Verdict
Pros
New amps and stompboxes are great. High-gain sounds are particularly good. Easier to use than version 2. Useful LED lights on Rig Kontrol.
Cons
No balanced mic input. Still very processor-hungry.
The bottom line
Guitar Rig 3 offers instant tonal gratification and is a viable option for live use. Great stuff.
