What it is

S-Gear is a guitar amp simulation plugin from Scuffham Amps, available as VST3, AU, and AAX. It models a complete analog guitar rig in a single interface - pedalboard, amp head, cabinet, and effects rack - with a focus on realistic tone and feel over raw feature count. Version 3 introduced a redesigned pedalboard section and updated amp voicings, building on a plugin that has earned a quiet following among recording guitarists for over a decade.

Who it's for

Recording guitarists who want convincing amp feel through headphones or studio monitors. It also works well for producers who layer electric guitar parts and need reliable, natural-sounding tone without dealing with microphones and hardware.

Key features

• Eight amp models covering clean, crunch, and high-gain tones, each hand-tuned to capture a specific character
• Pedalboard section with overdrive, boost, fuzz, and modulation pedals for shaping tone before the amp
• Cabinet simulation with a built-in IR loader so you can use your own impulse responses for complete speaker cab flexibility
• Rack effects section with reverb, tape delay, chorus, flanger, and tremolo round out the full signal chain
