Hidden Symmetry Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 S-Gear v2.9 is now available and as an existing S-Gear license holder, you are entitled to a special upgrade price of USD $29. The S-Gear v2.9 installers can be downloaded here:https://www.scuffhamamps.com/download/s-gear-v2
cclarry Posted January 16, 2020 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...
cclarry Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Found it... New in version 2.90 Support for HiDPI Displays Scalable GUI Improved Preset management system Redwirez 'Remastered' Cabinet options
Marshall Posted January 16, 2020 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
Christian Jones Posted January 16, 2020 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.
Magic Russ Posted January 17, 2020 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
Greg Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Never got an email for the upgrade. Don’t see how to order on website.

Magic Russ Posted January 20, 2020 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

Bapu Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 I upgraded because as Steve Buscemi said in Fargo "I want to be in compliance" 1
DeeringAmps Posted January 23, 2020 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.
Magic Russ Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Which ones? S-Gear is the only vst3 causing me problems.
DeeringAmps Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 SampleTank 3 for me, consequently I stopped installing IKM Vst3’s. Tom
Greg Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Finally heard back from support. After searching though my emails, looks like I bought s-gear from someone on kvr in 2012! Scuffham support told me to contact the guy who sold it to me over 7 years ago and ask him for the upgrade code because they don’t see that a transfer was done. Looks like I might be down one amp sim. Really surprised by the response. While I can’t recall all the details around that transfer, I know I never knowingly at least ever violate any transfer rules , etc.
