Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5 Pro

In this Twitch video at 3:03:23, the plugin can be seen in the corner of deadmau5's screen

In his reddit AMA, Madeon says he processes his synths using Guitar Rig. In a separate interview he says "Guitar Rig...has been used on so many of my songs that it's a little bit ridiculous!"

“I like NI Guitar Rig as an effect on things like vocals[...] I do that quite regularly. It’s great running things through the amps, and even if I’m not using much distortion you can get some really cool, different sounds."

"Guitar Rig is a guitar player's dream. Stacks of amps, loads of pedals and multiple mics at the flick of a mouse. I love it !!!!"

"But I'll tell you what I started doing about two years ago, is recording DI and using software guitar amplification, primarily because I thought if I put in a performance that's a once-in-a-lifetime performance on this particular song, I'm going to want to keep it. And I don't trust doing it here at home. But if I record it direct, it'll sit there in the session and then when we get to a real studio and we've got the real band recorded with microphones and a big room, we can re-amp that performance, and re-record it. And that's what we did quite a bit for the [Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards](https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/black-swans-wormhole-wizards/id389927796) record. There are quite a few songs that I had recorded using [SansAmp](http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/classic.html) or [Guitar Rig](http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/producer/guitar-rig-5-pro/), but they were all recorded DI. I would monitor those software patches at home, and then when we got to [Skywalker](http://www.skysound.com/), we either used a combination of those software guitar patches, or we would send the DI out into Marshall amps and different speakers and mic them anyway we want based on what we had captured from the band."

"You chose to use Reaktor rather than Guitar Rig? Well, eventually Guitar Rig worked its way into the process. Sometimes we'd make a very clean patch that only utilized the amp simulators or different arrays of speakers and then take whatever we might be using as the front head and run it through the amp simulator in Guitar Rig." - via the archived [NativeInstruments.com](http://web.archive.org/web/20120204001428/http://www.native-instruments.com/community/tech-talk/trent-reznor)

"I use Guitar Rig a lot to process a whole host of things, not just for distortion but every type of modulation really, it's actually my favorite reverb as well, one of the verb units within it, so I use that a lot."

"The sets nothing crazy. I just use Ableton Live, an APC 40 and a bunch of effects, VST’s to tweak s*** up right away and I use some separate channels besides the two track channels. I’m using three of four channels with like, percussions and hi hat loops and stuff like that like shakers and vocals samples and then I play that over and I try to rearrange the arrangement when I play it live, but nothing too crazy. And then of course he (points to Ales) plays guitar over through Ableton and through Guitar Rig. So… yea, we have fun."
