I used to be turned on by music gear but I've just sort of grown out of it (or at least changed my priorities). With GTR3 you get classy sounds with a well-produced sheen that would fit right into polished commercial recordings.Well it's not an anti-software thing - I only use a laptop and 2 Nord synths at the moment. If you want to get into some tweaking of effects while playing, like using real wah instead of auto wah, dynamic automation is available via MIDI. The range of stompboxes is equally wide, some of which can do the job of studio processing in a post-amp position. The actual range of sounds available should provide just about everything a busy studio recording various types of music would need, especially in terms of saturated and overdriven sounds with nine high-gain amp models alongside the five drive, five clean and six bass models.Д«earing out Waves' claim that GTR3 delivers the most realistic guitar amp sounds ever, the authenticity of the sound is consistently high with the modelling responding well to your playing dynamics. SoundsДЄlthough nearly all are modelled on real examples of classic makes and models, GTR3's amps are categorised as either Clean, Drive, High Gain or Bass and each given a descriptive name. Stompbox positions in the signal chain are changed by drag and drop procedures and the amp also appears in the stompbox window so effects can be easily placed pre or post.ДЄ comprehensive tuner also opens on its own page and there is a separate preset page that lists a whole bunch of factory presets and any of your own that you choose to save.

Separate windows can be opened to show the amp/cabinet and stompbox options and new models can be chosen from drop down menus.

These components can be chosen from a grand total of 19 guitar amp models and 26 stompbox effects.ДЇor each amp model there is a choice of 16 cabinets with each cabinet's sound defined by the positioning of a virtual microphone.Д«ass players are also catered for with seven bass amps and six bass cabs. There are various possibilities when using GTR3 as a plug-in, but in standalone mode GTR3 appears on your desktop as the GTR ToolRack, a rig where you can have up to six stomp effects and two amps that can be combined in various ways.

What you get with GTR3 is software that is primarily designed to be used as a plug-in in a software recording package, but can also be used independently in standalone mode if you just want to plug into your computer and play guitar either for practice or onstage use. The package of the two is still available with a small saving over the cost of the individual items, and the prices are lower overall. Now you can buy GTR3 as software only and can buy the Waves DI box separately if you want one. Back then GTR came as a package at ВЈ449 that included a high quality DI box to convert your guitar signal to an appropriate level for input into an audio interface's microphone input - not something universally useful as many audio interfaces have a dedicated instrument input anyway. There have been changes since we looked at the first version of GTR.
