Sign up to the Overloud account to: - unlock 17 additional FREE models and Rigs - get the iOS license of all models and Rigs at a very competitive price if you already own TH-U and Rig Libraries for Desktop Overloud TH-U for iOS runs the same DSP full processing of the Desktop version for an unprecedented simulation quality. The AUv3 included format allows you to process your DAW guitar tracks with the full power of the TH-U audio engine. You can share presets with the Desktop version using the most common cloud services, like iCloud, Dropbox or Google Drive. Overloud TH-U is stage ready: you can fully control it using any MIDI pedalboard and play with no gaps thanks to the seamless preset change feature. Overloud TH-U can process your guitar sound while the device is playing a backing track through your preferred App (Music, Youtube, Anytune, …). Overloud TH-U has a flexible sound chain: you can add any number of effects, change their order with no limitations, and set up parallel chains of effects. With the Amp Tweak feature, you can customize the amplifiers by changing the preamp and power amp tubes, and simulate the action of a Variac. The ReSPiRe 2 technology allows you to choose between the real response of the cabinet and a processed version optimized to fit into a mix and avoid frequency overlap with other instruments. ## Key features - Guitar and bass amp simulation - Extensive cabinet and pedal effects library - IR Loader - Rig Player for captured tones - AUv3 support for DAWs - MIDI pedalboard control - Amp Tweak customization ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | TH-U FREE Pack | Free | one-time | | 11201 pack | $0.99 | one-time | | 11210 pack | $0.99 | one-time | | 11237 pack | $0.99 | one-time | | TH-U RockGuy for Desktop | $0.99 | one-time | | BHS Iconic 1 Hair Metal RigLib | $26.99 | one-time | | 11325 pack | $0.99 | one-time | | 11327 pack | $0.99 | one-time | | TH-U Rock Collection | $29.99 | one-time | | TH-U Metal Collection | $29.99 | one-time | | American Classics Rig Library | $17.99 | one-time | | TH-U Premium | $119.99 | one-time | | TH-U Full for Desktop Owners | $59.99 | one-time | | FX Pack | $24.99 | one-time | | TH-U RockGuy Collection | $29.99 | one-time | | Tumble ODS | $4.99 | one-time | | TH-U 60's Pack | $29.99 | one-time | | Distortion Bundle | $27.99 | one-time | | TH-U Funk and R&B Collection | $29.99 | one-time | | Randall T2 | $4.99 | one-time | ## What do users think of Overloud THU?

I may be misunderstanding a requirement, but it seems like I only needed to have made a purchase this year, which I did on my iPad. Overall, I also feel the tones are just not quite worth the hype either. Other people love the app, so I’m probably an outlier. Feeling a bit ripped off. ### 3/5 — Awesome sounding app, not so great UI *2025-09-10* I love this app and the way it sounds. But even after using it for such a long time i still wish the knobs itself could be turned at your fingertips instead of having to use the sliders in the side bar. It is just not intuitive and literally all amp sims/fx apps on ios use the touchscreen to adjust the knobs instead of using sliders in a side menu. I was hoping version 2.0 would finally offer this function, but still no go. This is almost the only app on iOS that doesn’t properly utilize touch screen in that way. ### 5/5 — 환불요청 *2025-08-11* 환불요청합니다. 본사에 문의하니 앱스토어에 요청하라고해서 글남깁니다. 빠른처리 부탁합니다 ### 5/5 — Midi issues with current version *2025-06-24, version 1.5.7* UPDATE 6.23.25: Soon after my review was posted (although written a few days prior) the app was updated and the midi and rig player issues were fixed! AND THEY ADDED THE DOUBLER AND TRANSPOSER which were new features in the new desktop version. The doubler makes my guitars sound huge!!! Upgraded my rating from 4 stars to 5. I would give it 10 if I could The current version, 1.5.6 has many issues with midi. Pretty much doesn’t work. There’s also an issue with rig player temporarily locking up if you move your pedals around in your effects chain. Previous versions worked perfect. This app used to be so stable, never had any issues with it until now. It’s probably an incompatibility issue with iOS 18.3. I would hold off updating to this version. Although I believe support is on top of the issues. This is not a knock on the app, just a psa for users. Other than these recent issues, this app is fantastic! Some of the best amp modeling you can get. The desktop version is ridiculously great as well. Just the best all around amp modeling you can get for mobile and desktop. Tech support is great as well. In-app purchases are very affordable too. Thanks Overloud folks! ### 4/5 — Midi issues with current version *2025-06-20* The current version, 1.5.6 has many issues with midi.

However be warned - this version is broken. If you need midi control wait for a fix. 1.5.4 worked fine but you cannot downgrade. Once fixed I will give 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Midi issues *2025-06-11, version 1.5.6* Midi no longer works with current version. ### 3/5 — Has become unstable and crashing *2025-06-07, version 1.5.6* I have been using Thu for a few years without problems. Mainly the Rig Player and some of it’s modules which sound great. Since updating to ios18.5 thu has become very buggy and crashes constantly. I hope this can be fixed quickly. ### 4/5 — pretty good *2025-06-01, version 1.5.4* i love this app!!! i am hoping we also get the new update soon(also is there a way to get it on laptop? i’ve bought many components but they don’t show on my account) ### 5/5 — Juste super ! *2025-04-02* J’ai acheté cette appli après en avoir essayé quelques unes….j’avoue que c’est juste super ! De bons sons avant tout ! Une guitare , un iPad 10 , une carte son Focusrite 2i2 4ème génération , un hub usb ,un casque ou un ampli hi-fi…voire une sono … Plus de poids à manipuler , trimbaler, brancher ….simple et efficace , c’est ce que je cherchais . ## Frequently asked questions about Overloud THU ### What does Overloud TH-U do?
