Guitar Rig 7 ist schön und gut aber ohne Fernbedienung live unbrauchbar
GR has its place, but isn't a practical application for most guitarists. For $300 bucks there are a plethora of multi-effects-stomps out there that require two wires and an amp. No computer, DI, or soundcard required.
That said, the old GR pedal boards with expression are out there on E-bay. Compatibility with GR7 unknown.
