EMG is a company that produces “active” pickups, which are powered by a battery, instead of passive pickups like those on a typical Stratocaster or Les Paul.
Partscasters are guitars that are built by combining various parts (body, bolt-on neck, tuners, bridge, pickups and volume/tone pots) from a number of different companies. Eddie Van Halen’s “Frankenstrat” would be a perfect example.
Typically it’s cheaper to build a guitar yourself from parts than buying a finished guitar from a manufacturer, so partscasters are always “on sale.”
Happy New Year!
Exactly. And one can get exact guitar he wants. Some assembly required. 😎
Flo’s guitar tones with the EMG pickups got me interested. Thanks to this thread I’ve bought many rigs for THU.
Yeah much as I love the sound of TH-U, I don’t love the UI. Especially if you use the rigs there is just endless scrolling through long unfriendly menus cluttered with stuff you don’t own. I’ve bought four rigs, and locating them in the preset menu is a real pain.
I do think TH-U sounds better than the Nembrini sims, but the Nembrini stuff is much nicer to actually use.
Ah, of course. Thank you for the succinct description.
Yeah, this is where Bias effects wins bigtime! The UI is really user friendly.
But the sound of THU makes me forget the UI shortcomings.
TH-U sounds good enough for me to overcome the u.i. Nembrini is, in my opinion, on a par with TH-U...if you use good cabinet IRs ...which you will have to load into an IR loader since the Nembrini sims don't let o e load one's own.
Yeah, I bought Takfnar app long time ago but never used it cause the IR thing kinda confused me. But where could I get some free good ones? I’m not too picky as long as they get me in the ball park that’s good enough for me.
Also,
Wanted to ask everyone if they could teach me or guide me how i would set this up in AUM. I wanna configure AUM the way I have my hardware pedal board.
So my effects order is like this:
Overdrive 1>Overdrive 2> Joyo American Pedal>Volume Pedal> Delay> Reverb> EQ
I want to recreate this in AUM especially with the volume pedal before the delays/Reverb so I can do Swells and have them continue even when I reduce the volume to zero.
I appreciate if anyone can give me ideas how to set it up in AUM or Auria. ❤️🙏👍🏼☝️🎸
I would say invest $20 in some decent IRs . If you aren’t picky the ones in TH-U rigs and Nembrini will be better than free ones.
Try the built-in ones first. Depending on the amp, your ear and your preferences, you might not need to bother with external IRs at all.
@Tones4Christ - setup is simple enough to figure out. An AUM or Auria signal chain is the same as a pedalboard signal chain unless you choose to complicate it with busses, etc.
The only concept you need to get under your belt is Pre-Fader vs. Post-Fader FX. Anything you want before the "volume pedal" goes Pre-Fader. Anything after goes post-fader. I could describe how to make things pre and post fader in AUM, but the in-app help does a much better job.
If you decide to use Thafknar, put it pre-fader, immediately after the amp sim. 100% wet signal.
Part of the learning curve with th-u is that they’re an Italian company and things aren’t well explained, and some terms are interchangeable and confusing. No tutorials for iOS either, they have good tutorial demos for the desktop UI.
This is always my recommendation for making th-u less annoying…
It’s true that the Rig Player can be a maze, but what some don’t know is that each Rig comes with its own Preset bank that you can find top center. This is completely different from just having the Rig player open and scrolling through dry profiles. One confusing thing is that the preset bank is in oldest to newest order, but the Rig Player list is alphabetical. So the preset banks have all the free th-u stuff, and then the banks that are for each rig have inside profiles combined with pedal sims from the free version. So every Rig preset bank is fully accessible if you purchased that rig, and the pedals added around the rig are all available because they’re free to begin with.
So let’s take the Dang Custom Rig. You’ll find it as the 72nd preset bank in the top center menu…
You click on the pencil thingie lower right which allows you to move your selected rig to the top of the list…
Now here’s my rec… take the first “empty” slot inside each bank, and simply put the Rig player in there, choose the rig that the menu belongs to, and save it. So after you do that with the rigs you own, from there you have them all at the top of the menu, and after the presets that came with it by default, you just expand that bank with your own saves.
That’s my organizational tool. My favorite part of the rigs is chaining them with all the pedals, either from the free or paid bundles. The preset banks for the rigs is how I got so into this in the first place…
@JoyceRoadStudios - as always, your explanations are noble and super generous with your time.
