Electric Pickup and Acoustic Guitar Emulation

Re-Guitar includes a set of built-in single coil pickups, among them vintage, modern, active, tele, P90 and P90J models. Humbucker options cover vintage, classic, modern, rails, bright, wide and jazz box types. For acoustic work, the plugin offers piezo solid body sounds, acoustic sim pedals, and dreadnought, jumbo, mini jumbo, 000 and small body models.

If none of the presets fit, you can create your own electric pickups or acoustic guitar emulations with the custom electric and custom acoustic models.

Controls, Hollow Body Tones and Workflow

Hollow body thickness and amount can be adjusted to shape a semi-hollow or hollow tone. Brightness and gain controls refine each simulation, and built-in virtual volume and tone pots let you tweak the sound in detail.

The plugin is listed with no latency, and the developer notes that its Standard features include full MIDI control and automation, MIDI Learn, Undo/Redo, a presets manager, and a Smooth Bypass that avoids noise when switching the plugin on or off.
