“I’m often asked to create old, retro guitar sounds on a lot of the scores I create. The presets in GTR3 really make this easy!”
“GTR 3 is an incredible tool. There are so many amazing presets and useable sounds. Roomtone and Viberoom are two of my personal favorite post-amp effects. Tweaking the presets and saving is also a snap. I can always find something lurking in GTR3 that surprises me. As a composer, I am always looking for simple, logically laid out tools for creativity. Waves nailed it with GTR 3. It’s really inspiring!”
