Waves is well known in the professional studio world for its software plug-ins, used throughout the industry for recording, mixing and mastering.a couple of years ago the company made a move into the guitar side of things in a collaboration with paul reed smith that brought about the original version of the gtr amp and effects software reviewed. But gtr sounds (and looks) like an amp modeller from the early 2000s. i like that it separates the pedals & amps into different vst plugins, but ik's amplitube 4 and ni's guitar rig 5 pro sound just so much better than this, so get those instead.. €
