TH-U MADE IN ROCK - B-SAB

The reference amplifier comes from Bev Bevan’s* studio. It is an early 70s Supergroup MK1 100W head, Serial no. VS4901, with dual Partridge transformers. The head has been re-bagged into an 80s Laney AOR box to accommodate a cooling fan. This amp was part of Tony Iommi's recording and gigging setup during the 70s and the 80s. The head is matched with the Supergroup 4x12 cabinet, dated 1971, and equipped with Celestion* G12H speakers. *Bev Bevan is a friend of Tony Iommi and was Black Sabbath’s drummer in 1983 and early 1984.

Every Tonal and Emotional Detail Captured

The TH-U B-SAB 100 head has two input channels. The Treble channel is brighter and crunchier with a lot of presence, and the Bass channel has a massive amount of bass distortion and a fuzzier tone. The Bass and Treble channels can be connected with a jumper to have both channels mixed together. By using the two volume knobs, you can balance the top-end and the amount of bottom-end and experiment with an infinite combination of tones.

What’s Included:

• The Made-In-Rock – B-SAB amplifier model
• The matched cabinet model, based on a 4x12" Laney Supergroup*
• 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

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.
