2. What Is OVERLOUD?
OVERLOUD is a plugin-only developer based in Modena, Italy, active since 2007. From the very beginning it has specialized in amp simulation and analog gear modeling, and it has grown into a long-established brand trusted by professional studios, touring musicians and bedroom producers around the world. It is also known as the provider of the IR technology behind “REVerence,” the reverb bundled with Steinberg’s Cubase, so its DSP expertise is well proven. Rather than flashy advertising, it has built its reputation on “quality you can’t tell apart from the real hardware in a side-by-side comparison” – a true craftsman-minded developer.
TH-U (THU) Series – The Pinnacle of Guitar/Bass Amp Simulation
OVERLOUD’s flagship is the “TH-U (THU)” guitar amp simulator series. The Premium edition packs 89 guitar amps, 4 bass amps, 85 cabinets and over 80 effects, including vintage to modern classics from Marshall, Fender, Mesa/Boogie, Vox, Engl, Diezel and Bogner – so this single plugin is ready for real-world use in any genre.
TH-U Strength (1): Rig Player integrates captures & IRs
TH-U features its original Rig Player, which lets you seamlessly combine traditional amp modeling, captures of real hardware, third-party IRs, FX and a looper in a single plugin. Competitors such as ToneX, Neural DSP and NAM also support captures, but TH-U has been refining this feature for a long time, and the growing library of community-made captures, including Choptones, is a major advantage in practice.
TH-U Strength (2): Expand your tonal range with SuperCabinet IR libraries
Many additional IR libraries are available for SuperCabinet, the cabinet IR loader built into TH-U. Expansion bundles letting you choose 10 or 3 libraries are also offered, so you can add cabinet IRs from prestigious brands such as Mesa/Boogie, Marshall, Friedman and Bogner later on and greatly broaden your amp tones.
The depth of the signature pack lineup is another of THU’s biggest attractions. There are seven signature models that faithfully recreate the artists’ own amp, cabinet and FX chains, supervised by the artists themselves:
| Style | Packs | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Metal | Marty Friedman / Glen Drover / All Metal Gears | Marty Friedman of Megadeth/Cacophony, Glen Drover, former member of Megadeth and King Diamond, and All Metal Gears supervised by modern metal standard-bearer Andrei Smirnov. |
| Blues/Fusion | Eric Gales / Greg Howe / Max Ostro | Blues-rock player Eric Gales, fusion guitar master Greg Howe and technical player Max Ostro. |
| Instrumental Rock | Rob Balducci | Fully includes the signature amps & FX chain of Rob Balducci, a master of Shrapnel-style instrumental rock. |
| For Bass Players | Mark Studio 2 (Markbass-endorsed) | A bass amp sim officially endorsed by renowned Italian bass amp maker Markbass, faithfully emulating 6 amp heads and 9 cabinets. |
GEM Series – Precise Models of Studio-Standard Outboard Gear
The other pillar is the “GEM series,” which precisely emulates vintage outboard gear. Using Overloud’s proprietary DSP engine, it simulates the hardware down to the electrical circuit level, modeling transformer saturation, the nonlinear behavior of tubes and even the aging of capacitors. It covers almost all the classic compressors and EQs used in mixing and mastering:
| Type | Models |
|---|---|
| Compressors | UREI 1176 (COMP76) / Teletronix LA-2A/LA-3A (COMP LA) / Fairchild 670 (COMP670) / SSL G-Bus (COMP G) / dbx 160 (COMP160) |
| EQs | Pultec EQP-1A (EQP) / API 550A/B (EQ550) / Neve 1084 (EQ84) / Calrec PQ1549 SUPER-MUSICAL EQ (EQ495) |
| Multi-FX | GEM FUSE, combining six analog color circuits in one unit / GEM TAPEDESK, recreating consoles + tape machines / GEM VOICE, an all-in-one vocal processor |
| Saturation | GEM DOPAMINE tape enhancer / GEM Sculptube tube saturator |
| Modulation/Delay | GEM MODULA (Roland Dimension D style) / GEM ECHOSON, a Binson Echorec-style magnetic drum delay / GEM OTD-2 BBD tap delay |
Another attraction of the GEM series is that this lineup – which would be very expensive to collect individually – can be bought at a big discount with “Bundle of 3 Gems / Bundle of 5 Gems,” letting you pick any 3 or 5 plugins. For users who want to get a full set of vintage gear in one go, it is an extremely cost-effective entry point.
Reverb & Spatial – Classics in Both IR Convolution and Algorithmic Reverb
| Type | Plugin | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Algorithmic | BREVERB 2 | Accurately recreates classic 80s–90s digital reverbs (Lexicon style), with 7 algorithms including hall, plate, room and chamber. |
| Parallel IR | REmatrix | An innovative IR convolution processor that blends up to 4 IRs in parallel or series, creating rich textures that rival hardware. |
| Spring | SpringAge | A dedicated plugin modeling the spring reverb built into guitar amps – essential for surf rock, dub and lo-fi. |
