The Most Underrated Amp Modeling Plug-In?
February 21, 2008 – 6:26 pm by Jonathan Grand
Native Instruments Guitar Rig 3. John 5, Munky, Trent Reznor, Stephen Carpenter and Kirk Hammett seem to agree…
Following our previous showdown review of Waves GTR 3 vs Amplitube 2, in our eternal pursuit for easy guitar tones relying on the latest technologies of amp modeling, Native Instruments brought our attention to the version 3 of Guitar Rig, which we didn’t review at the time. And why are they so proud of it? Well, this is not like a mere v1 to 2 update. It’s more like a v2 turned into a V8. Check it out.

Revalver mkII/mkIII blows the doors off Amplitube 2 for heavy tones by light years, IMO.
Maybe give it run though if you haven’t yet. I haven’t really used GTR or GR3, other than the demos of older versions years ago, to comment on them. But damn, Revalver is very impressive. After using Amplitube 2 since it came out, it doesn’t get touched anymore.
To me it sounds like the closest thing to an actual distorted amp. Metal Amp Room is pretty convincing too.
