GTR3 is a guitar and bass amp simulation plugin that delivers authentic tone and feel for players and producers alike. It models 30 guitar amps and 7 bass amps, including vintage classics and modern custom designs from Paul Reed Smith and Neil Citron. You can virtually mic 16 guitar cabs and 6 bass cabs with 12 miking options, and stack two amps in series or parallel, in-phase or out-of-phase, for complex layered tones. A virtual pedalboard offers 25 stompbox effects derived from Waves’ high-end studio processors, covering drives, modulation, delay, and more. The ToolRack module is optimized for standalone live performance, and tap tempo and tempo sync keep your effects locked to the beat. Whether you’re recording direct, building a live rig, or crafting unique guitar textures in your DAW, GTR3 provides the versatility and sonic excellence that Waves is known for. It suits guitarists and bassists seeking realistic amp tones without physical amps, and producers needing flexible guitar processing.
