“This is a phenomenal instrument, versatile and playful & above all it sounds really fantastic. It feels like all the different guitars have been painstakingly recorded & the different options one has for reverse/ forward/ major / minor are a stroke of genius. It’s very easy to use and I’m finding it completely addictive. Desolate Guitars is the perfect box of tricks for composers, producers and songwriters in transit or on the road,  I can’t recommend it enough, add this to your Kontakt Library now you fools!”

“Desolate Guitars really hits the nail on the head. The user interface is simple to use and looks great. There are so many gorgeous, but also super useful sounds. The chord section is great. Use of the mod wheel to choose between minor and major tones is an excellent idea. The two amps and spring reverb sound superb. Going forward, Desolate Guitars will be my new 'go to' Guitar instrument.”

“I’ve been on the hunt for a guitar plugin like this for a while but nothing has quite cut it for me, until Desolate. It’s allowing me to take my music to another level with the sounds that it has to offer (especially the ‘Swells’ & ’Specials’ section), and has become a go to plugin for me at the moment when starting and finishing songs. Desolate is very easy to use, looks great & sounds even better. Highly recommend.”
