I use Redwirez and another great set that many use is Ownhammer. They provide top drawer impulses too in various formats. http://www.ownhammer.com/

You can buy the lot for buttons.

Thanks for this link--will definitely look at it.  


One more comment about RedWirez cab impulse and S-Gear.  I loaded the Twin Jensen C12N cab impulse with AKG C414, 1 inch from cone position, cranked the Duke first with clean, then with overdrive on, and oh my, oh my, oh my, I have found it, yes this is the "holy grail" of blues amps.  Cranked clean or overdriven, it maintains transparency and yet breaks up with creamy overtones and gorgeous sustain.  I threw the 335 at it and it was amazing, then the strat and wow the chime and the crunch.  Why S-Gear didn't come with this cab I don't know, but it is "to die for" delightful.  So, then I switched from the Duke to the Stealer, and I unleashed a sizziling tone that was every bit as delightful as the Duke but more like a vintage plexi.  This is it.   My jar actually dropped when I heard this combination.  For the record, I did try it also with the Jackal, but it did not work so well.  If you have S-Gear and youv'e got a spare $9, go to RedWirez and get the Twin Jensen C12N; it adds so much to an already fantastic amp sim.

If you really want to go over the top tweaking cab sounds, I wholeheartedly recommend RedWirez' own MixIR2 which allows you to load /layer up to 6 impulses. Great little plug-in - one of my must-have tools. And only $50.

This is like a Penthouse Forum submission for DAWheads. VST porn.


RE: s-gear… at $75, a no-brainer for anybody who needs best-of-breed software for things like amp simulation... IMO. I have it on my list to purchase another license to get 2 more activations… so I can literally plug into s-gear in any room of the house, mac or PC. :)


RE: redwire… $125 skins for the BIGBox bundle is well worth it, IMO… well, if you need a nice selection of cab impulses, of course. 


RE: s-gear + redwire… I'd like to see a better management interface in the future, in the form of extendable browser (by XML file or whatever). Like "go find the impulse and import it" isn't really tickling my tickler. But overall I can't complain! Thing's freaking awesome piece of kit.

$60 on KVR. May even get $5 off that if you try.

I bought a 2nd licence during the Frickin' Freezing period to do just that...
 
The Scuffham package is the #1 choice in my world...

Well, let's see what the new features we can get from this tip.
