Hey Ben, I would kill for a video of you breaking down some pro tools sessions from Lightning at The Door. The ambience and layers on that record have always sounded so interesting to me and I would love to see whats actually happening on those tracks.
I have S Gear myself. I had it when it originally came with the Slate Digital bundle and then when they got rid of it, I had to buy it. What I liked about it years ago was it didn’t have the digital harshness that a lot of the earlier amp Sims had. Also, as someone who has a very hard time, designing presets from scratch, it came with a lot of really useful presets right out of the box as opposed to like the 11 rack that I had, where all the presets were overly compressed sounding, and very bright and brittle. With the S Gear, you really have to put in a lot of work to get anything to sound bad.
Great demo of a small fraction of the capabilities of this sim. Love your playing! I have spent several weeks of evaluating software amp sims lately and also ended up with S-Gear. Love at first tone 🙂🥰 This amp sim just "feels" right to me while playing. It makes me forget that I am not using an amp but a sw simulation. Beautiful piece of software by a former Marshall hw developer.
Absolutely awesome demo. I've tried a ton of amp sims too and S-Gear is the only one that fells and sounds right to me although the PRS ones are close. FYI, the Jackal is based on a Soldano SLO-100. The Duke is indeed Dumble inspired. The Wayfarer is a mix. The cleans are definitely Fender. More Deluxe with the bright switch in one position and more Twin in the other (I mean the bright toggle left of the graphic EQ, not the one on the amp itself). The Lead I channel is a hot rodded Fender and Lead II is Mesa Boogie inspired.
Tried guitar rig, lie 6, amplitube, bias fx and the s-gear is the only one that gives you the touch and feel of playing thru an amp. The features are a little lacking compared to the others but I'd rather have that great s-gear tone. It's the only amp sim tried that doesn't take a long time to get a great tone thru my studio monitors. My amps are sitting in my studio rarely played now I'm spending most of my playing time in the computer room. Excellent video and great playing Ben.
Great demo. S-Gear always sounds smoother than most sims to me. Doesn't seem to have the harsh stuff happening at 3k and 6k if I had to guess. Thanks for not doing an only high gain all the time demo. Plus your high gain stuff sounds tons better than what I typically hear in high gain sim demos. Very nice.
Oh, my... the riffage around the 9 or 10 minute mark was awesome. Really, it was all just smokin'. Can't wait to catch ATW again. Thank you, Ben. Please keep it coming.
loving these videos man, keep it up! maybe you could make a video about how you got to where you are in terms of playing-ability, what types of exercises helped you the most etc.
Mate, I was already a huge fan of your work. Now that. Thanks for that. This amp sim blew my mind. Cheers from Brazil! Hope to see u guys here one day 👊
Yeah, I agree with you ...... when I saw "Roy's Dream", the first person I thought of was the great Roy Buchanon. It has definitely got the sounds similar to his famous Telecaster.
Love the video man. From what I understand you had a big role in engineering and producing ATW albums. The albums sound amazing and I’m a huge fan of you guys. As a gear nerd I would I love to see a breakdown of the gear you guys use, pre amps, mics, compressors, all that good stuff. As well as some of your recording techniques. I’ve seen you guys a few times and spin your records regularly. Thanks and I can’t wait for the new album!
Hi Ben , Yeah man unreal sound . One of best blues rock sounds I have heard.. great effects and a top demo . You explain everything well , I need one of these for me and the young guy Cheers and thanks
Excellent demo and of course, very nice playing. Like you, I too had the amp sims you mentioned as well as a Kemper and only kept the S-Gear. As an S-Gear user for a few years, I'm glad I dropped in.
Hey nice video!! Would you mind sharing how you are able to record this live demo? I've been going nuts trying to figure out how to do screen recordings inside my DAW using S-Gear. I've tried Voicemeeter, OBS, etc...I haven't been able to figure out the solution 😫
great stuff man. im so happy your sharing your sound and tools. ATW has enhanced my life on many different levels. id love for you to make a video on your greatest musical inspirations for your playing & sound. cheers
Hi Ben, That is a mind blowing sound . A great sim by the sounds that it produces. Is your guitar tuned down a step or so bassy sound Thanks Cheers Les.
I really like what you do with WOODSPLITER- would love to see a video of how you program the drums, along with recording guitars, and the other instruments as well.
Hey Ben! Do you guys think that you will add the Death of Coyote Woman to your upcoming sets ever again? I really miss that one. BTW Great Playing as always :)
This is the same Ben Mcleod that plays Statesboro Blues note for note??? 🤞🤞🙏🙏 If so, that was insane! You nailed it! #HittinTheNote #ABB4EVER #SKYDOG I bet if you put up a vid of your hands playing that, you'd get more than a few vids. Many of us would LOVE to learn it and for me, watching & hearing slide is the best way. 🤞🎸I've only been learning to play for 8 months so I'm probably getting ahead of myself on that one lol! Duane is the entire reason I picked up a guitar. "Loan Me A DIME" got me. BIG TIME. Edit: just saw the longer Songbirds vid. I knew you were a Duane-head. I could tell by the way you were #HittinTheNote on Statesboro Blues 😎 So am I lol. So, much that my Dad even gave me Duane's middle name as my middle name. 😁 So being a Duane-head runs in my family lol. Been listening to him all my life, since Sept '81 😁👍
Hey Ben! Was this used on the song Rob's Dream from the album ATW? Just wondering/kind of curious because Roy's Dream is very similar to Rob's Dream and I thought it might just be a random coincidence. Or maybe there is more behind it. Love your guys music. Wish I could of seen ya'll in Nashville for the Halloween show but some stuff happened and I can't go. I'll see you in Baltimore on Dec 4th and in Philly on December 5th!
Hi Ben, I'm tryiing to use Scuffham amps with my Scarlett interface and Pro Tools studio. On the selected setting I can hear 2 sounds 1 ( Marshall type distortion ) but also a clean sound which is almost louder than the distorted tone. How can I stop the clean sound ?
As probably THE twin reverb aficionado, what do you think of the modelling on the new Tonemaster Twin? I've always wanted to get a twin because of your playing + sound but got damn they're bulky and loud. Also why'd you remove the pillow case / graphic cloth off your twin?
So, when are you gonna pick up a Dickey Betts "One Brother To Another" signature SG? LOL! I believe those are the ones modeled after Duane's '61 that you played. And then Derek Trucks' Signature SG is a modified version that guitar.
I’ve got both. S-Gear feels better & sounds better to me for clean/mid-gain. Bias is great for high gain, Bass, & acoustic in my experience. Still prefer S-Gear overall
Thank you for making this video. What interface are you using if you don't mind me asking, or more specifically, what does your signal chain look like into S-Gear?

