Overloud adds AIR to THU - "Amp in Room" technology delivers the feel of a real amp in a real space

Overloud has announced the release of AIR or "Amp In Room." This new feature is included in the latest version of THU, Overloud's flagship guitar amp simulation suite.

Available now as a free update for all THU users, AIR brings a new dimension to amp simulation by recreating the feeling of standing in front of a real amp in a real room, adding subtle reflections, room resonance, and air movement that go far beyond a close-mic'd speaker.

AIR is free for all THU v2 users

Whether you own a single Rig Library or the full THU Premium suite, AIR is included at no cost. This continues Overloud's ongoing commitment to support the THU community with high-value feature updates without subscriptions.

Every Overloud purchase includes a perpetual license, free lifetime updates, and authorization on three computers, with no subscription required.

What is AIR?

THU is a powerful amp simulator. Now, with AIR, it includes a key feature for delivering a finished, authentic guitar tone in one plugin. By modeling how a speaker cabinet interacts with its physical environment, AIR introduces a sense of spatial realism, one that's rarely captured through traditional cabinet IRs or static mic placements. The result is a tone that feels more lifelike, three-dimensional, and truly "in the room."

How to use AIR

AIR lives in the Cabinet section of THU and includes:

• An AIR knob that controls the amount of room interaction and spatial detail.
• A dropdown menu offering several ambience types in both Normal and Wide stereo modes.
• Normal mode provides tight spatial cues while Wide mode expands the stereo field for an even more immersive tone.
• AIR is also integrated into the SuperCabinet, allowing users to apply room interaction while building their own custom IR blends.
• AIR can be enabled globally from the Master Control section to apply across all presets.
• Transformer: Authentic low-end thickening and high-end sparkle through accurate transformer emulation.
