S-Gear is truly amazing - beats all the others IMO.... sounds fantastic. I bought an 11Rack w/Pro Tools 10 and I swear S-Gear sounds so much better. I still love Headcase for high-gain sounds but for everything else it's S-Gear. I've retired amplitube, Guitar Rig, etc.

It's the only software I couldn't replace with something else.

Agreed. In fact it is the only ampsim that for my needs replaces everything else.

Yes, S-Gear is truly great.
I even sold my AXE-FX .... because S-Gear gives me all that I need.

I have been raving about it here, with many clips since it came out:

The 3 things I've asked for since conception go totally ignored. They were "high on the priority list" over a year ago. Meh. A simple "thanks for your input" would have been better than getting my hopes up.

It sounds ok. The "separation" isn't right and give what I can only describe as "false images" (sorry, I don't know how else to explain it) where at times there is a cancelling of the stereo image.

It's TERRIBLE for loading your own IR's last time I checked.

I could care less about that modulator thing. Last time I checked the only really good leslie sim was AT and I don't want a super stereo "GP-8" sound.

I can't even resell it

I was wondering about that - is it not possible to sell S Gear? Just wondering in case - I think personally its the best amp sim...

Was told no. I want to sell it, believe me!

Never heard anything like that.

Can you give us an example of this? Ideally with a S-Gear preset.

This is just using the "delay" on a speaker cab

yep. the 11R is awesome but S-Gear is like playing through s real tube amp.

Well, cool!

Don't use the delay unless your impulses are out of sync. It will cause comb filtering otherwise and sound horrible.

Btw, what's so hard in importing impulses to S-Gear? It's only a few clicks away... maybe try reading the manual.

hibidy · Post by **hibidy** » Fri Feb 01, 2013 2:03 am

I can't seem to copy paste the quote from the manual but it CLEARLY states the delay can be used for "widening".

Honestly, if you are going to tell someone to "rt_m" then know it yourself.

@IR's. That is actually my fault.

This part?
"Try adding a small amount of a short (30‐70ms) stereo tap BBD delay with about a 20% width and a tiny level of feedback to create the sense of a studio space around the guitar and give it depth and realism."

S-Gear is a Winner!
