THU Premium includes 251 premium models, widely recognized as the industry standard for modeling accuracy and realism. Among the premium models, you’ll find emulations of legendary gears such as the Centaur overdrive, Tri-Chorus, and Eventide-style Detune Modulation, along with officially licensed amp models from Randall, THD, DV Mark, and Brunetti.
The Premium models are powered by Overloud’s proprietary Fluid Modeling technology, which combines modeling and capturing techniques to deliver unparalleled realism and an authentic playing feel.

Unified Model Panel
THU now includes an entirely streamlined integration of modeling, capturing, and IR processing technologies into a single application. A single, unified panel brings all models, rigs, and IRs together for easy access. Drag-and-drop functionality lets users effortlessly add rigs and IRs to their sound chain.
Flexible Soundchain
You can arrange the models across multiple rows to build your own setups and pedalboards. This minimizes scrolling and provides a clear, comprehensive view of the sound chain. You can split the input signal into two separate chains of amps and effect, process them in parallel, and then blend them together at the output, giving you limitless creative possibilities.
Guitar Doubler
The THU Doubler is the new effect which simulates the double-tracking recording technique from a mono track. You play once and THU, in realtime, doubles your track to create a huge stereo effect.
Meet AIR Amp In Room
AIR (Amp In Room) is the new THU technology that recreates the feeling of standing in front of a real amp in a real space, rather than listening to a close-mic’d speaker. It adds the subtle early reflections, room resonance and air movement that you naturally hear when the cabinet interacts with the environment. The result is a more three-dimensional, realistic tone that feels alive and “in the room,” not just inside your headphones.
Amp Capturing
THU is the first amp simulator which includes both the amp modeling and capturing technologies. The Overloud proprietary technology allows our engineers to capture the response of an entire rig, including the nonlinear and dynamic response of the amplifier, the cabinet, the microphones, the mic preamplifier and the room sound. Each Rig File is an ultra-realistic snapshot of an entire setup. Typically, setups are captured multiple times at different gear settings to provide a variety of tones with the best possible configurations. These multiple Rig captures are bundled into Rig Libraries, available as THU Expansions.
Over 42,000 Deluxe Captures
Over 42,000 Rigs have been captured by the world’s leading sound designers, like Choptones, Michael Nielsen, Live Ready Sounds and Bert Meulendijk, and organized in more than 160 Rig Libraries. The Rig Player, integrated into THU, lets you reproduce every nuance of sampled rigs and incorporate them into your sound chain. You can also fine-tune the tone and dynamics of the rig to match your personal preferences after it has been captured.
SuperCabinet: IR processing redefined
The SuperCabinet is the revolutionary Fluid IR processor, based on Overloud’s Fluid Convolution Technology, which allows to capture the real essence of each speaker and create cabinet tones in a way that has never been possible before. It is included into THU Premium.

Fluid Modeling Revealed
Overloud’s Fluid Modeling is the innovative technology able to capture the exact tone of a device and, at the same time, replicate the full dynamic of each knob. By capturing multiple settings and retrofitting the model to recreate the sampled tone, it delivers unmatched realism.
Fluid IRs Explained
Fluid IRs are an advanced form of impulse responses that encapsulate more detailed sonic characteristics compared to traditional IRs. Unlike regular IRs that merely mimic a speaker’s frequency response, Fluid IRs also reproduce the speaker’s dynamic behavior and harmonics. This enhancement delivers a tone that is more robust, lifelike, and direct, with better management of the bass frequencies.
All THU cabinets and all of the SuperCabinet libraries are based on Fluid IRs. Additionally, users have the option to upload their own conventional IRs into THU, taking advantage of Overloud’s proprietary Fluid IR technology. This technology utilizes an AI algorithm trained to transform your IRs by recreating their dynamic and harmonic responses.
Mod the Models
Thanks to Fluid Modeling technology, THU introduces a new panel that lets you swap preamp and power tube models while also simulating the effect of a variac. You can even transform a solid state model to a tube one and vice versa. This feature allows you to mod any amplifier model with virtually limitless tube combinations, unlocking entirely new sonic possibilities.
Full MIDI Control
Setting up a MIDI floorboard is as easy as clicking an element on the THU interface and pressing the corresponding pedal on the MIDI floorboard. THU learns the MIDI connection and makes it instantly available in any preset. Gigs have never been so much fun with THU!
Bass Models Included
THU includes 4 bass amplifiers, 2 bass cabinets, 1 bass graphic equalizer, a bass tuner as well as a preset bank entirely dedicated to bass tones.
