Recently I've been having continuing troubles with irksome neighbours and landlords who find my playing guitar at 4.30pm in the afternoon to be extremely inconsiderate and noisy... Wtf. As you can imagine, it's really annoying for someone who needs to record demos and tone clips at a decent volume.
So, while I look for a new home to rent/buy, I'm going to keep it on the down low (just wait until I've handed in notice, you douchebag!) and I thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to explore some plugins. I asked around on FB and the Six-String Samurai forums, and among the list of usual suspects, Scuffham Amps S-Gear suite came highly recommended for clean/medium gain tones, so I thought I'd start there! Check it out and see what you think http://sixstringsamurai.co.nz/2013/08/11/p...am-amps-s-gear/ -------------------- http://www.six-string-samurai.com - Gear reviews for the terminally GAS-afflicted.

That was definitely a contributing factor to my interest! Todd is certainly the master of plugins, but I wanted to get a feel for some myself as well.

This is the great advantage that we have compared with drummers and singers, we can practice and record ideas with headphones. Your article is very interesting and I think that the whole journey will be cool to follow. The samples sound very cool, my favorite is the Plexmonster tone.

I have been working with Sgear again recently and plan to try out the new version as well. There is a new amp in the latest build! Here is a demo I did and a patch that will live in my permanent S-Gear Preset Vault on my personal board.

Awesome!
I've been playing the new Wayfarer amp a bit recently... it does a decent sounding Mk series tone, but I think it needs better impulses. My mate who tried a different impulse said he found it much more similar to his actual MkV, versus the stock impulse. I haven't experimented much with this yet... but for the moment the S-Gear is still king in medium gain land for me... not so sure about high gain yet! -------------------- http://www.six-string-samurai.com - Gear reviews for the terminally GAS-afflicted.
