Overloud TH-U turns your iOS device into a Guitar and Bass amp simulator, to let you play live, practice or record: standalone and AUv3, with IR Loader included.

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.
