Watch It in Action

The Solution for Studio or Stage

  • It All Starts with the Amps

    GTR3’s guitar amp collection explores the range from pristine clarity, to warm overdrive, to scorching high-gain. And the 7 bass amps handle all the bases—from solid-state clean, to deep R&B, to the growl of hard rock.

    Features: Glue Mixes without “Squashing”
  • Studio Savvy

    GTR3 emulates the flexibility of working in the studio. Choose from 12 virtual miking options for 16 guitar cabinets and 6 bass cabinets, and stack cabs in series or parallel—even bypass a virtual cab to feed a physical cabinet.

    Features:
  • 25 Effective Effects

    All the “pedalboard’s greatest hits” are here: distortion, compressor, chorus, delay, reverb, wah, octave divider, pitch bender, and more. Of course, there’s MIDI Learn for real-time control—and multipoint touch sensitivity.

    Features: Fast and Efficient Operation
  • Go Way Beyond the Conventional

    For incredible parallel processing, GTR3 is 100% compatible with Waves’ free StudioRack host. Insert different effects on different splits, or split by frequency for the articulated sound of multiband distortion—and bust some limits.

    Features: From Vocals to “The Ringo Drum Sound”
