They've so far steered clear of the software instrument market, preferring to concentrate on sound processing, but their new Guitar Tool Rack sees them entering the guitar amp modelling arena at a very serious level. It consists of a software package augmented by a hardware WPGI preamp that might best be described as a guitar-optimised DI box Waves sought the help of guitar design guru Paul Reed Smith to make this behave exactly like the input stage of a typical guitar amplifier. Apparently Paul was also involved in the voicing of the amplifier models. In addition to amp and speaker modelling, Guitar Tool Rack also offers a comprehensive set of 23 guitar stomp effects plus a tuner that can be used chromatically or set to custom guitar tunings.

The pedals are called up separately from the amp model and are not complete plug-ins in their own right, but can be opened up in virtual 'floor unit' plug-ins that each hold two, four or six virtual pedals.

Doing it this way means that any of the different stomp effects can be set up before or after the amplifier model as is most appropriate. For example, gates, distortion and fuzz tend to come before amps while delay and reverb are usually applied afterwards.

Most of the effects are familiar 'staples' such as EQ, compressor and gate, delay, reverb and various modulation effects such as phaser, flanger, chorus and wah.
