Pettinhouse DirectGuitar 2.1
DirectGuitar 2.1 is an innovative 9GB electric guitar sample library for Native Instruments' Kontakt 2-3. The electric guitar has been recorded directly to the audio interface to allow you to add your favorite amp simulator such as NI Guitar Rig or Amplitube so you can shape the sound in whatever way you like.
DirectGuitar 2.1 allows you to create an infinite number of guitar sounds. It is available here for instant download.
5 position pickup selector
Audio and info about Pickups here
Each selector is 1.2 GB and includes around 750 samples recorded at 24-Bit 96Khz, full sustain, natural decay (no loops), 3 velocity layers, round robin for alternate picking.
It means that if you hit a key repeatedly you can hear two different samples, upstroke and downstroke pick instead of that typical unnatural sound coming from the same sample.
