Rigs for guitar modelers
Make your guitar sound like the record.
Search the song you are chasing, see what other players set their rig to, and dial it in on the unit while you are standing in front of it.
Save, fork, build
-
Save the ones that worked
A rig that nailed the tone is one you want again at band practice. Save it and it is on this page, one tap from the settings.
-
Fork anything, change anything
Close but too dark, or you play it in drop D? Fork the rig and you get your own editable copy, credited to whoever built the original.
-
Build one from scratch
Pick blocks from the real model catalog, set every knob, name the song it is for, and publish it. Or share a single block's settings as a preset.
