When You Hear It, You’ll Get It
With its ingeniously simple user interface, speed-of-light preset preview, true amp-morphing and other revolutionary features, TH1 is already way ahead of the guitar amp-simulation curve. But if you think working with TH1 is a blast, you’ll be absolutely floored by how good it sounds.
TH1 is the next step in guitar amp simulation technology. Using 4th generation amp simulation research and techniques, TH1 delivers the warmest, most dynamic response available for your guitar.
