Scuffham S-Gear

Hi!

I'm currently using S-Gear for home practicing / recording. How does this great little plug-in compare to the Kemper PA? Anyone tried both? I'm interested in the core sounds / dynamics ...etc. S-Gear can really deliver some great bluesy / classic rock tones. I'm itching to try the Kemper PA, but it is a lot of money... I might buy one from Thomann and see for myself. How is the return policy? I guess I have to pay shipping both ways :))

I have both and love both, what S-Gear has started is taken far further from Kemper. I have a couple of S-Gear profiles in my Kemper that sounds even better than the original. If you like S-Gear you're going to love the KPA. Thomann has 30 days return policy.

If you're not in Germany shipping is at your charge

I agree with you. I used to love s-gear and now i love kpa.

Different price, but, in my opinion, kpa improves every think i used to like from s-gear.

Saludos!

Thanks! These are encouraging comments.. I think I'll order one from Germany. If it turns out to be not quite what I expected, loosing only the shipping fee is a fair trade-off.

I would be quite surprised if it would be the case.... ;)

Haha, we'll see :)
Not so long ago I made a promise to myself of not buying expensive gear again... well, I just transferred some money to my account. :) I'm on a tight budget, but if this turns out to be so great, I can sell some stuff.

Hope it met your expectations, for me it outperforms any gear I've owned in the past 30 years, including all tube stuff and rack systems...

Let's see if I can recall them all...

Fender: Champ, Deluxe, Twin
Marshall: several JCMs, Plexi
Carvin 100w combo (believe was X100)
Mesa: studio22, Mark II, caliber50
Peavey, and some other I don't remember anymore.

Rack: ADA mp1, Marshall JMP, Mesa Triaxis, old digitech and Rocktron stuff, almost everything from Line6... Lot of other stuff that has remained too short to still remember

Thank you. So do you think KPA can exactly reproduce all these sounds ?
