NAMM 2009Overloud announces TH1 Triode - Essential Guitar Effects Suite

Overloud has announced TH1 Triode, its Essential Guitar Effects Suite. TH1 Triode features the same technologies and features found in Overloud's flagship product TH1.

TH1 Triode shares with the flagship TH1 the same new twist on the guitar player's stage and recording system by implementing both features and a user interface that appeals to every level of player and producer, regardless of experience and technical know-how. Overloud's tube and analog emulation technology has been in development for more than ten years and has been brought to market in its fourth incarnation in the flagship TH1 first and now in TH1 Triode, resulting in what Overloud believes to be the warmest, most lush and truthful guitar tones ever created with a modeling plug-in.

Exclusive features such as SLR amplifier morphing, free life-like microphone positioning around cabinets, ReSPire cabinet technology, and BREVERB-based reverb, are combined with a radically different and transparent user interface, a selection of mics, cabinets, and amps, stomp-boxes, pedals and rack effects, easy and powerful memory management, and unprecedented real-time control capabilities.

A 14-day full-featured demo will be available for download at www.overloud.com.
