True-to-Life Tone, Vast Versatility

Amp sims are all about tone and feel—which is why GTR3 is the go-to amp sim for so many guitarists and bass players. GTR3 doesn’t just model everyone’s favorite vintage amps, but also has cutting-edge, modern amps—including custom models from Paul Reed Smith and Neil Citron.

25 pedal effects, based on Waves’ high-end studio processors, fill out your virtual pedalboard. Meticulously modeled with dazzling detail, GTR3 embodies Waves’ tradition of sonic excellence.

It All Starts with the Amps

GTR3’s guitar amp collection explores the range from pristine clarity, to warm overdrive, to scorching high-gain. And the 7 bass amps handle all the bases—from solid-state clean, to deep R&B, to the growl of hard rock.

Studio Savvy

GTR3 emulates the flexibility of working in the studio. Choose from 12 virtual miking options for 16 guitar cabinets and 6 bass cabinets, and stack cabs in series or parallel—even bypass a virtual cab to feed a physical cabinet.

25 Effective Effects

All the “pedalboard’s greatest hits” are here: distortion, compressor, chorus, delay, reverb, wah, octave divider, pitch bender, and more. Of course, there’s MIDI Learn for real-time control—and multipoint touch sensitivity.

Go Way Beyond the Conventional

For incredible parallel processing, GTR3 is 100% compatible with Waves’ free StudioRack host. Insert different effects on different splits, or split by frequency for the articulated sound of multiband distortion—and bust some limits.
