OVERLOUD CAPTURING TECHNOLOGY
THU is the first amp simulator to include both amp modeling and amp capturing technologies.
These Rig Models are created from real setups. Overloud's proprietary technology captures 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.
The Rig Player, integrated into THU, reproduces the nuances of the sampled rigs and can combine models from different setups.
