About This Product!
Description
Guitar Combos perfectly recreate three classic combos, using the same critically acclaimed technology that has already won GUITAR RIG 16 industry awards. The package includes AC Box Combo, Plexi Combo and Twang Combo. The lovingly emulated tube combos have an absolutely authentic, warm and dynamic sound, producing the purest of tones. Their flexible nature allows them to be used both as stand-alone applications and as plug-ins. The 100 professional presets included in the package only hint at the wide musical spectrum covered by these classic amps and at the potential they offer.
Play The Sound
The Guitar Combos series combines outstanding sound quality with maximum ease of use and playability. Aimed primarily at people who see themselves first and foremost as guitarists as opposed to engineers, Guitar Combos is perfectly suited to musicians with little or no experience of music software. Together with any modern computer, appropriate audio interface and a guitar, these combos are all that is needed to enjoy the sound of professional studio productions.
Award-Winning Technology
The Guitar Combos utilize the same Dynamic Tube Response technology that was developed for Guitar Rig, giving the series the same exceptional sound quality of their bigger brother. The characteristics of the cabinets and mics are all perfectly captured thanks to highly advanced impulse response modelling techniques, ensuring that incredibly realistic tones are produced.
Simple Yet Precise
While still keeping things simple, intuitive and exceptionally easy to use, Guitar Combos also offers a basic set of features that allow you to tune your individual sound. Each combo consists of an amplifier, a static microphone and cabinet setup as well as a tuner, noise gate and a limiter. In addition to this, each model features a different selection of effects such as overdrive, chorus or delay that are typical of the sonic character of that particular model. The units are arranged in a pre-defined order but can be toggled on and off as needed. Guitar Combos allows guitarists to plug in their guitars and start playing with an absolute minimum of fuss.
Basic Features Common To All 3 Combos
- Noise Gate
- Pre-amp effects
- Amplifier, Cabinet, Mic
- Post-amp effects
- Limiter
- Tuner
- Preset manager for 64 presets with drag and drop
Stage Diving
The Guitar Combos run both stand-alone or as plug-ins in all major sequencers and host environments, making them ideally suited to all situations. Regardless of whether you are standing on stage, jamming with the band in your rehearsal room or recording guitar tracks into a sequencer, Guitar Combos meets all of your needs.

"A STEAL AND PRETTY AWESOME"
Feature:
The fact that there are 3 different amps is a pretty big deal. It's nice to be able to change your sound and create a truly diverse tonal wall of sound. Of course you have your clean and distorted sounds on each amp. Each amp also has a cool effect like vibrato, tremelo, and delay. I wish it had stompboxes but for the money, forget it, the features are perfect.
Quality:
The software is well done but the sound is the only lacking in quality. The only problem I had is that if you screw around with different sound input cards/devices and you choose a device that becomes unavailable, you probably won't be able to start the program. A reinstall will fix it probably.
Value:
For $60.00 this thing is amazing. Totally worth it if you want good guitar amp sounds and you don't have a studio or $900 to spend.
Desirability:
With stompboxes (which is essentially Guitar Rig 2), it would be cooler but the value and the fact that it captures three of the most heard of amp styles is more than enough to make it desirable. I kinda think it looks pretty cool as well.
Sound:
The sound of this product is on par. It is a little harsh and cold but I've had some amazing results. The twang's clean is very nice and the AC Box has a killer hard rock sound. If you need more edgy sounds, this thing is pretty amazing.
Ease of Use:
You can full around with the knobs like a regular guitar amp and the presets are helpful in finding how versatile each amp is. Just fool around long enough and figure out what you want and it is just fantastic.
Support:
I haven't dealt with the company so I don't know.
Overall:
With a little more warmth and stompboxes, it would be perfect. For the value though, this is an amazing product and definitely a style. I'm very surprised that people would buy other products. I think it has to do with the fact that the price is almost too low.
