thanks Paul for this, I tried and bought this because of your previous video and never looked back. This IS a fantastic amp sim and most importantly it feels great (which I never understood really but trying a bunch of amp sims now I know). I have a Studio Rats American Clean in my preset now :) Ps and dont forget to switch off the bypass button ;)
Yep, when I tell a lot of people S-Gear feels different than most other amp sims and much closer to a real amp, many ppl don't get it. It becomes obvious when you try it! :)
Paul, this was great!! I didn't know it but my recording input was way too low, following along on this video made me see that my signal was too weak, and when I tweeked it up it made all the difference to a rich full sound, achieving exactly your tone on this video. I'm a happy bunny now, as my Les Paul now sounds like a Les Paul. Good on yer Paul you've been an inspiration.
Hi , Those tones are awsome, some of the best clean iv'e heard especially amp sims. Could I get a good finger picking tone like Chet Atkins style of this unit hope so . Thanks a lot great demo cheers Les.
Is your guitar plugged directly into the interface? I seem to get pretty hot signals with my Behringer UMC202 HD even with the gain turned all the way down. Can't really make it sound as the way I intend to with my HH jazzmaster
Make shure you have inst switch on in your behringer. Apart from this, I see that your Behringer interface has a pad button, I don't know if it works on the 1/4 jack input but maybe it will serve to attenuate the input signal of your guitar if that is your biggest problem. But if you can change that interface to an Audient, ID4 for example, it seems like a better option to me. These provide a good instrument input with the proper impedance for a guitar. You can also add a good active direct box to your setup, but they cost more than those entry-level interfaces.
Paul, that was so insightful and really demonstrated the deep dive that can be taken in tweaking and creating your own tones. I'd love to see your take on some classic rock crunch tones. I'd sign up for tutorials!!!! Thank you....
I think you are right Paul. This is one of the best sim amps (I like Neural DSP Cory Wong too). Although the sounds and effects are great, they are a little bit limited too. But these clean sounds are amazingly good.
@@aristocaster True.. well i don’t really care since STL AmpHub is a total wet dream to me. They release new amp/fx models every month, and the latest releases are completely insane. I don’t miss my Axe Fx II and Kemper AT ALL… never had this much fun!
Thanx for the insightful look 👀 at this product Paul. Very lush clean sounds. In my ears it was a good old AC 30 sound combined with an old echoplex.. I still use 2 echoplex’s the first is my pre amp as it’s the best pre amp for guitars. Love the gold top it is crying out for a Bigsby mate lol
@@TheStudioRats Hi Paul When I turn up at sessions people often ask what do the old shoe boxes do lol. The Pre amps in the echoplex is that magic sauce. They both belonged to the late great John Martin. Probably not your cup of tea as a guitar player, but he Wass the master of delay and alternative tuning.
wow some great sounds !!! I'm totally new to all of this even playing guitars and a thought popped into my head... wonder if going the "sim" route as apposed to a traditional amp would eliminate the "60 cycle hum" for single coil pickups ???
Great video Paul. You've obviously spent some s-gear tweaking time to get great tone. I see you keep your input signal around 50%. I'll have to try that instead of 75%. It's kind of tough to keep my levels down because I'm using a gen 1 focusrite box and even with the pad button in, it's still a pretty hot signal. Do you think I should upgrade this interface box? Thx.
Great video , my friend downloaded the trial after hearing a demo but when he plays guitar with the plugin, you hear half of a clean tone with some of the plugin's dirt mixed with it and it also has a weird out of phase tone so I'm wondering what is the problem because I'd like to get one and he also does . Gotta point out that he has no issue with his other UAD pluging like Friedman and so on . He his using Protools with UAD interface.
Most my recordings with S-Gear (or any amp sim, I'm not picking on S-Gear) end up being (incredibly) way, WAY too muddy and low end tubby...yet nasty and shrill around 3khz. I'm on a standard Tele, neck position. I just don't get it.
Great video! S GEAR is very underrated. So cheap for the quality you get.
Ther's that 'U' word again.
Nicely done. Very clear, step-by-step, each step explained in detail, and purpose, appropriately paced.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent Video! Tons of great info! More Scuffham S-Gear videos would be welcome!
Man this thing is incredible
Just found it today on your page. As I’m looking for better times than studio one provides
This is crazy good

I found it helpful that you walked us through your process of building a tone. The Marshall (Stealer) sim gets great cleans too!
Great video again Paul,and always a great learning tool for me as I'm generally a plug in and go type!
Spot on, brother man!
Appreciated

For me the best amp sim without a doubt. Great video.

Finally, the demonstration I was searching for. Thank you!

Beautiful tones! S-Gear 2 is great!
I heard S-Gear 3 will be released in a near future. Paul, you HAVE to try STL AmpHub.. trust me! Thank me later ;)
Lets hope, last couple of updates have been over year late what they were supposed to be.

my hand was hovering over that buy button for a couple of seconds...

nope - I still experience it all the time unfortunately
Nice vid thanks! When you're altering the treble on the speaker cab, its in bypass :-) When the red light is OFF, the eq is engaged.
Cheers for the heads up Dan.

Hi Fred, I think you’ll notice a tiny difference upgrading. You should however get better latency.
Great video , my friend downloaded the trial after hearing a demo but when he plays guitar with the plugin,

Gotta point out that he has no issue with his other UAD pluging like Friedman and so on . He his using Protools with UAD interface.
its in mono then and it should be in stereo
great demo
I think that S-gear is the most realistic amp sim in terms of feel and sound!!Amazing!!Check out Mercuriall Euphoria too!!Also amazing!!
Thanks! Will do!
Hi. What is you're signal chain going in to the s-gear?
Guitar into ua apollo
Most my recordings with S-Gear (or any amp sim, I'm not picking on S-Gear) end up being (incredibly) way, WAY too muddy and low end tubby...yet nasty and shrill around 3khz. I'm on a standard Tele, neck position. I just don't get it.
overloading the input could cause that.
@@Astr-w6y Yeah but I don't overload them. I've moved on from amp sims. I record my Fender amp these days. Much better.
Could you do an overdrive demo please
Nembrini free klon centaur plugin+S gear 2
Thanks me later!
Sustain on that guitar is ridiculous.....
I wouldn’t call using tremolo a great clean. There’s many songs I don’t want any oscillation occurring
