"Here, you achieve multiple sounds that are fun to play - from classic rock, to bone dry AC/DC riffs to meaty Volbeat...Even though offering only three amps, S-Gear is highly competitive when it comes to grown up guitar sound from your computer. These amps hit the right tone."

"So erreicht man diverse Klangfarben, die richtig Spaß machen, von klassischem Rock, über knochentrockene AC/DC-Riffs bis hin zu vollmundigen Volbeat-Einlagen...Trotz einer Auswahl von gerade drei Verstärkern zeigt sich S-Gear der Konkurrenz gewachsen, wenn es um ausgewachsenen Gitarrensound aus dem Rechner gilt. Die Verstärker treffen den richtigen Ton."

"With one foot rooted in traditional amp design and one in coding, Mike has a unique perspective on both the past and the future of guitar signal processing and amplification." [Scott Collins]...

"I am sure that physical amps will always have a place, but without a doubt, software amps will dominate the future. In my view, what makes a great sounding amp simulation might just as likely be in the small detail of the execution as in the particular technology that is used." [Mike Scuffham]

"Men viktigast av allt är såklart hur det låter. S-Gear imponerar från de renaste tonerna till den råaste disten och spelkänslan är total. Förstärkarna reagerar lika dynamiskt som man kan förvänta sig och låter minst sagt fantastiskt!"

"S-Gear impresses from the purest tones to the crudest distortion and game experience is total. The amplifiers react as dynamic as one would expect and sounds nothing short of extraordinary!"

"...but S-Gear sounds so right...that it simply behaves like a classic rock amplifier...I almost forgot how simple it could be to just play a guitar"

"Which brings us to the most important point, the Sound. A modelling-software, which sounds and reacts so dynamic, tube-like, and versatile is hard to find. Silky and very expressive clean sounds, sparkling treble, full distortion, that reacts to your style of play and that is controllable through the volume potentiometer on the guitar, richness of sound, deep bass, and warmth; a very flexible modulation delay, that sounds as warm as an analogue one, as well as a realistic and modifiable speaker emulation, that can be switched off if need be, that offers impedance regulation and up to two virtual speakers simultaneously. With all of that S-Gear is totally convincing."

"Und damit sind wir beim wichtigsten angelangt, dem Sound. Eine Modeling-Software, die dermaßen dynamisch, röhrenähnlich und vielschichtig klingt und reagiert, erlebt man selten. Seidige und ausdrucksstarke Clean-Sounds, prickelnde Höhen, reichhaltige und ansprechend mit Spielweise und Volume-Poti an der Gitarre steuerbare Verzerrungen, Klangfülle, -Tiefe und Wärme, ein analog warm tönendes und äußerst flexibles Modulation-Delay-Gerät, sowie realistische und modifizierbare sowie im Bedarfsfall auch abschaltbare Boxen-Emulationen mit regelbarer Impedanz-Beeinflussung und bis zu zwei virtuellen Boxen gleichzeitig bietet S-Gear und überzeugt damit voll und ganz.."
