Perfect virtual guitar

6 of the best guitar effects plugins

Native Instruments Guitar Rig Pro 7 £179

Guitar Rig 7 Pro gives you 115 effects and utilities and, really, it’s hard to think what else you’d possibly require processor wise. The best bit is that it is so easy to drag and drop these devices into whatever chain you want to create or, better (but way more lazy), just use the many presets that are laid out by genre and type. Utterly brilliant . native-instruments.com
