Soundprops Direct SG Overview

Soundprops Guitar Series Direct SG is a virtual guitar instrument built around the powerful character of dual humbucker pickups. It combines the warm, high-output tone of a professional electric guitar setup with an extensive collection of guitar articulations, chord systems, strumming controls, and performance features.

The instrument includes numerous guitar articulations and effects, ranging from sustained notes and legato transitions to palm mutes, slides, harmonics, tapping, bends, feedback, fret buzz, and pick noises. Therefore, it can cover both detailed guitar performances and more specialized guitar effects.
