Rhino is Aurora DSP's flagship guitar plugin, and instead of copying one famous amp it gives you the building blocks of a whole guitar rig in seven expandable sections. You choose the drive, shape the tone, blend cabinet impulse responses and add effects, all in one window. The range is wide: the same plugin handles delicate clean tones and the kind of heavy, dense guitar sound that fills an entire modern metal mix.

Key Features

• Seven sections covering input, preamp, EQ, power amp and IRs, modulation, time effects and output
• Six preamp models with SCREAM, BRUTE, FUZZ and PUSH front-end options
• Four-file XY IR mixer with Aurora responses and Jens Bogren signature IRs included
• Tone Matching with three target contours, plus modulation and time-based effects
• Standalone version, artist presets, tuner and cross-platform preset sharing

FAQs

Does Rhino model a specific amplifier?

No. It is an original design built from sections, so you create your own sound rather than loading a copy of one hardware amp.

Can I use my own cabinet IRs?

Yes. The IR mixer loads up to four compatible impulse response files at once and lets you blend them, and you can export your blend.
