Overview

Amps, stomps, cabs.

GTR3 is the full amp simulator, with 30 guitar amps and 7 bass amps including custom models by Paul Reed Smith. Two amps can be stacked in series or parallel, in phase or out of phase, which is where most of its more distinctive tones come from. Sixteen guitar cabinets and six bass cabinets can be virtually miked, and 25 pedal effects built from Waves' studio processors fill the pedalboard. The ToolRack module runs standalone for live performance.
