Rig Player

TH-U is able to load rig profiles created by sampling real stage and studio setups. The Rig To Model (R2M) proprietary technology allows Overloud engineers to sample and capture the response of an entire rig, including the nonlinear and dynamic response of the amplifier, the cabinet, the microphones, the mic preamplifier and the room sound. Rig To Model technology allows the user to capture both analog and digital setups. The Rig Player, integrated into TH-U, is able to reproduce any nuance of the sampled rigs. Overloud is currently sampling artist rigs and plans to release expansion libraries at a later date.

Amp Tweaks

Thanks to its innovative DSP technology, TH-U features a new panel which allows changes to the pre and power tubes models, as well as a simulation of the action of a variac. This allows modifications to any amplifier model with an almost limitless combination of tubes and opens TH-U to new sound capabilities.

British Classics

Along with the release of TH-U comes Overloud's first Rig Library expansion pack. British Classics is a TH-U Rig Library containing 29 legendary British amp models (29 amps and 29 cabinets) and 29 presets. Presets from the British Classics library load into the Rig Player component, available in any TH-U version (TH-U Full, TH-U Rock, TH-U Metal, or TH-U Funk and R&B).
