GTR3 delivers precise and expressive guitar tones by employing advanced sampling techniques that surpass conventional modeling methods. Developed in collaboration with Paul Reed Smith, it features a dedicated hardware guitar interface designed to provide proper impedance and level matching. This ensures the authentic sound, volume, and dynamic range of a real guitar input, minimizing signal loss and enhancing model realism for a natural playing experience.

The software offers a direct input option for a clean, transparent tone alongside an extensive collection of sounds inspired by iconic amplifiers. Users have access to 25 guitar amps, 7 bass amps, 29 cabinets, and 26 stomp effects, complemented by various microphone choices and settings. Expert presets and effect chains allow for quick setup, while real-time MIDI control and sync-to-host BPM effects provide dynamic performance capabilities.

GTR3 is available in flexible purchase options, allowing users to acquire the software and the custom hardware interface separately or as a complete package. The hardware interface integrates seamlessly with either the Native or TDM versions of the software, making it suitable for both standalone use and integration within digital audio workstations. This combination offers guitarists a comprehensive tone-shaping solution with drag-and-drop simplicity and professional-grade sound quality.
