Maserati GTi

If your guitar had more controls than just tone and volume, they'd probably be the ones in GTi—a different type of guitar processor from Grammy winner Tony Maserati. It's not an amp sim or a pedalboard, but a toolkit for solid guitar sounds that can slide right into a mix, or drive an amp.

GTi is faithful to your guitar's essence, but also dials up versatile, inspiring tones. From clean, commanding timbres, to chorusing that ranges from subtle to deep, GTi takes your guitar further.

Features:

• Created with Grammy -winning mixer Tony Maserati.
• 5 characters: Clean, Clean Chorus, Heavy, Thick Rhythm, Soft Flange.
• Clean and Heavy modes deliver definitive rhythm guitar tones.
• If you don't like choruses—this one will change your mind.
• As a "front end" for amps and sims, GTi adds realism and feel.
• Classic rotating speaker and vibrato effects.
• "Tame" parameter controls peaks, and thickens the sound's body.
• Handles being pushed into the red, for more crunch.
• Effects options are tailored for each of the 5 characters.
• 34 ready-to-rock presets show off GTi's versatility.

The GTi was created with all the different guitar players I've admired in mind. I tried to find settings that would be a starting place for getting their sound, from the 'Clean' in-your-face sound of, say, Elliott Smith to the wide chorus-y spread of The Police's Andy Summers using the 'Clean Chorus' setting. On the 'Heavy' setting, a bit of level and EQ help your already crunched guitar sound scream through any thick instrumentation you've got. 'Thick Rhythm' lets you to subtly or substantially make your rhythm guitar sound livelier; it also works great on Wurlis and Horns. The 'Soft Flange' setting is just that; it adds interesting and subtly audible filtering to legato notes or sustained electric guitars. My intention was to make these effects usable in a wide variety of applications. The wild and crazy FX are out there; you already got 'em if you need 'em.
