TH2? OMG!

I Dl'ed and tried the demo and its gonna cost me now.


I know there are many here who don't play electric guitar, so nothing to see here.
But for those that do play guitar, this is IMO (<<<) the best sounding software amp/fx for guitar (I have heard so far) out there today. 
Organic like syrupy tones are produced that rival my Tonelab desktop,  and distortions that equal my Nova System boxes.


Put a smile on my ugly mug- You could say the demo impressed me. 

Every where I look on the net people are FREAKING about how good it is but I've checked out some vids of it in use and it just... doesn't sound that great to me. But it is obviously very difficult to tell without actually using stuff like this. I am looking forward to playing with it. I was hoping they would let us download the lite version early but I guess it's too ingrained in the X2 install or something. IDK... I'm pretty happy with GR5 but considering my main instrument is guitar I like have as many tools around as possible. If I get some time maybe I'll try out the demo.

Yea the save is disabled,  and I used it stand alone only. It also has a quiet but harsh sounding tone and a silence for a 1/2 sec every little bit. So no dice in using it for recording in demo mode. But I zoned that out whiles messing around. I loved the fact that I could go from nothing to a nice sound in just a few clicks. Not just nice, but tone wise like it was from a guitar amp.  

BTW- I just ordered the full version, so I will be practicing on what I preach 

Beepster: This is not an endorsement of the product (I have not used it myself) but I bet you buy the full version before the end of year

@scook... lol. IDK, man. I'm pretty tapped out. Once I move the spending spree will be stopped dead. That's why I'm trying to get most of this done now. If it's going to "change everything" then $100 isn't bad but if it's only slightly better than GR or I can get the tones I need out of it as is I'll probably let it sit. But maybe they'll have some crazy deal down the line that'll put it in No Brainer territory. It's hard to tell from all the descriptions (most seem to refer to the full version) but it SEEMS like the Sonar version has quite a bit included anyway. I'll just have to wait and see.

Just so everyone knows, as a SONAR X2 customer, you are entitled to a special upgrade price on Overloud TH2 full version.

You can either order it with your SONAR X2 upgrade or buy it after your SONAR X2 purchase. It's $100 off the regular price for SONAR X2 Producer customers.

The demo "link" is at overloud.com I've just played with the download for 5 minutes, IMHO not a lot extra there for "real" guitar players over Guitar Rig 5, but for a hack like myself it's an improvement, great layout, and I love the presets, much easier for me to find what I want. Glad I bought it

Thanks, I didn't get the dl link yet. Hows it compare to S-Gear, anyone? 

I was looking at the GR upgrade, but at the time I thought I qualified for the Kotakt upgrade and went for that instead (actually placed the order).   Unfortunately I didn't find out that I didn't qualify after all until it was too late.  
 
I currently have GR4LE and GR5 Free, so I'm thinking that TH2 may be a nice compliment.  Either way, it's X2 first - the version that comes with SONAR should give me a good idea where I'm heading from there...
 

Timing can be everything, and extremely difficult to predict.   What can you do...    Hey, at least you've got the toys!  

Pretty impressed with TH2 over here. Purchased it with the X2 upgrade presale. Great sounds unnoticable latency as standalone or plugin (I'm using M-Audio Fasttrack C400 interface at the moment ) and compared to GR5 a lot more user friendly. As you can see in my specs, I switch between interfaces.... just for the benefit of no latency when recording guitars.  I will not abandon GR or POD, there both got theire strong areas, but TH2 could become my go-to amp-sim.
One funny little bug I found: In plugin mode I was looking for a bass amp model in the TH2 searchfield, typing in "Bass''. Typing in B opened  the X1 browser, typing in a opened the Audiosnap Pallet and that's how far it let me type "Bass". ...Funny isn't it ? It looks like the searchfunction is not working in pluginmode.

I have to agree...having used GTR, Amplitube (on ipad etc) and Guitar Rig, I am in fact more impressed with this product than any modeler I have ever encountered...demo'd and it was enough to sell me on the full package...

I think the GUI is pedestrian.. homogeneous...ridiculous...but I'm not much of a distraction freak...its the sounds I'm after... with smart tools I will not be needing much else...(except a newer battery for my laptop)...

Finally impressed...but maybe thats because I don't really like the messy metal sounds which are all the same to me...this is much more flexible and on a clean guitar it actually sounds rather right.

I have podfarm now and am looking at adding revalver to get better amp tones. Does anyone have revalver as well to compare?

oh and thanks for reminding me about the little keyboard icon, ptheisen. I had learned that at some point but had forgotten.

I bought the $99 version with X2 pre sale.
 
It sounds great. Does anyone know if the volume/wah pedals are externally controllable real time?
 
The only thing I don't like so far is the HUGE GUI. It's rather long and drawn out so you have to scroll thru it to access the FXs. The upper screen helps zoom in but it's rather small. I'd prefer a somewhere-in-the-middle compromise.
 
I'm also trying out the SpringAge verb demo.
