Native Instruments’ Guitar Rig 2 hit store shelves in the United States on Wednesday. The new version picks up where the original Guitar Rig left off, adding new amps including an emulation of the Marshall JCM 800 and the Fender Bassman. Guitar Rig 2 also now includes 36 stomp box emulations. Three new distortion pedals modeled after popular real-world units offer additional crunch, overdrive and hi-gain flavors, while seven new effect modules add further options to shape the tone, according to Native Instruments. New additions include a stomp compressor, a classic Autofilter model, and a true-to-life emulation of the Dunlop Cry Baby Wah pedal. Guitar Rig 2 costs US$579.
