S-Gear 2.1

S-Gear v2.1
Scuffham Amps is very pleased to announce the immediate availability of S-Gear v2.1.  Headlining this release is the new RoomThing reverb unit, and if you haven't already done so, we suggest you take a listen to Jerry Stevenson's sound clips on YouTubeRoomThing is a versatile algorithmic reverb processor capable of producing very musical reverbs including realistic rooms and halls, big open and fresh ambient spaces, short decay effects for cabinet enhancement, and even some great sounding spring reverb emulations.
 
But that's not all!  S-Gear v2.1 also includes great new functionality such as saving and recalling presets for each individual device and support for drag & drop when importing presets.  For all the details, download the updated manual here.
 
For Cubase and Nuendo fans on the MAC, this release sees the full inclusion of VST3 format with the OS X installation.  We had a rather long Beta on this, but with thanks to those who helped out, the result is a really good plug-in.

    Rain.  You beat me to it!  I was logging in to give the heads up about the new S-Gear "Room Thing".  This is a great and welcomed update to my very most favorite and absolutely wonderful Amp Sim.  For anyone new to this product, it is like having a boutique  hand wired amp all wrapped neatly into a vst.

    LOL - we were stepping out, I had my boots and coat on and everything but I figured I had to post the heads up before we left.

    That's one of the cool things about this place - it's hard to miss an update or a sale or a new plug-in, and there's pretty much always someone who has tried what you want to buy if you need an opinion...

    Thanks for the heads up. I've been meaning to demo S-Gear for awhile now and within five minutes of starting it, I ended up buying it!

    IMHO, it blows away every other amp sim that I've bought or tried, including Amplitube!

    Haven't installed the update yet. I hope the "Roomthing" does spring reverb well. I love the sound of this Amp sim!

    Wait a minute..."boots and coat"? I thought you were in Vegas.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Vegas is finally getting a bit cooler. I always wear combat boots - as soon as the weather allows it. And a suit coat. ;)

    The other part of the e-mail...

    Development
    So what's next on the development schedule?  Well, the top priority now is to deliver an AAX implementation so that S-Gear can find its way into more studio projects. Whilst many working studios already use the S-Gear VST or AudioUnit, we hear from several other studios waiting patiently for something they can use on the ProTools platform.  

    There has been a lot of discussion this year about further development of the S-Gear Amp section. The three core amps have not been touched since we launched the product, and whilst we are still very happy with the range of tones delivered, we are very keen to get working on some new models.  There are several other exciting developments in the pipeline, and we'll tell you more about those when we can. 

    Quality over quantity, but as long as they hold up to the 3 current ones, I can't help but be excited. :)

    It's a good plug-in. Seems to work out of the box too for everyone, which is unusual on Guitar Vsts. It is to guitar vsts what Valhalla is to reverb vsts.

    It's inevitable that they will have to increase its size in terms of amps and effects. Looking and sounding good so far! I recommend it.
