A new release is now available from the Download page. As well as bug fixes, the ProConvolver channels now offer a channel delay control allowing wide stereo and room ambience effects.

We are pleased to announce the release of S-Gear v2.0! The files are now available from the Download page. The new rack gives you much more control over the effects processing, and it also means in the future we can deploy new rack devices very easily.

Version 2.0 highlights include:

  • Drag & drop flexible effects rack
  • ModThing dedicated modulation processor
  • More MIDI controller options
  • Revised factory presets

For current users moving to v2.0 please read the Upgrade Notes for important info!

"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]

Interview with Mike Scuffham Of Scuffham Amps by Scott Collins, Guitar Muse, 11 January 2012

"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"
