Critic Reviews

Scuffham S-Gear

soundonsound.com

Scuffham Amps' S-Gear delivers a surprisingly high-end sound and feel at a budget-friendly price. Its standout feature is the dynamic response and 'feel factor' that closely mimics a real amp, making it a joy to play. The software includes versatile delay and modulation effects, though it currently offers a limited selection of amp models and lacks a built-in tuner. Despite these minor drawbacks, S-Gear's overall quality and playability, coupled with a simple and stable interface, make it a must-have for guitarists seeking a virtual amp that doesn't compromise on sound.
