S-Gear v2.2 is now supported on Apple's new OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

NOTE: Garage Band on Mavericks will not load the S-Gear AudioUnit plug-in.
Unfortunately, the new version of Garage Band distributed with Mavericks applies new Apple 'Sandbox' restrictions to any AudioUnit plug-in. The concept of Sandboxing an AudioUnit plug-in is new, and Apple only notified developers (under NDA) last month of their intention to apply these restrictions to Logic Pro and Garage Band at 'some point in the future'. This move potentially breaks compatibility with many AudioUnit plug-ins.

In order to use S-Gear with Garage Band on Mavericks OS X 10.9, you will need apply the following workaround.

S-Gear currently works with Logic Pro X 10.0.4 (Mountain Lion and Mavericks).

Brad Craig (guitarist and vocalist) has collaborated with Brian Hardgroove (bassist with Public Enemy) on a new single entitled, Bailout, with Brad using the Scuffham Amps software, S-Gear, for all the guitar parts. In his studio Craig now only uses S-Gear and said, "I'm using S-Gear exclusively for all my guitar parts (it sounds fantastic)!"

The song is a social commentary on the current financial crisis and subsequent bailout of the banks ultimately posing the question, "When Somebody Gonna Bail Me Out?" Brian and Brad teamed up with Victor Burks (keys and vocals) and Mike Boyko (drums) as the band Hardgroove. Check out the single, Bailout, on SoundCloud.

"Scuffham Amps spendiert seiner Vorzeige-Amp-Simulation mit dem RoomThing eine weitere Effekterweiterung der Spitzenklasse. Damit bleibt S-Gear auch in der aktuellen Version seinem Boutique-Konzept treu. Eine der besten, wenn nicht die beste virtuelle Gitarrenrack-Lösung, die man heutzutage für die eigene DAW kaufen kann − und dabei trotz Preiserhöhung immer noch ein Schnäppchen!"

"And one might also suspect that Scuffham's core consumers might be people just like him - those who truly understand and appreciate the beauty of a traditional amplifier, those who might actually spend more time playing guitar than surfing the web looking for guitar products."
