Overloud TH-U sounds - Randall T2 Clean sim and Orange AD30 rig
A quick demo of how Overloud presets can sound on their own, as presented in the app without adjustments or outside IRs/fx. The sound quality of this app is amazing to me.
- Orange AD 30 rig preset bank -
Dynamic Strat preset ( using Les Paul with both pickups).
Octa Fuzz preset (bridge pickup).
- Randall T2 Clean -
Just the amp and Randall cabs, toggling gain setting.
Randall Chorus Clean preset from the Metal preset bank.
@McD I think the T2 clean is just a beautiful sound, it’s not extremely clean or jazzy if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s more glassy and with a little tweed steel, but really balanced and articulate and full. Just like the LynchBox amps it’s really responsive to picking and dynamics, but I prefer this sound to the LynchBox clean, you may not. As I said I love their Tweed. I think the Randall T2 Clean is also a prefect sound as a platform to use with pedals and fx.
@espiegel123 @wim playing softer keeps me out of the red, and I noticed that the Rigs and amp sims on their own give me a slightly hotter input gain than the Overloud presets that have pedals in the chain. I wonder if putting pedals in front of the amp can tame the input gain, but I somehow doubt it. That would be pretty cool.
@flo26 you are a magician with your setup, and I’m not trying to compete with you my friend, I know like 9 chords with my sausage fingers. Just joining the discussion. These sounds excite me, and you inspire me.
@McD Another quick video of the Randall T2 Clean this time through AUM with the input gain lowered to 35%. Most rock/metal amps have a clean channel that’s ugly and metallic. Randall is what a modern clean channel should sound like, articulate and throaty and balanced, not ugly. It also sounds clearer and richer through my 7506s than on video.
Anyone curious about Overloud amps or components I’ll be happy to strum my three and a half chords for you anytime.

Absolutely no problem!
Enjoy!

@JoyceRoadStudios : your input gain issue has to do with the level of the signal coming into the iPad. The input gain setting in AUM is controlling the OUTPUT level of your interface (which is the INPUT level coming into the iPad).
If the signal at the iPad’s input is in the red, the digital clipping (which is not nice clipping) has happened. Adding something like a pedal that lowers the level of the signal already in your iPad doesn’t get red of that digital distortion. In your case, you need to make sure that the level coming into your iPad (use AUM’s meter set to the input to check it) is not clipping. And yes, if you play quieter the level will be low enough not to clip. Normally, you want to make sure that your loudest playing doesn’t clip at the input.
You should set your input level so that you don’t clip. You can add a limiter or compressor as the first node in your chain to safely increase the input level and make sure that it won’t clip.
@espiegel123 Yes you’re right, I added another quick vid at the top this time using AUM with input gain at 35%. It’s only a slight difference but it does clean up just a little. I’m always afraid that lowering input gain will sacrifice some depth and richness of the sound, but I think my worry is misplaced. AUM from now on. I hadn’t fully grasped the issue of input gain because my interface was always at minimum, so it was a hot sound but not one that obviously distorted unless the output was too high. Now I realize that when I’m dialing in the Nembrini amps I always have to turn their input down a considerable amount.
DAWs and AUM can easily control input gain, which is extremely important for tracking, but I feel like Overloud could and should have this control as well. It would be cool if it came in the form of a pedal you can put in the chain before the amp, just like a volume pedal on a real pedalboard for example. I suppose it’s not hugely important if lots of interfaces have a gain knob and if it’s more customary to use these apps inside DAWs.
It would be useful for the standalone app to give you control of the interface volume settings, but it wouldn't make sense (and isn't possible) for an AUv3 to talk directly to the interface.
Your interface is "clean" there is no need to maximize the output from it -- you really want to avoid digital overs. I use a clean compressor (from Blue Mangoo) to act as a clean boost to raise the level without having to worry about digital clipping (I use it to safely bring up the input volume).
The richness of the signal from your interface isn't going to change by bringing in its signal hotter. It isn't like an analog amp. It is designed not to change coloration.
