Native Instruments Guitar Rig 7 Pro: The Modern Guitar and Effects Plugin

Native Instruments Guitar Rig 7 Pro is the current flagship guitar amp and effects plugin — 26 amp models, 115 effects and the new ICM modelling technology that captures the dynamic response of physical hardware. Version 7 introduced four new amp plugins (Superfast 100 tube amp, Reverb Delight Fender Deluxe emulation, Bass Rage Ampeg bass amp, AC Box XV Vox AC emulator), a new signal flow view, an Impulse Response loader, Ozone Maximizer for loudness, plus Loop Machine Pro and a suite of lo-fi effects. Whether you play guitar or use guitar amp emulations for creative sound design on synths and vocals, Guitar Rig 7 Pro delivers.

Who Is It For?

Guitar players who want session-ready amp tones without carrying real amplifiers to every gig. Bass players who need studio-grade Ampeg emulation for direct recording. Producers using guitar amp saturation on synths, drums and vocals for aggressive character. Sound designers building distorted textures with 115 effects covering every colour. Anyone tired of switching between four different guitar amp plugins when one covers Fender, Marshall, Vox, Mesa Boogie and boutique tube amps in a single interface.

How Producers Use Native Instruments Guitar Rig 7 Pro

Rock and metal guitarists dial in the Superfast 100 for lead tones and Bass Rage for bass tracks — one plugin covers both. Producers use Guitar Rig 7 Pro on synth patches for aggressive amp saturation that transforms clean synths into gritty leads. Vocal producers reach for tube amp distortion on background vocals for the distorted layer effect. Sound designers layer multiple effects racks with the new signal flow view for complex chained processing. See our mixing plugins collection for related tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Guitar Rig 7 Pro worth upgrading from Guitar Rig 6?

For anyone using amp emulations regularly, yes. The four new amps modelled with ICM technology feel more responsive than the older Guitar Rig 6 models. Loop Machine Pro is genuinely useful for practice and songwriting. The new signal flow view speeds up complex chain building. Existing Guitar Rig 6 owners get upgrade discounts.

Can Guitar Rig 7 Pro be used on synths and vocals?

Yes. Producers routinely use amp emulations on synths for aggressive distortion, on vocals for tube warmth, and on drums for parallel bus saturation. Guitar Rig 7 Pro is a distortion and effects plugin — the “Guitar” in the name reflects its origins, not its use cases.

Does Guitar Rig 7 Pro work on Apple Silicon?

Yes. Native Apple Silicon build. Runs on M1 through M5 Macs without Rosetta.
