I've just got the guitar bug, and i wanted to say: Guitar Rig is f-ing great!

(i've not read the thread btw and i don't really understand about how a VST effect could/can "die")

Agreed...until it runs on current OS... is Sylenth1 Dead? Is Synth1 dead? Is Zebra2 dead?

Pointless imho...

I hate guitar rig, when I bought it, it was version 1 and like $400, it was one of the things to turn me against buying from NI in the long run.

basically guitar rig was a class leading guitar virtual amp/pedals system, but hasn’t had any development in years and since been overtaken by many better competitors. It is obviously still perfectly usable, but it’s like the last male heir in a family who’s shooting blanks.

I heard for a fact (from another prominent developer) that the original devs hired by NI (and the only ones they had working on guitar oriented fx/ampsim) have long since jumped ship. I wouldn't bet on any updates or new versions unless they have a secret team of new devs or outsourced another company to work on a version 6.

At least the Guitar Rig thread is alive! Brought back from the dead by Spring Goose!

(give it a couple of days or weeks)

GR is far from dead here. I think it's great.

How long has it been, 9 years? Not many people in the software industry stay that long at a company. I wouldn't expect the original developers to still be around.

I’m still a fan of Guitar Rig... just not for guitar. Actually, never really for guitar. I always found it had a kind of sound that I didn’t like. I actually liked Amplitube more, but eventually abandoned that too in favor of a Kemper. As soon as I got that Kemper my G.A.S. for guitar stuff evaporated and I really haven’t bought anything except for a Blackstar HT-5 Dual distortion pedal. But for synths, Guitar Rig is excellent. I don’t really care if they update it as long as they keep it working.

This thread absolutely deserved to be revived!

Development appears dead, software still apparently works.

Welcome.

So... Is Guitar Rig dead?