But ... bleh ... Sorry, I just can't stomach something that takes a multiple essays just to describe how to figure out what the hell I might be buying, what I might want to buy, and then how to get what I bought up and running conveniently. Oh and that takes up 1.5 gig on my device just to get started. And looks ugly to boot. yuck.
And no, I don't attribute it to the language difference. It's overly complicated independently of language constraints.
Why am I taking the time out to say all this? Is it just to be a whiner? I'm sure it sounds like that, but why I'm venting right now is meant as "constructive(?)" feedback to Overloud, if they ever happen to read this. I've tried five times now to give TH-U a chance. I just can't get myself to keep the thing on my iPad (forget the phone - it won't fit). I just can't do it.
But kudos to you for your infinite patience and generosity helping out.
I totally get it, huge disk space, not intuitive, menus instead of knob turning… it’s funny though, I actually can’t stand the layout of something like Bias. For some reason th-u layout just makes sense to me. Anyway I get it, getting a sound that’s 2 percent better is not worth it if the enjoyment of using the app is 75 percent worse. And yes Overloud should really pay attention, the desktop version looks like 90s minesweeper or something. I sent them two feature requests today alone.
Wow, that’s a really cool tip set, @JoyceRoadStudios. I’m really not a fan of the Th-u interface either, but this will definitely help reduce the friction points that tend to really annoy me.
The even better thing is I checked the rigs I’ve purchased and realized I had forgotten all about my Tone Impera. I love that baby, and now I’ll never “lose it” in the mess that is the Th-u universe.
Now I’m wondering if there is a way to create a ”favorites” collection of presets that would allow one to move between presents from entirely different rigs. I’d love to just move from a favorite Tone Impera rhythm preset to a Fried Betty lead tone and then got to a gritty Mark V rhythm preset.
As always thanks for the tips and infinite wisdom!
You can save presets for anything into any bank. I have a bank where I keep the presets I use frequently. Basically, when you are using a preset you like, do the equivalent of 'save as' and save it into your "favorites" bank.
Really? Now that’s very cool. Now I just need to break-out my Blueboard and relearn how to use it! Thanks!
Wow you guys are super awesome! Thanks for all the suggestions!
@wim will follow those steps for AUM etc! Thanks!
@JoyceRoadStudios really appreciate the step by step with pics! I still have to probably read it a couple of times as I’m still learning the UI.
How do you do Save As? I only see the save button.
Fabulous tip, thanks!
Tap and hold the Save button for Save As.
@orand thanks!
Guys do you know when THU usually goes on sale? I haven’t heard back from their customer service dept and wonder if i might have to wait for another sale. 🎸😔
The sale just ended I think.
I’ve just seen that some people have created presets for the desktop version of overload thu.
Does anyone know if these files can be loaded in the iOS version or if anyone has released presets for iOS?
hello Forum, this is a great topic. As a result I have bought the Fender Super Reverb and Bassman rigs last night.
I think I could use one more. I think I have the Fender department covered with these two. The Trem63 and Twin rigs are tempting but can wait. I read in this topic about Brit 2000 and Tone Impera, and Friedman BE50 as favorites. I am not into high gain, so Brit 2000 is not for me. And I guess with the Bassman I have the JTM45 also covered.
What is in your opinion a nice rig for a more modern crunch/medium gain guitar sound, differently than the Fender sound signature? From the demo´s on the THU/Choptones website it is bit hard to judge for me. I play a stock 2015 USA Fender Stratocaster and a humbucker guitar with Seth Lover PAF´s.
The presets on the Overloud website can be imported quite easily into iOS. If the presets created by others use the same file format (.ovb), then they could be quite easily imported as well. Just download the preset files and open them through TH-U. Ofcourse, you need to have purchased the Amp/Cabs + FX/Dist pedals used to make the presets.
I havent bought any of the amp/cab models, but have the FX and OD/Dist packs. I sometimes use the presets on overloud’s website, but just replace the amp/cab in the preset with one of the rigs/IRs that I have. Not the same, but quite helpful to get some decent sounds started.
Thanks @sjm_90
Not only presets from desktop… on the Overloud website there’s a whole section dedicated to artist pack presets and genre presets, you can download all of these preset packs for free.
On the website they’re located in “Download - Additional Presets”.
And it couldn’t be any easier to upload/import them into iOS th-u. You’ll find the “import preset/bank” button in the global menu on the right, and any .obv extension pack that you downloaded can be instantly imported.
