Pink Floyd’s Iconic Sound in an Amp Sim!*

The finest and most unique fluid capture of the HIWATT 100 DR103 head and its matched cabinet, which belonged to David Gilmour during his Pink Floyd years.

FREE-STANDING PACK—Each TH-U Made In Rock plug-in is both a TH-U expansion pack and a standalone plugin, meaning that it can expand the model list of an existing TH-U installation, or it can also be purchased as a self-contained pack that includes all of the TH-U editing features, including the Rig Player, the Tuner, and the Looper, with no need to have a pre-existing TH-U license.

The History of a Legend

This is the head used to record the 1977 Animals album and numerous live performances.

  • Head date: 1971
  • Serial no: 16xx series
  • Purchased from: Chris Hewitt
  • Serviced by: Pete Cornish

The head is matched with the 4x12" Wem* Starfinder cabinet, equipped with Fane Crescendo* speakers.

Every Tonal and Emotional Detail Captured

The TH-U PFL 100 model is renowned for its exceptional cleans and wide dynamic range, making it the perfect effects pedal platform. This amplifier features two input channels, Normal and Brilliant, each with its own independent drive knob. The Linked input allows for mixing the two channels, offering an infinite combination of tones. When the channel volume knobs are turned past 2 o’clock, the amp starts to break up and "grind" the top end, revealing a rich and colorful crunchy tone.

The matched cabinet is the 4x12" Wem Starfinder* with Fane Crescendo* speakers, which can handle a huge dynamic range while retaining a lot of definition. It has been captured with 18 microphones with high-resolution nonlinear IRs; thanks to Overloud's Fluid Convolution, you can place up to four microphones in the 3D space around the cab and blend them with custom IRs. The ReSPiRe option adds the feeling of standing near the cabinet.

What’s Included:

  • The Made In Rock PFL 100 amplifier model
  • The matched cabinet model that recreates the 4x12* Wem Starfinder
  • A bank of presets with the sounds of the most famous songs played with that amp
  • Models created with Fluid Capturing, the new frontier of emulation in 2024
  • 15 more models, including overdrives, modulation, reverbs and the emulation of the magnetic drum delay Binson Echorec*

Overloud's New Fluid Capturing Technology

Also known as "schematic-assisted capturing," Overloud’s new Fluid Capturing is an innovative amp simulation process that combines the strengths of both modeling and capturing techniques. A sampled amp capture, which is a highly realistic yet fixed representation of the amp at a specific setting, falls short in replicating the amp tone across all knob settings. In contrast, a modeled amp reacts dynamically at all dynamic ranges and knob positions but may not precisely match the iconic color of a particular amp setting. Fluid Capturing takes a comprehensive approach by both modeling and sampling the amp with a variety of settings. This combined data builds a powerful digital model that is as flexible and fluid as a modeled amp and as realistic as a captured amp.

Made In Rock

The Made In Rock Series is a revolutionary virtual amp collection honoring rock history and fueled by Overloud's NEW cutting-edge Fluid Capturing technology. The Made In Rock series features meticulous models of the actual amps that made rock history. Five products have now been released and are models of amps played by Noel Gallagher, Ian Hill, Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi and David Gilmour on classic recordings. They were created in part using an Overloud innovation called "schematic-assisted capturing,” which seamlessly merges modeling and capturing techniques, allowing users to experience the variable nuances of each knob and circuit on these iconic amps.

These products were made possible by the Made In Rock Cultural Association in Italy, which curates an extensive collection of musical instruments, amplifiers, effects, clothing, memorabilia, and stage items once owned and used by legendary rock artists. The association aims to preserve these historical artifacts and impart their knowledge to younger generations.

By leveraging Overloud's Fluid Capturing, recognized as the most advanced capturing technology, Made In Rock achieves precise sound preservation by capturing and replicating every tonal and emotional detail of the amplifiers in their collection.
