Just like in the previous tutorial on MainStage 3, I’ll show you how to use the minimum amount of equipment (only one footswitch and one pedal) to set andcontrol any number of effects in Overloud TH‑U (stand‑alone version).
First, however, I’ll go over a very simple standard approach to show its limitations.
Approach 1
Suppose you only have the overdrive and wah‑wah effects on your pedalboard.
You want to turn each one on and off using the footswitch and control the wah‑wah effect with the pedal.
You want to turn each one on and off using the footswitch and control the wah‑wah effect with the pedal.
As for hardware, you need one regular expression pedal, one double footswitch, and one USB MIDI adapter or the autonomous MIDI pedals EX3 and FS3.
Once you have your MIDI foot controllers ready, open “Audio Settings”, and make sure it is active:
In TH‑U, just as in its predecessor TH‑3, there are two possibilities to assign MIDI messages to effects – only for a given Preset and globally (for all Presets). The procedure of assigning is the same – right click on the effect and select the appropriate option:
You can also assign one message to control a given type of effect (and not its specific model), i.e. CC #1 will control each wah‑wah pedal, whether it’s Rox (Vox)or Cry Maybe (Cry Baby), or any new model.
To do this, open the MIDI menu and click “Learn” in the corresponding section, in this case “Wah”:
To do this, open the MIDI menu and click “Learn” in the corresponding section, in this case “Wah”:
Proceed in the same way by assigning and mapping both footswitch buttons to toggle the wah‑wah and overdrive effects on and off.
TH-U is able to load rig models created from real setups. The Overloud proprietary technology allows our engineers to capture the response of an entire rig, including the nonlinear and dynamic response of the amplifier, the cabinet, the microphones, the mic preamplifier, and the room sound.

Approach 2
Add the whammy pedal to the Approach 1 configuration. We also want to turn it on and off and control it using the pedal. In the standard approach described above, we would have to buy a second expression pedal, a second footswitch, and an additional MIDI adapter. Snap converter v2 2.
To avoid this and use only the equipment we have, we can apply one simple trick - switch between entire Programs.
A Program, i.e. Vuescan 9 5 25 – scanner software with advanced features. a Preset, is a whole group of effects and their settings.
A Program, i.e. Vuescan 9 5 25 – scanner software with advanced features. a Preset, is a whole group of effects and their settings.
After adding the whammy effect to the Preset, copy and paste it into the empty slot.
Proceed in the same way as in Approach 1, assigning the expression pedal to different effects in each Preset - wah‑wah or whammy, while setting one of them on and the other off:
Preset | wah‑wah | whammy |
---|---|---|
1 | on | off |
2 | off | on |
In addition, you can copy these Preset again, and in each Preset set whether overdrive is enabled or not:
Preset | wah‑wah | whammy | overdrive |
---|---|---|---|
1 | on | off | on |
2 | off | on | on |
3 | on | off | off |
4 | off | on | off |
And now the most important part – how to switch between Presets.
There are 2 ways in TH‑U. The simplest way: in the MIDI settings, check “Program Changes recall presets in current bank”:
(I described the “Program Change” message in more detail here)
In the application for configuring the MIDI controller, set the Toggle mode to “Up/Down Program #”.
The second way is a bit less intuitive, because the MIDI specification uses messages such as Program Change to switch presets, but some controllers do not have this functionality. In such case, you can use CC event by assigning the corresponding controller numbers to call the functions “Next preset” and “Previous preset”:
This way, having only two buttons physically available, we can switch between the entire presets, not just turn individual effects on and off.
In the next blog posts, I will describe how to configure other Amp Sims.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.

Rig To Model
TH-U is able to load rig profiles created by sampling real setups.
The Rig To Model (R2M) proprietary technology allows Overloud engineers to sample and capture the response of an entire rig, including the nonlinear and dynamic response of the amplifier, the cabinet, the microphones, the mic preamplifier and the room sound. Rig To Model technology lets you capture both analog and digital setups. The Rig Player, integrated into TH-U, allows you to reproduce any nuance of the sampled rigs.
Amp Tweak
Thanks to its innovative DSP technology, TH-U features a new panel that lets you change the pre and power tubes models, as well as simulate the action of a variac. This lets you mod any amplifier model with an almost limitless combination of tubes and opens the product to new sound capabilities.

Intelligent Midi Setup
Setting up a MIDI floorboard is as easy as clicking an element into TH-U interface and pressing the corresponding pedal in the MIDI floorboard. TH-U learns the MIDI connection and uses it into any preset automatically. Gigs have never been so fun with TH-U!
Bass Models Included
TH-U includes 3 bass amplifiers, 2 bass cabinets, 1 bass graphic equalizer, a bass tuner as well as a preset bank entirely dedicated to bass tones.
3D Cabinet Simulation
TH-U offers a matrix of 4 microphones which can be placed anywhere in the 3D space in front and even behind the cabinet. Just drag a microphone and place it where you want. Change the relative distance between microphones to obtain creative phasing effects, just like you do in a real cabinet room.
6 different room types can be selected.
The ReSPiRe 2 technology allows you to choose between the real response of the cabinet and a processed version optimized to fit into a mix and avoid frequencies overlapping with the other instruments. On bass cabinets you have a separate control over the woofer and the tweeter levels.
Creative Effects
TH-U is not just an amplifier replacement. It is a creative tool that allows you to craft your personal tone and explore the boundaries of your instrument. Transform your electric guitar into an acoustic guitar. Create synth-like tones with the ring modulator. Turn the guitar into an organ with the organ-tone-maker. Import any Impulse Responses from third party libraries to extend the TH-U tones without limits.
Expand TH-U with Rig Libraries
TH-U's Rig Libraries are a perfect way to add more tones and styles to TH-U:
