Waves GTR 3 £95

A bit of a legend of software guitar processing, GTR3’s virtual stompbox effects are among some of the most treasured by home guitarists. Its distortion effects are particularly full-on, while its EQ is up there with the very best. In the 13 years since its launch, its effect library has been interestingly applied to more than just guitar. It’s a bargain now, too. waves.com
