SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software is very easy to take charge and works very well without pumping a lot of resources with the option HiQuality that can deactivate or reactivate the software without rebooting.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its release (October / November 2007) and it's really a pleasure to use.

Everything is simple to set up, the effects are of high quality and very convincing amp modeling. It is true that it does not replace an amp on stage on the sensations that we have to play with the amp that sends the studio behind Guitar rig but takes on its magnitude.

The pedal is very sturdy and very well designed with drivers that allow a relatively low latency.

You can save anywhere while having the same sound without spending hours and days to place the microphones for the sound that one seeks. Once that is set on GR3 with mics & cabinets, just load the preset and it runs. Not to mention that one can have a different set of microphones with presets ...

As for sound, overall they are really good, I'm convinced.

- The distortion is good (although none can replace my Dod Death Metal or my Marshall Bluesbreaker II) with sounds quite varied and distinctive;
- The Chorus, Delay, Flanger are up;
- The amp sounds interesting and lead me to do anything different style (I go from Death Metal to coldwave carefree).
- The equalizers are not bad but I do not use them too eventually.
- The whawha are fine, but when it is used for ten years at the sound of his foot Wha's hard to replace.
- The Whammy is powerful and allows me to give me style in C major 7 chords without touching my guitar.
- LFOs and other effects, I do not use too much yet.

It's simple, I do not spend more GR3 in my studio for my records (and even the composition) while in rehearsal or on stage I am attached to my pedals and my amps.

The only thing I regret is that NI has not developed a system to be able to add on in the future, add other materials and models into a scalable software.
