Guitar Rig Preset Songs
Posted at 20:51hin,byThe days of playing strictly through a guitar amp on stage are fleeting. With so many options available, it’s hard to justify the cost of an expensive amp when you can use an amp simulator or VST. One of which, AmpliTube, has become very popular and is a very real option to use on stage with your laptop or iPad.Personally, I have used AmpliTube on stage and I use it at practices in use with my laptop, an audio interface, and my guitar.

I appreciate the number of different tones and effects I can get using the program and I don’t have to haul a ton of heavy, bulky, and expensive gear. In this post, I’ll show you my setup and how you can use AmpliTube live, either on stage or at practice (using a PA or PA speaker). I’ll also show you how you can switch AmpliTube’s presets using a MIDI foot controller (specifically, I’ll be using the Ground Control Pro), how to switch presets in Presonus Studio One using automation, how to do both (switch presets on a MIDI foot controller and Amplitube at the same time), and give you a few tips for using Amplitube and a laptop live.Finally, while I am using AmpliTube specifically for this tutorial, many other amp VSTs (like Guitar Rig, BIAS FX, etc.) can be set up the same the way.Now let’s get to it. Use the links below to jump to each section:.Setting Up AmpliTube to a PA or PA SpeakerSetting up AmpliTube to play live (either at a gig or at practice) is fairly simple and straight forward. If you’re using Amplitude already, you likely already know how to use the plugin and have most, if not all, the gear you need. But, just for reference, here’s what you’ll need:.
AmpliTube. A laptop capable of running AmpliTube. An audio interface with at least one instrument cable input. One to two speaker cables (I’ll get to this later).

Optional: PA SpeakerIn my case, I have an HP Folio 9470m and I’m using the as my audio interface. This is a great interface that gives me 4 inputs and was only about $100.To start, hook up your interface to your laptop and plug your guitar into an available input on your audio interface:Set the gain level on your interface so the signal is not clipping. This will be indicated by the Clip LED flashing when you’re playing your guitar.Now, to play live you’ll need to send the signal from your audio interface to a PA speaker or PA (the process will be the same). So you’ll need a speaker cable (I’d recommend at least 15 feet to make sure you have enough to get to the PA speaker, PA, or cable snake that your practice space or the venue is using).There are a few ways to do this. Most audio interfaces will have a headphone output. The simplest way to send your signal to the PA would be to plug straight into the headphone output like I have done below:Then, this cable can be sent to the PA or PA Speaker. In my case, I’m using an Alto PA speaker (I like to use this speaker for practice if there is no PA and mixing board available):I can plug straight into one of the inputs on the speaker, set the volume, and I’m ready to play.Another way to send the signal from the audio interface (your guitar signal from AmpliTube) to a PA or PA Speaker would be to use the line outputs on the back of the interface. Most interfaces should have line outputs on the back.You will either need two speaker cables in this case or a.
If you’re going straight into a PA or PA speaker, the Y cable will be easiest to use and make the most sense since your guitar signal will be mono (you don’t need a separate left and right output just for the guitar). You would then just plug this Y cable into the outputs on the back and then run the other end into an input on the PA speaker or an open input on a PA system.However, if you’re using an in-ear system, you can run a cable from each output on your interface into the corresponding input on your in-ear system:Once, that’s set up, you’ll be able to hear your guitar in your in-ear monitors.That’s all there is to it. It’s pretty simple. Now, if you want to change presets in AmpliTube, that’s where things can get a bit more tricky. Let me show you how to do that.First, I’ll cover how you can change AmpliTube in Presonus Studio One using automation (automatically changing your presets) and then I’ll show you how to change presets using a foot controller (in my case, I’ll be using the Ground Control Pro but the process will be very similar for any other controller).I would advise you read the section on automation (below the following section on setting up AmpliTube using an iPad) even if you’re thinking of using only a foot controller to change AmpliTube’s presets. In the section, I’ll cover setting up presets in AmpliTube and assigning them MIDI Program Changes values, which you’ll need to know how to do to use a foot controller. Setting Up AmpliTube to a PA or PA Speaker (When Using an iPad)Now, I typically use AmpliTube on my computer (either my desktop when recording or laptop when playing live and at rehearsal).
But, I’m sure some of you have seen AmpliTube for the iPad (and iPhone and Android phones) and might want to use it to play live.It merely depends on what you feel comfortable with and want to use.
