The strengths of this plug-in apart from the great realism of the product are the addition of a Display and Clip Level.
This tool transforms the sound of your drums, synths, vocals or mix in more dynamic and punchy.

Features:
Emulations inspired to Pultec* EQP-1A, MEQ-5 and HLF 3C
Integrated programmable Clipper for punchy tones

REVIEW:

The Overloud audio tools team has develop a new plug-in called TH-U ROCKGUY.

This new plug-in includes the rockman sustainor and the rockman stereo chorus/delay, .

one of the most famous choruses of the 80s and 90s.

the details and functionalities of this new plug-in allow us to have two legendary pieces in our studio.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

Right from the start I was particularly impressed by the graphic fidelity of these two rack effects.

Compared to the real deal, the Overloud team didn't miss a single detail, replicating these two effects more than accurately.

I immediately noticed that the pre-amplifier allows me to work easily with different parameters and combining the chorus is simple to reach.

those golden sounds of the 80s.

Features:

ROCKGUY SUSTAIN.

-Preamp/Compressor.

-Gate.

-Distortion/Filters.

-Output.

These stages allow us to work on every aspect of the sound we want to achieve.

The longer sustain we find in the preamp/compressor stage, for example, allows us to control compression and feedback.

The second stage, called GATE, allows us to control the sensitivity of the noise gate, and by activating the high cut, the LED allows us to see when the noise gate cuts the frequencies.

The third stage called DISTORTION/FILTERS for example allows us to work on the dynamics of response using the SEC switch, on the drive and levels using BOOST and AUC.

The last stage called output has other parameters such as FREQ, TREB BOOST.

ROCKGUY STEREO CHORUS/DELAY.

-drive level.

-Mode select.

-output section.

The input Drive level optimises the internal circuit level to minimise distortion and background noise, .

the TH-U rockguy stereo chorus/delay offers several possibilities:

The input Drive level optimises the internal circuit level to minimise distortion and background noise, .

The two effects, Chorus and Delay, can be used separately or combined via the MODE SELECT switch.

The Output mix allows us to manage two separate mixes (MIX A - Chorus, MIX B Delay).

The chorus is controlled by the sweep speed which allows us to control the intensity of the effect. We also have two modes called LONG and NORM which allow us to have a standard chorus or a doubler effect.

HOW DOES IT SOUNDS:

These two rack effects allow me in the most complete way to obtain those 80's sounds in the style of Boston, Deff Leppard and many others.

Combining these two units you can achieve results that I thought impossible in terms of fidelity allowing the user to have in a few minutes the golden-tone at home.

VERDICT:

If you are a guitarist, producer, keyboardist or singer, this plug-in allows you to have the 80s in your studio.

As a guitarist, I would say that if you are looking for the sound of the 80s and 90s, you can't miss this plug-in in your TH-U.

plugin: Gem Modula.

Developer: Overloud Audio Tools.

Website: https://overloud.com/.

the overloud audio tools team has developed this new plug-in called Gem Modula.

based on 3 of the most famous chorus in history, the dimension based on the Dimension D.

Known as much for its stereo enhancement and incredibly spacious sound, .

The ensemble unit dedicated for keys, synth and pads and the Symphonic.

based on the spx 90 one of the most famous chorus used by zakk wylde in his albums.

with ozzy osbourne and by mike stern all of this in a single plug-in.

First impressions:

as soon as I opened the plugin I was particularly impressed by the graphic quality and the details that the overloud team offered.

I immediately noticed that in addition to have these three units there are an input saturation, an eq to sculpt the signal without having the need to use other units.

Another aspect to consider is the possibility of having the main parameters controlled by an input envelope.

Ease of use:

By ease of use I mean that the interface makes it easier to understand the rack units that the Overloud team wanted to bring to users.

The factory presets also help the user to interact more effectively with this plug-in, which offers more than 30 presets.

Features:

Dual mode: Left and right independent settings to create a wider stereo sound.

Input stage saturation control.

Stereo width control.

A - B Test.

Built-In parametric eq.

All the main parameters can be controlled by the envelopes.

Stereo width control.

LFO shapes can be mod so you can have fun experimenting changing the motion of the modulation and the resonance.

How does it sound?

As a guitarist, having an spx90 in my studio, I immediately tried to do an A/B test between the plug-in and the real deal, copying the settings of the famous preset 15 of the spx90 and believe me they sounded the same.

I immediately played a few songs from the album no more tears and was pleasantly surprised by how similar the sounds were, and by "similar" I mean:

the depth of the chorus.

the touch response.

Verdict:

Whether you're a guitarist, keyboardist, singer or producer, this plug-in gives you the chance to add a touch of the 80s and 90s to your sound or mix.

Among the many aspects I enjoyed the SYMPHONIC impressed me a lot.

The quality and fidelity with which the team has worked to give the user a product as faithful as possible to the real deal is impressive.
