Guitar Rig was first released on both macOS & Windows in September 2004. Earlier versions of the device contained only six switches and an expression pedal, and did not support interfacing functionality. The device can operate Guitar Rig using eight switches and an expression pedal. It contains an audio interface and DI box, allowing integration with live sound environments. The Rig Kontrol is a foot-operated USB and MIDI controller.

Version 3 included a redesigned interface to allow improved preset categorisation and customised interfaces for "live" use. Settings can be saved as presets and exported and shared with other users. The system allows customisation of module parameters – either through manipulation of the graphical interface, use of a MIDI controller or employment of the RigKontrol foot control pedal.

The software simulates a number of devices such as preamplifiers, cabinets and microphones under pseudonyms (such as renaming the Shure SM57 as the " Dynamic 57"). Primarily designed for electric guitar and bass, the software uses amplifier modeling to allow real-time digital signal processing in both standalone and DAW environments via plug-in ( VST/ DXi/ RTAS/ AU). The Guitar Rig environment is a modular system, providing capabilities for multiple amplifiers, effects pedals and rack mounted hardware.
