Overloud Has Just released a new pack. This is the Kemperish feature of overloud doing some Fender Amps. Whaddya think? As good as the real thing? not as good? Better?

Most THU presets I hear sound more like taken from a mix rather than a solo sound. Its similar with boss processors, they sound dark when solo but fits very easy inside a mix.

The eq'ing though is really easy specially with that rig manager tool (eq is scientifically adjusted to ear so the very few knobs work fine).

On the other hand, though they're pretty much there for modern amps the more traditional stuff are still a problem. They explain in the Helix video's how older amp designs don't follow rules and the reaction (specially poweramp) doesn't make much sense for a scientists perception biggrin.gif

Ah, excellent point but that’s all in the ears of the recordist/producer/engineer.

I prefer the brighter or jangly Fender (and vox) tones precisely because I find that they work better in a track.
It’s really easy, at least in my experience, to cut a bit of high-end presence if needed for a part to sit in a mix. Adding it after the fact always sounds neutered and artificial to me.

Well said! That perfectly describes it. "Neutered"!!!! smile.gif It's gotta be part of the signal or otherwise EQ can do more harm than good after the fact by magnifying underlying tonal issues.
