Presets for Guitar Rig 5 — Feature Specification

Goal

Provide a set of curated, playable presets for Guitar Rig 5 that showcase its strengths across genres and use cases, are easy to load, and include notes on signal chain, MIDI/automation, and recommended playing/context. How to access them:

3. High Gain and Modern Metal

• "Rammfire" : Custom designed with Richard Kruspe of Rammstein. This is a monstrous, industrial-grade distortion. It has a unique "4x12 Modern" cab simulation that cuts through dense mixes.
• "Skreamer Lead" : An Ibanez Tube Screamer pushing a high-headroom amp. Tight, compressed, and fluid. Ideal for 80s hair metal or prog rock solos.
• "Savage Beast" : Based on the Engl Savage 120. This is modern death metal. It has a tight, percussive attack and a scooped midrange. Perfect for drop-tuning and palm muting.

How to access them:

1. Clean (Stereo) : Preset: "Jazz Chorus" – Mods: Turn off reverb, add tape echo.
2. Crunch (Left/Center) : Preset: "AC Boost" – Mods: Increase the "Gain" to 6/10, add a compressor.
3. Rhythm (Heavy) : Preset: "Rammfire" – Mods: Decrease the bass to 4/10, increase mids to 7/10.
4. Lead (Solo) : Preset: "Skreamer Lead" – Mods: Add a wah pedal before the amp, and a pitch shifter (+1 octave) mixed at 15%.
5. Experimental : Preset: "Reverse Reverb" – For shoegaze and ambient swells.

1. The Tag System: Guitar Rig 5 uses a color-coded tagging system. You can filter by Characteristics (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Heavy), Effects (Delay, Reverb, Wah), or Artist tags. This is the fastest way to go from "I need a slapback delay for rockabilly" to actually playing it.
2. The Favorites Star: When you find a preset that clicks, click the star icon. Building a "setlist" of 10-15 favorite presets saves you from scrolling through hundreds of options during a writing session.
3. The Snapshots: Inside each preset, the "Snapshot" feature (the camera icon) allows you to save different variations of the same preset. For example, a "Plexi Lead" preset could have snapshots for "Rhythm," "Boosted Solo," and "Clean Roll-off."
