, it was my go to virtual guitar setup in my DAW. Native Instruments kindly sent me a copy of the new Guitar Rig 6 software so that I could review it and give you my first impressions.
