Pretty Lame – Overloud THU Review

OK…. here’s a few things that make this a rather weak Guitar Fx processor. 1) It’s not overly intuitive to build out your signal chain (or pedalboard). There’s already a few of these on the market (Amplitube, Bias and others); sooOOooo there’s no reason NOT to learn from these on how to make it easy [keyword EZ] to build out your signal path. You’ve got down to the corner of the screen and hit a plus button and stuff…..it’s rather confusing. You also DO NOT see the path routing; aka the patch cables between fx or amps in the signal path, which makes it more confusing. 2) Quality - I was looking for a harmonizer. They have one; but it doesn’t have the EXPECTED features. Again, harmonizers have been out for DECADES….just look at the best ones and provide the same functionality. Their software DOES NOT have a pitch adjustment like +/- cents to give that “thicker” sound. I don’t think their product has a delay for the harmonizer. These are common on all of the better software/rack units. Ideally you should be about to route the harmonized notes to a separate output than the original if you want to put different fx on those notes. 3) Instead of having actual knobs and sliders that work ::: to adjust the fx pedal a side screen comes up with a set of adjustment controls. REALLY? That’s like 1990s software design. Other vendors in the market have knobs that REALLY turn to adjust things, but not THU. Overall….the product seems CHEAP. I wish I HAD NOT wasted my money on it. Churned in CBus
