«  Guitar Rig 2 to play live »

Published on 04/26/11 at 14:12
Hyper installation simple, the pedal is the sound card, you just report it to the computer.
We need the internet to get the key to unlock the version, otherwise it stays in demo.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 180 GB HDD The sound card is not the issue, since it is the pedal of Guitar Rig 2, which is sound card.
Connecting pedals USB 2.
it crashes ever, no latency of sound. When giving a helping pick on the guitar, the sound is right there.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2007, first version 1, with the pedal, then the 2, also corresponding with the pedal, then 3, with the pedal 2. Well, there was still a problem between versions 1 and 2, because in the version 1 is the sound card of the computer that was working, the pedal was a pilot. In Version 2, is the pedal that makes driver and also the sound card. So we are left with the pedal version 1 that is useless.

I use it mostly live, rehearsals and concerts.
I connect a guitar (Shergold modulator 3, or melodymaker Gibson), first in a Proco Rat and in the lobby of the pedal, it appears in a bass amp Marshall JCM 800 series, with matching 4X12 cabinet.
I use the effects and amps, rarely firms. The sound and the possibilities are noisy at will. The ring modulator with the expression pedal kills more surely than a sniper. The Psychedelay also does damage. The pitchpedal sending you direct deathmétalland. The ultrasonic you saturate the atmosphere. The octave you dropped 2 floors. The layers of effects can be controlled very well from the pedal to 6 switches (including an expression pedal). You can record, sampler, rebalance loops, sequence effects.
My concern is not its accuracy, but the production of layers of sound (besides, I plug a Korg Monotron also in there). The range goes from very sharp sound of the wah and the Ring to the very serious of the octave and the pitch. Therefore the amp that the cash thing. After a few trials directly into the sound, ultimately very disappointing, with little momentum, the passage through a tube amp suits me perfectly. For me, Guitar Rig is a infinite effect rack which saves me having two meters of Electro-Harmonix pedals and Death by Audio in front of the shoes.
