Re: [SurfGuitar101] Native Instrument Guitar Rig & Surf

Neal S. (memoryover) - 22 Jul 2005 13:39:49

i love NI guitar rig, and my POD 2.0. I use them both
in conjunction now. I would spend alot of time trying
and efort trying to get them to sound like "real
amps". Then i realized that with these, i didnt have
to sound like everybody else. So now i focus very
little on getting a "real" sound. But these two units
produce incredible sounds. Guitar rig also has the
best srping reverb ive ever heard from a plug-in or
pedal effect.
