Yes, they don't call the Fender Twin a Fender Twin but you can tell exactly what the amps and most of the effects are by looking at them.

A tube screamer is green and looks just like a green tube screamer but it's called a Skreamer

My favorite effect is not a real life effect. It's called a Psychedelay. It can do forward/ reverse delays and really complex sound effects.

There are tons of effects and you can set up all kinds of series parallel arrangements and put things in any order you like just by dragging amps, effects modifiers into the rack.

You can save up to 100 presets in each bank and you can have lots of banks.

Each amp or effect has a bunch of parameters that can be dialed in and then you can save that preset in each effect or amp. So for example, you dial in a cool Dual rectifier sound you like, save it and then it is available in a drop dwon preset menu inside the Dual rectifier amp.

You have 9 amps to choose from. Classic stuff like Plexi's, JCM800, Vox AC30, Tweed Bassman, Ampegs, Fender Twin, Roland Jazz amp and probably th most favorite of many guys, the Boogie Dual rectumfrier.

10 different distortion boxes like Tube screamer, Deamon, Fuzz face, Big Muff, Cat, Metal zone, etc.

25 misc effects like
Tremolo, 3 types of wah pedals, chorus, flangers, octavia, phaser, rotator, pitch pedal, several types of eq's, volume pedals, noise gates, compressors, limiters, 4 kinds of reverbs and delays.

There's also a tools section which lets you create split racks for parallel sound chains.
There's two tape deck records.
There's a loop machine.
And some way cool sequencers, envelope followers and tools that can follow your signal and trigger different effect parameters to fire or be changed live as you play.

One of the strongets features in GR is the speaker cabinet emulations.
There's also a bunch of different speaker cabinets from 4x12's to Tweed alnico cabinets.
There several microphones to choose from like sm57, tube mics, etc.
The mics can be placed on the speaker cbinets in several ways like stright on, angled, back of cabinet, far away from cabinet.

Watch th movie at the Gr web site to get a feel for how it works.

By the way, the downloadable demo is only good for something like 30 minutes. There's so much to Guitar Rig that you won't be able to get the big picture before the demo shuts down. It took me several months to dial in some very cool sounds. You just want to play at first so making custom sounds seesm to take a back seat until you start to figure out how it all works.
