A software collection of guitar amps, speaker cabinets and effects that lets you create professional guitar tones directly on your computer via an audio interface.

S-Gear delivers the sound of a high-quality valve amp, turned up loud and professionally miked in a suitable acoustic space. Five distinctive boutique-designed amps – from the tweed-inspired Custom 57 and the dynamic medium-gain amp The Duke to the high-gain model The Jackal – are paired with accurate, convolution-based speaker cabinet emulation. A flexible effects rack with modulation, reverb, delay and the ProConvolver, plus a virtual pedalboard for up to eight pedals, broadens the tonal palette. Presets organised in banks, a built-in tuner and MIDI control make S-Gear practical in the studio and on stage.
