Guitar rig and rig kontrol for live shows

msjones · Feb 12, 2010

Hi,

I play in a semi pro covers band and have been messing around with the demo of guitar rig 4. I have to say I love this app and intend on purchasing it with the rig kontrol foot pedal.

I have set up amps to match the exact sounds of the artists we cover and am interested in using this emulation software during a show instead of my amp and pedal board.

Can somebody tell me, would this be possible? I have a 2x12" cab that I'd like to use. Would I need a preamp or is everything good to go?

Thanks in advance.

I think the modeled sound comes at at "line level". What you'd need is something like a PA system. Basically a very, clean amp and speaker like what a vocalist might use.

I think the idea of using computer amp modles is that you send the out put to a mixer board and then out the PA speakers

The above, or you could plug it into a power amp that would drive your 2x12 cab, but you'd want to make sure that any cab/speaker emulation in GR4 was off. Sending an emulated cab sound to a real cab sounds horrible.

You should be able to route the Guitar Rig output into the clean channel of your guitar amp then run that into the 2x12 cab.
Like Teej said, make sure you have cab modeling off in GR or it will sound horrible.

Thanks for the responses, I appreciate the feedback. I am just about to order the rig control hardware.

Also is there anyway to use the amp models in GR4 in Logic Express 8? I record using logic but use my own pedals as I find that the presets in logic arn't great.
