Does S-Gear ever go on sale - thinking new Amp sim plugin
So I'm thinking about getting yet another amp sim plugin doohickey.
S-Gear. seems lots of people like it. I will try the demo.
Does it ever go on sale? it's only $129 list so it's not that much money.
I'm just kinda tried of IK Multimedia Amplitube, NI Guitar Rig and my Avid Eleven Rack hardware.
maybe I should go line 6 pod. if I had the money I would do Kempler and Axe-Fx to have great modeling and great fx.
I don't know how to play guitar well so I really am not trying to go over board.
any advice? I was shopping for a Vox amp but in the apartment I live in I think this is kinda ridiculous until I move next year into a house.

S-gear is great. I have Amplitube and a HD500X and I use S-Gear 99% of the time. It doesn't go on sale, at least I've never seen it go on sale. Try the demo and see what you think.

S-Gear is indeed great. Another unsung hero is the new Classic Amps package for EZMix 2. Very good.

I like S-Gear, it's become my go to SW amp modeller. I don't remember seeing it on sale, but it's worth the price.

I am not a big amp sim guy (although I have collected a number of them for some reason). I tend to gravitate towards s-gear when I use an amp sim.
If you have Sonar Platinum (maybe the other editions too), the amps sims called CA-X (I think?) are pretty good too.

S gear doesn't have as many toys as some of the other amp sims, but the sound it produces is very good and the way it responds to pick dynamics is excellent. I find it to be the one I use most often. I think I paid $79 on sale and have received a couple of free updates.

S-Gear is worth every penny....it is also a free lesson in guitar tones and setups....as others have stated above, it does not have as many bells and whistles as other amp Sims but it is in my opinion the most versatile. Sadly, I haven't seen it on sale in a long time.

I got it on sale for $75 in Nov 2012. Apparently with lifetime upgrades.
