It looks as though there's a version 5 out now (summer 2011). I acquired Guitar Rig 4 LE with a cheap electric guitar recently--quite good sounds with decent computer speakers--and when I checked I found v5 to be all over the place. Hopefully, somebody who knows details can write an update.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.94.219 ( talk • contribs) 11:36, 23 August 2011
Please stop restoring the unsourced material in the components section. One reversion said "These are not in the manual (probably for copyright reasons)" If they're a copyvio, they can't be here. If they're unverifiable and unsourced, they can't be here. The Dissident Aggressor 19:03, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Everyone. Quick explanation: The reason companies typically don't publish lists of the hardware they emulate in software is that they would have to strike a deal with every copyright holder in order to be able to use the original brand name and model name in their software or its documentation. Listing the names of said brands and models on a Wikipedia page however is not conflicting with copyright in any way.
This also explains why there is no "official" source to back up the information given in the list - however, there are plenty of clues in the component naming and the sound characteristics of the modeled devices to safely deduct what guitarists and producers need to know. This is certainly "verifiable" information, the verification just requires the right set of musical background knowledge, and some time. You probably won't find this published in print anywhere, which is precisely why this article used to be so valuable.
I would strongly vote for restoring the list as I don't see any benefit in removing helpful information that contributors have collaboratively collected here over the different versions of Guitar Rig. And I would like to see a much more constructive approach by other editors if there are reasonable doubts about the content. Just removing it all is certainly not the way to go. -- FlixFlux ( talk) 21:12, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
I know I'm not the only person who was using this page for the list of components, since this little exchange occured, so here it is:
