Guitar Combos is a great idea in that, with the three amp types provided, you get most of the tones that have driven popular music for the last few decades so you have a massive palette of sounds for recording and practice for not much outlay. Guitar Rig offers more versatility in it's extended range of sounds and ways of combining them but if the full package isn't for you then this is the next best thing, and if you are on a really tight budget just buy the single amp that suits your needs best.
Price: EUROS179 $199 US UKP130 (UKP50 each individually)
