The most dramatic improvement is the significantly clearer GUI. The ‘intelligent’ MIDI connections make setting this up a snap: right-click a parameter, select “Learn MIDI for current preset”, waggle the controller and you’re done.
TH3 can also be hooked up to MIDI controllers, for switching presets on the fly or adjusting parameters. The software operates as a VST, AU, RTAS or AAX plug-in, as well as in stand-alone mode for both Mac and PC. The new software feels like playing through an amp, reacting perfectly to how the strings are struck.
Overloud have developed proprietary non-linear algorithms, too, which have noticeably improved the sense of realism compared with TH2. These include officially approved models from Randall, DV Mark, Brunetti and THD, which sit alongside models based on famous Fenders, Marshalls, Oranges, Mesa/Boogies and so on. In addition to seven new cabinets and 10 new effects, there are 24 new amps - 21 for guitar, three for bass.
TH3 introduces a wonderfully simplified interface and racks full of new virtual gear. Overloud’s amp modelling software perhaps hasn’t achieved the same high profile as offerings from Native Instruments or IK Multimedia, but that might all be about to change with the latest version. With new amps, effects and a stripped-back GUI, is Overloud’s modelling software ready to play a headline slot?
