Guitar Link with TH2

Just gotten my hands on a guitar link recently. As most of my readers might recall, I was using this guitar simulator effect called the TH2. The guitar link is one of the ways to be able to connect to the computer, other than owning some sophisticated mixer or equipment. This tool is totally no frills and serves only one function. It isn't very expensive to boot! If you are on a budget and limited to not being able to have an amp in your room, this is the key answer to that!

Alright. This is another one of those Overloud TH2 patches that I am so obsesses with lately. This time, instead of getting the setup from my stomp boxes, I took out my Young Guitar Magazine and copied the setup stated in there as close as I can find them. The amp simulator I used in the program is a Bogner Ecstatic patch and is what Steve Vai was using before he switched over to Carvin. I also changed the signal chain a bit but the 2 4x12 cab stayed. Played with my Frankenstein and recorded with my super awesome phone, the Samsung Galaxy S2. I have to say, this patch sounds a lot closer to the one I made previously.

Steve Vai custom patch for Overloud TH2

I was having too much fun in playing around with the TH2 program and decided to have some fun by trying to get Steve Vai's "For the Love of God" sound with the patches. The effects and amplifiers choose are based on my pedalboard. Settings are set to what I think Steve Vai settings are in his amp. The clip is recorded with my Frankenstein and again with my super awesome handphone, the Samsung Galaxy S2. Check out the 2 amp heads with 2 4x12 cabinets! Things that I can't afford but the program makes it possible!

TH2 Overloud simulator program

Just gotten my copy of the TH2 Overloud custom and I must say, this program really rocks. The amp and effects simulator are all top notch and I am actually running this through my netbook. I did a quick recording with my Frankenstein with the guitar hero patch. Once again, recorded with my awesome Samsung Galaxy S2. Also, the output speakers are just ordinary Altec Lansing desktop speakers with subwoofer. It sounds pretty good for a pair of laptop speaker!
