Guitar Rig tip

This is something I've been doing for quite a while, but just in case anybody didn't know - you can load up third-party IRs into Guitar Rig without much hassle.

I only have Guitar Rig 6 so maybe things have changed in 7, but since you can't just slap your own third-party IR into Control Room or Control Room Pro, there's a small workaround using Reflektor.

Reflektor is an NI reverb that lets you use IRs, but what you can do is disable the cabinet in your Guitar Rig loadout, put Reflektor in, and load up a custom IR this way.

This means you can easily use your favourite custom IRs, without having to use non-Guitar Rig workarounds. I think it's awesome.

You can experiment with the placement of Reflektor as well, as it's acting as the cabinet after all when used like this - so you can consider placing it before you delays and reverbs if you want, or after everything, up to you.

I'm not a fan of having to use a heap of non-NI plugins so this has been a great way for me to get my tone where I want it to be, without having to load up some completely different IR loader.
