Overloud Th3 345

Digital modeling often fails the "volume knob test." With many plugins, rolling your guitar volume down from 10 to 5 just makes the sound quieter and duller.

The Overloud TH3 345 reacts like a real tube rectifier.

Using a test signal (E5 note, 165Hz), Preset 3.45 exhibits: overloud th3 345

Frequency Response Plot (Approximate):

To convert Preset 345 from a "solo-only" patch to a mix-ready rhythm tone, apply these modifications: Advanced mod: Replace the "Bulldog" amp with "JCM800

Advanced mod: Replace the "Bulldog" amp with "JCM800 Clone" and keep the "Hot Lead 3" for a tighter thrash tone – rename as Preset 345b.

The default 4x10 cab has a low resonance at 100Hz. If you are playing drop D or 7-string (unusual for this amp, but fun), move the Low resonance frequency to 80Hz and increase the Q factor to 5. This makes the 345 thump like a closed-back 4x12 while retaining the open top end.
