1. Guitar Rig 3: Kontrol Edition

Editors' rating: 8.3

The good: Guitar Rig 3 Kontrol Edition is a hardware and software bundle that turns your computer into the ultimate guitar amplifier for home recording and wannabe rockers. The included pedal board acts as a high-quality USB 2.0 computer soundcard and MIDI interface.

The bad: Guitar Rig requires a fast computer. Live performers might hesitate to trust a computer-dependent product onstage.

The bottom line: If your guitar and your chops are getting dusty, Guitar Rig 3 Kontrol Edition is an outstanding way to rekindle your delusions of rock stardom.
