Guitar Rig 6
Guitar Rig 6 is a VST audio plugin from Native Instruments that functions as a multi-effects rack and guitar amp simulator. It models 17 legendary guitar and bass amplifiers using Native Instruments' Dynamic Tube Response technology, plus a comprehensive library of effects for tone shaping. Guitarists, bass players, and other musicians use it as a plugin within their digital audio workstation to create and experiment with audio processing chains, adding warmth, character and effects to guitars, bass, strings, drums, synths and other instruments. Guitar Rig 6 is available in standalone mode and as an AU/VST/VST3 plugin.

1 suggestionGuitar Rig 6 is distributed and updated through Native Instruments' own Native Access application, not through the host DAW's plugin manager or a generic app store. If you are running an Intel-only build of Guitar Rig 6, Native Instruments has shipped native Apple Silicon support — the latest versions are Universal Binaries that run natively on M-series Macs. To get the native build: open Native Access on your Mac, log in with your Native Instruments account, navigate to Guitar Rig 6, and check whether an update is available. If you see a newer version listed, click it to download and install the native build. The update will be served automatically based on your Mac's architecture, so you will receive the arm64 native version on an M-series Mac. Native Access is the authoritative update channel for all Native Instruments plugins and instruments, so this is the safest and most reliable way to stay current. If you do not have Native Access installed, download it from native-instruments.com — it is free and manages all Native Instruments products on your system.