You should definitely do a video of some your playing techniques. Some of your minor pentatonic licks and some of those badass blues/jazzy chords.
This please! Would absolutely love and value this highly.
Great demo of a small fraction of the capabilities of this sim. Love your playing!

Full ack! That was also my impression when first startinh this up! I was so happy, that after my long search for a good amp sim I finally arrived 😍

Really cool, good thing to consider since I'm moving to an apartment where I won't be able to crank an amp
The cleanish tone in the beginning reminds me of Green's live tone I love it
Excellent demo and of course, very nice playing. Like you, I too had the amp sims you mentioned as well as a Kemper and only kept the S-Gear. As an S-Gear user for a few years, I'm glad I dropped in.
wow man. This has some nice character and made w love. Definitely by an experienced guitarist. Can't wait to try it.

Damn man, I would buy a record of you just playing through this all by yourself, especially that heaven reverb. Kick ass
Hi Ben, That is a mind blowing sound . A great sim by the sounds that it produces. Is your guitar tuned down a step or so bassy sound Thanks Cheers Les.
I really like what you do with WOODSPLITER- would love to see a video of how you program the drums, along with recording guitars, and the other instruments as well.
if the drums are programmed or if they are recorded live.
S-gear is still so good after all of these years. I feel like every new amp sim should have to post and s-gear shootout before selling its product!
Hey Ben! Do you guys think that you will add the Death of Coyote Woman to your upcoming sets ever again? I really miss that one. BTW Great Playing as always :)
You could definitely do a Gibson Masterclass or something ;) Your sound is very distinct on all ATW recordings.. Amazing tones.
Best sign off quote of any youtube channel. Keep it up!

Very impressive work. You play very well. Toodlez. Going to have to give this a try. Price point is very affordable.

Beautiful vibrato you got there ...
Pretty much sums up my thoughts on this whole video - 6:32
I just love that button part😂
I'm assuming the LDR tremolo is probably an optical tremolo, with LDR standing for Light Dependent Resistor.
Great video! Will U use it in a recording?
Outstanding. What tuning r u using?
Just awesome!
4:26 let's see what LDR is...
Oooohhhh!

What speakers do you run this sim through???
Do you ever live steam on twitch?
12:04 never press the red button
Do you use an iLok for your ProTools and plug-in's?
Is it just me or does Roy's/Rob's Dream have that No Quarterish tone to it?
Awesome!
What interface are you using?
Little bit of No Quarter at 5:58
Rob's dream
@@siriplaydopethrone8973 same thing 😂

@@siriplaydopethrone8973 you it is a direct reference to No Quarter right?? You know the song "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin?

@10:48 what is this? Sounds very familiar... Sleep maybe?
It's Swallowed by the sea from atw
What are the PUs in that guitar?
Glad you don’t talk too much!
Anyone interested in this great amp-sim, its currently on sale for $99
After Christmas it was 99$ too. I got it and like it a lot!
Kind of wish I would have watched this before buying BIAS FX..
bias is just as great. also it would be way better for bass guitar. s-gear has no good bass amp sounds
Definitely great for bass guitar. Been having a ton of fun with tracking bass lines! I’m just still overwhelmed with all the BIAS options.
S gear is far better than bias
I’ve got both. S-Gear feels better & sounds better to me for clean/mid-gain. Bias is great for high gain, Bass, & acoustic in my experience. Still prefer S-Gear overall
Subí más video rey!

I concur with your last 7 words. Who gives a crap, just play guitar. That's gotta be a song.
