VIRTUAL GUITARIST
“ELECTRIC EDITION”

The success story continues …
The overwhelming success of our Virtual Guitarist VSTi released in
April 2002 almost automatically lead to people asking for more players.
Especially in the field of electric guitars styles there is such a vast
range of sounds, styles, eras and musical styles. It was impossible to
cover all these with one electric guitar that was just one part of a hybrid
acoustic/electric guitarist.
Simply to release more players wouldn’t have done the job as we
found out while laying out the Electric Edition. To just add additional
players to the original VG would just not have been enough. Also, if
you focus on electric guitars, you can’t ignore the issue of effects
being an integral part of the game. Guitar, amp, speaker and effect are
inseparable.
Therefore we decided the Electric Edition had to become a full-blown
product in its own right—with special advanced features to meet the
requirements for electric guitar sounds. With the programmable Multi
FX Board seamlessly integrated, a perfectly sounding, flexible rhythm
guitarist is just a push of a button away. On top you get a range of
first-class guitar effects in a separate plug-in that you can use for any
audio track.
Apart from the totally new design, the Multi FX Board and the new 29
players we have changed very little—we want owners of the original
Virtual Guitarist to be surprised only by the new sounds and styles,
not by an unfamiliar user interface.
Before we start, I sincerely want to thank and praise the person who
was confident enough to let us capture his extraordinary guitar playing
and instrument/amp collection in VG Electric Edition: professional
session guitarist Thomas Blug. A similar incorporation of playing skills,
perfectionism and feel for sound associated with an incredible stylistic
versatility is hard to find—we’re all lucky we did, and you’re too.
I strongly believe you’ll have a lot of pleasure, fun and success with
Virtual Guitarist “Electric Edition”!
Yours sincerely,
