Feature update for the guitar amplifier, cabinet and mic simulator
We are excited to announce the release of GuitarKit version 1.1.0, a powerful feature update that introduces several new enhancements and important fixes designed to improve your overall experience with this incredibly flexible amplifier, cabinet, and microphone simulator. Whether you’re a guitarist, producer, or audio engineer, this update offers valuable improvements that make GuitarKit more intuitive, more responsive, and more powerful than ever before. This latest version is part of our ongoing commitment to delivering tools that inspire creativity while ensuring professional-grade performance and reliability. With GuitarKit 1.1.0, we’ve taken user feedback seriously and worked hard to add meaningful features while solving some of the pain points reported in earlier versions. The result is a smoother, more customizable, and more stable experience that integrates perfectly into any workflow—whether you’re crafting tones in the studio or fine-tuning your setup for live performance.
Added Four Selectable Input Filters
One of the most exciting new features in GuitarKit 1.1.0 is the addition of four selectable input filters. These filters are designed to allow more precise tonal shaping before your signal even hits the amplifier and cabinet simulation stages. This means you have additional control right at the beginning of your signal chain, giving you more flexibility and precision when crafting your tone. Each filter is carefully designed to target specific frequency ranges, enabling users to: tame unwanted low-end rumble, smooth out harsh high-end frequencies, shape the midrange for clarity or punch, and warm up or brighten the tone depending on the context. These filters are especially useful for guitarists working across multiple genres. Whether you want the tight low end of a modern metal tone or the soft, rounded response of a vintage blues sound, these input filters allow you to dial in the right feel instantly. It’s a small but powerful addition that unlocks an entirely new level of customization.
Fixed Issue with Loading Saved Sessions
Another major improvement in version 1.1.0 addresses a frustrating issue that some users encountered when loading saved sessions. In previous versions, certain settings—including amp models, cabinet selections, and mic placements—weren’t always reliably recalled when a saved project was reopened. This could be especially disruptive during longer recording or mixing sessions, where consistency and recall are key to maintaining a productive workflow. With this update, the session recall system has been refined and stabilized. All your settings are now accurately preserved, allowing for a truly seamless experience. Whether you’re revisiting a project weeks later or switching between multiple sessions during a day’s work, you can trust that your exact sound setup will be there waiting for you—no surprises, no inconsistencies.
As with all HoRNet plugin updates, GuitarKit 1.1.0 is a free update for all existing owners. To download the latest version: log in to your user area on the HoRNet website, navigate to your purchased products, download the latest GuitarKit installer, and follow the instructions to update your plugin. The installation process is quick and easy, and once installed, you can immediately begin using the new features.
GuitarKit is far more than just another amp sim. It’s a flexible and highly customizable virtual guitar rig designed to give you the feel and response of real-world equipment while maintaining the speed and convenience of a digital plugin. By combining detailed amplifier emulations, a wide range of cabinet models, and various microphone types and placements, GuitarKit allows you to sculpt your guitar tone with surgical precision or artistic flair—depending on your creative needs. Whether you’re looking for smooth clean tones, crunchy blues, saturated lead tones, or tight modern metal, GuitarKit gives you the tools to find your sound. With the new input filters, users now have even greater control at the very first stage of the signal chain. This means better tone shaping, better frequency control, and better results—especially when stacking guitars in a mix or tailoring a tone for a specific arrangement.
One of the things that makes GuitarKit stand out is how easily it integrates into professional studio and live workflows. The intuitive user interface is designed for quick operation without sacrificing depth. Advanced users can dig into cabinet-mic combinations and filter types, while beginners can find great sounds using presets or starting from a clean signal path. The new session stability improvements make GuitarKit even more reliable in complex DAW environments. Whether you’re producing multi-track guitar layers or re-amping DI tracks through different setups, you can work confidently knowing your exact signal chain will load the same way every time.
GuitarKit has already found its way into the workflows of countless musicians, producers, and engineers around the world. From bedroom studios to commercial production houses, users appreciate its balance of sound quality, flexibility, and user-friendly design. The 1.1.0 update strengthens that reputation by listening to users and addressing real-world use cases with thoughtful improvements. This update also reflects HoRNet’s continued mission to make professional audio tools accessible to all. Every update, including this one, is free for current users—making GuitarKit not only a powerful tool but a smart investment as well.
With version 1.1.0, GuitarKit becomes an even more powerful solution for guitarists, mix engineers, and sound designers. The addition of selectable input filters means greater tonal control. The fix for saved session recall adds a layer of confidence and convenience for professional work. If you already own GuitarKit, updating to version 1.1.0 is highly recommended. And if you haven’t tried it yet, now is the perfect time to explore what it can bring to your workflow. Whether you’re crafting guitar parts for an album, creating demos, or experimenting with sound design, GuitarKit gives you the tools you need to create with confidence.
