Two words describe the CLA Guitars plug-in: Instant Gratification. Every time I plug in my axe, I just can't stop playing. It delivers the guitar sounds I've used on tracks from Green Day to Daughtry, quickly and easily. It's like a guitar toolbox with all the necessary combinations. The plug-in features three modes—Clean, Crunch, and Heavy—with DI and Re-amping modes for each. You get three color-coded presets for the six most important effects, for the perfect blend of bass, treble, compression, reverb, delay, and chorusing/doubling.
