S gear 2 scuffham
You can also import other WAV impulse responses or make use of 1 x 12 and 4 x 12 IIR filter options. Impulse responses from the RedWirez collection are available, and include1x12,2x12,4x10and 4x12cabs,witharangeof mic'ing options. This owes plenty to the ProConvolver speaker emulation, which utilises convolution technology and features two channels that can be panned separately for a C Stereo effect. Overall, there's a cool realism to the sound. Reverb is apparently in the Scuffham pipeline, but for the moment, if you are using the S-Gear as a DAW plug-in rather than in standalone mode, other effects plug-ins could easily be added to the chain. While delay can add a sense of space that enhances the experience of playing through the software, it's a bit obtrusive in some of the presets, and we did miss a little reverb. All the usual delay parameters are present, with the added bonus of stereo width control and modulation, so you can dial in chorus and tape echo sounds. It features multiple gain stages, and a 'cold-biased' tube stage, as found in an SLO100, and offers plenty of throaty upper midrange overdrive and a fluid lead tone.Įffects are available in a rack that can feature two instances each of the ModThing modulation processor, which supplies chorus and flanging, while the DelayThing delay processor features a wide range of delays, available via its analogue and tube modes. The Jackal is Scuffham's high-gain amp and has a definite Soldano vibe.
The Stealer is the most Marshall-like of the three, being influenced mainly by an old Park 75 head, but the traditional Marshall tone has been given added versatility with a bright contour control that is designed to influence the brightness independently of the gain, so you don't necessarily have to lose glassy brightness as the gain is increased.
