pwal³ Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 https://www.scuffhamamps.com/v29-upgrade-info for anyone diving straight in, is the vst2 path configurable? Quote S-Gear still provides a VST2 plug-in for Windows. To use this format you must add the S-Gear VST folder to the list of folders scanned by your DAW.C:\Program Files\Scuffham Amps\S-Gear_VST\ tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Is the only thing new that it's Machine Locked, which removes the iLok requirement? I don't see any change log, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 My amp sim of choice for years, but right now I’m not sure I need this update, even at $29. In my mind, it is in need of a major overhaul to catch up with more recent contenders (Nembrini for example). Not excited by this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Jones Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Wow so they didn't even improve the amps at all? I don't own this suite so I don't know that they need Improvement per se, but the high end amp sim competition is hot right now. I remember Shane from Kazrog saying his new amps are taking a bit longer than expected (he initially expected a 2019 release) because the competition for high end amp sims has gotten so hot and his new amps are still not out yet. @Marshall, I don't recall if you ever said or not, but between Nembrini and a comparable S Gear amp which did you think was better?

I bought the Nembrini MRH810 because it was waaay better at THAT sound than anything in that category that I have dialled up on S Gear. Different league, and I’m glad to own it. I know you’re no fan of suites, but I still use S Gear a lot...for most other sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Russ Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I installed the new version tonight. Unfortunately, the standalone was not working correctly. There seems to be a bug in selecting the correct interface. If this happens to you, you will need to find the registry where the name of the interface is stored, and enter the correct interface. https://www.scuffhamamps.com/forum/7-bugs-issues/8949-s-gear-2-9-standalone-asio-devices-selection-bug I also had a problem getting the VST3 to work in CW but it works OK in SOP4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really matter, adding the path in Plug-In Manager is no big deal. Not a "challenge" here, I haven't installed yet and wonder why you are concerned.

Tom Program files has stricter security, which can cause issues, plus, why the hell shouldn't I be able to install it to my vst folder? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Russ Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Not to mention how much of a pain it would be if every developer decided to put their stuff into wherever they wanted, especially for people who had multiple hosts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeringAmps Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 And maybe this is the reason I haven't installed the upgrade yet! And that I don't care where the VST2 dll is placed. S-Gear VST3 failure Tom There have been more than a few VST3's that haven't played "nice" with CbB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
