Guitar Rig 8 Review: A Creative Powerhouse, Not Just an Amp Sim Rating: 4.2/5 Best for: Sound designers, experimental guitarists, and producers seeking sonic mayhem. Not ideal for: Pure analog purists or those wanting a “simple” classic pedalboard. What’s New in Version 8? At first glance, Guitar Rig 8 doesn’t look radically different from GR 6 or 7.
