Native Instruments Guitar Combos
The Native Instruments Guitar Combos series combines outstand-

ing sound quality with maximum ease of use and playability. 
Guitar  Combos  perfectly  recreate  three  classic  combos,  using 

the same critically acclaimed technology that has already won 

Guitar Rig numerous industry awards. The lovingly emulated tube 

combos have an absolutely authentic, warm and dynamic sound, 

producing the purest of tones. The different presets only hint at the 

wide musical spectrum covered by these classic amps.
Professional Sound
The Guitar Combos utilize the same Dynamic Tube Response 

technology that was developed for Guitar Rig, giving the series 

the  same  exceptional  sound  quality. The  Guitar  Combos  are 

perfectly suited to musicians with little or no experience of profes-

sional music software. A computer, sound card, a guitar and these 

combos are all that is needed to enjoy the sound of professional 

studio productions.
The Full Spectrum
The AC  Box  Combo  is  the  popular  role  model  that  revolution-

ized British pop music. From soft to distorted—this combo has 

a uniquely inspiring sonic character. The Twang Combo is the 

epitome of the clean and crunchy blues sound. Over the course of 

several decades this warm and unmistakeable sound has made a 

valuable contribution to countless hits. Based on the famous tube 

amps that spawned the guitar legends of the late 60s and early 

70s, the Plexi Combo embodies the rock sound. Its distinctive and 

individual tone can be as warm as it can be hard.

A  device  driver  is  an  interface  that  ensures  communication 

between the software (audio application) and the hardware. In 

recent years, the PC platform has witnessed the establishment 

of several different driver models for sound cards. Some of these 

drivers cannot be used for simultaneous recording and playback 

or for working with software plug-ins, since they do not support 

the full performance provided by professional sound cards and 

cause a long time delay (this is called “latency”).
You will normally find the selection of a driver model for computer 

hardware in the standard default settings of the software you are 

using. If necessary, check the documentation for your software. 

Use  the  Control  Panel  to  set  up  a  lower  latency. The  smaller 

the value, the better. If audio dropouts occur, try increasing the 

latency in stages.
