      About RiffrigThe other 10%.

      Tone mostly lives in your hands: how hard you pick, where you mute, what you leave out. No pedal will give you that. The rest is gear, and that part you can study.

      Riffrig looks up the documented rigs of the guitarists you listen to, groups the gear into families, and shows what they have in common. The knobs let you push the result toward the sound in your head.

      Hand-curated from verified sources and fine-tuned by a team of experts.

      Every rig links to its source. Players change gear all the time, so treat each one as a snapshot, not a spec sheet.
