ReviewsGuitarRig 2 vs. Amplitube 2 vs. Waves GTR 2.0 vs. Logic Guitar Amp Pro
by Nathanael Davenport from Rexburg, ID
This review is a quick blow by blow of four of the major amp simulators out there. I spent about a couple of hours doing A/B comparisons of these different products. My first impressions are that:August 20, 2006 Music Background: Recording Engineer, Rock House Recording. ... read more [+]/> 1. GTR (Waves) and Amplitube (IK Multimedia) have the clearest, sweetest sound. 2. GuitarRig has the most versatility, and variety of presets, but the raw sound of it is kind of cheap sounding compared to GTR and Amplitube. 3. Amplitube and GuitarRig 2 have the best interfaces because they are integrated, and in terms of size, Amplitube wins, but in terms of interface usability, GuitarRig 2 wins hands down on all of them. Its window is huge though. 4. Amplitube has the most inspiring and most accurate presets, especially for signature styles. GTR has individual presets for each component of it's package, but not having an integrated plugin is a serious drawback in terms of being able to find the sound you want FAST. So Amplitube and GuitarRig win with their presets. 5. If you run Logic, you can better your guitar sound with any of these packages. Guitar Amp Pro sounds cheap compared to the rest of these, and Logic's built-in E-Guitar presets (channel strip settings) are equally bland. In my opinion, Waves GTR is overpriced for the only slightly sweeter sound it has than the next sweetest (Amplitube) simulator, and is a pain to use compared to the more elegant interfaces of GuitarRig and Amplitube. However, if you don’t mind taking your time to find your sound, GTR may well be your best bet. GuitarRig 2 may be your best bet if you want tons of presets and lots of effects. With a little work with good audio mastering plug-ins, you could make it all sound better. Plus you can get it all (with stomp/pedal controller) for $500, make it an exceptional value. But the raw sound quality is just a little bland compared to Amplitube and GTR. All in all I would recommend Amplitube 2. It has plenty of presets, a more compact if not as elegant user interface than GuitarRig, and bottom line, I think it sounds the best. Every preset sounds great. Though it doesn’t come with a stomp setup, multi-trackers won’t mind this, and with a little clever MIDI programming you can have it change presets like a stomp box. However, look for the next upgrade to GuitarRig 2. If Native Instruments can simply brush up their amp and speaker modeling algorithms, they will dominate the market in the next revision. I would go with GuitarRig if only it sounded better. close [-] inSync Review

My first impression of Guitar Rig 2 was actually based on the Rig Kontrol itself. The thing is built like a tank. I lugged it out of the box and examined its capabilities. Inputs, outputs, USB, MIDI -... read more

Nate EdwardsI love this program. It's cool on guitar, it's good on bass, and it adds a really unique dimension and life to sometimes sterile soft synths. As they say in Boston, "wicked awesome.
