I think we've captured some of that magic with the '57, but above all this, the amp is addictive and fun to play!" The classic tweed amps of the late 50's and 60's feature on so many great recordings and are much loved for their simplicity and raw tone. The presence, hi-cut and sag adjustments can really help fine-tune the character of the sound, and with careful matching of speaker cabinet, you can achieve authentic vintage sounds or opt for a more modern speaker to create your own unique tone. The '57 is very responsive to the power-amp tweak controls. Like a classic Tweed Deluxe, this amp starts to break up around 4-5, and develops a rich power-amp overdrive when pushed all the way to 12. Rather than stick to a vintage correct tone section, we've included a bright-contour control similar to that found on The Stealer - giving you a huge amount of flexibility from the very simple control section. The control line-up is simple and dialling in great vintage tones is effortless and fun. "Introduced in S-GEAR v2.4, the Custom '57 is inspired by the famous Tweed Amps of the late 50's. They don't realize each model is at least 3 amps in one. I think people look at the limited number of amp models and tend to want to dismiss the product. It does a good job of describing the range of each of the models. I think I stole this from the S-Gear web site some years ago. It can be had inexpensively used, and if you ignore the goofy compression feature, the preamps themselves are very clean, and the instrument level inputs feel and sound great. Another very approachable option is a last generation Focusrite Octopre (or LE). One way to approach this is to use your hardware modeler as the clean preamp, since it is designed for guitar. Spending the time to research good guitar preamps is a good investment toward future results. There are a lot of interfaces that sport "instrument level" preamps, but they are not necessarily good. It doesn't have a lot of tricks, but the tricks it has are done VERY well.Ī HUGE key to success with S-Gear is to have a good instrument preamp. Nine times out of ten, if I think I need to reamp, I choose the S-Gear option, since I can continue to tweak it on the fly, and S-Gear just sounds freakin' great. From there, I can either tweak the hardware modeler's track with EQ, reamp it using the clean track, or run the clean track through S-Gear. Both signals are recorded on separate tracks. When I record, I run my guitar into a Lehle P-Split and into my hardware modeler of choice and a good tube instrument preamp of my own design.
