Guitar Tone Engine

Every guitar rig is built around one of three signal-processing approaches. Understanding which one fits your budget, workflow and goals is the first step to getting the tone you want.

Hardware Guitar Rigs

Full analogue signal chains — real amps, real pedals, real tone. The approach used by legends from Hendrix to SRV.

Hybrid Guitar Setups

Real amp with digital FX, or a modeller feeding a power amp and real cabinet — the most flexible approach to guitar tone.
