S-Gear Requirements

Hardware:

  • Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz (or better) min 2GB RAM.
  • ASIO compatible sound card or audio interface.

Supported Operating Systems:

  • Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit)
  • Windows XP (SP2 or later)

 

S-Gear currently runs under Microsoft Windows only. A MAC version will be available soon, and existing S-Gear customers will be entitled to this. In the meantime, S-Gear will run under Windows XP with BOOTCAMP on the MAC, although the company says they cannot provide full support for this platform.

 

Available Amps:

The Duke

According to the manufacturer:

“The Duke’s tone stack has a subtle mid-range scoop and warm treble lift, giving the amp a sweet tone even when driven with a bridge single coil pickup. Three voicings on the overdrive channel (Normal, Thick and Bright) provide extra versatility.”

The Stealer

“Don’t be misled by the gold front panel – the Stealer is a very versatile amp. Back in my days at Marshall Amps, we had an old red Park 75 Head that sounded like no other amp you have ever heard – like an un-teathered wild horse with screaming tones and a great dynamic. My memory of this Park amp serves as an influence for the Stealer.”

The Jackal

“A take on the modern high gain amp. I guess the purple tolex is a nod in the direction of Mike Soldano’s classic amp of the 80's. The Jackal flies the flag with super crunch and outrageous liquid leads.”
