Zakk Wylde-Inspired Guitar Tones for THU

Includes Symphonic 90 and Wild Overdrive
Symphonic 90 with Miracle Mode
Symphonic 90 recreates the heavily modulated, liquid character of the SPX90's Symphonic patch*, used by Zakk Wylde* to create his signature chorused tones. It adds movement to high-gain guitar sounds, providing a starting point for modulated rhythm parts and sustained leads.
Enable Miracle Mode to incorporate Overloud's recreation of the post-processing techniques typically used by the artist, taking the sound beyond the original Symphonic effect.
Wild Overdrive
Wild Overdrive is modeled after the Berzerker Overdrive* (ZW44) pedal. Its aggressive, mid-focused character is designed to push a tube amplifier into heavy rock and metal territory, helping the guitar maintain a clear presence in the mix.

OVERLOUD CAPTURING TECHNOLOGY
THU combines amp modeling and amp capturing technologies in one plugin.
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, cabinet, microphones, mic preamplifier, and room sound.
The Rig Player, integrated into THU, reproduces captured rigs and lets you incorporate them into your sound chain. You can fine-tune the tone and dynamics to suit your playing and production.
