Overloud THU Made In Rock – MotH — Free Download

Purpose

THU Made In Rock – MotH is a guitar amplifier and cabinet modeling package that recreates the specific JCM800 2203 head with serial number 326433, along with its two matching cabinets, as played by Phil Campbell during his Motörhead years. It functions both as an expansion pack for existing THU installations and as a standalone plugin, giving you full editing capabilities including the Rig Player, Amp Tweaks, Tuner, and Looper without requiring a separate THU license.

The amp model faithfully represents the original’s character: a powerful head capable of driving a full stack of two 4×12 cabinets at full volume. It provides a bright tone with substantial presence and a medium-to-high gain range. The two input channels offer distinct tonal options: the first delivers lower gain with enhanced low-end response, while the second provides higher gain, tighter bass, and a noticeable treble boost.

Key Capabilities

The cabinet modeling includes two specific cabinets: a slanted 4×12 800 Bass 1935 series and a straight 4×12 800 Lead series, both equipped with Celestion G12M 65W Creamback speakers. These have been captured using 18 microphones with high-resolution nonlinear impulse responses.

An additional feature, ReSPiRe, adds the sensation of standing near the cabinet, enhancing the realism of the playing experience. The standalone package includes all the core editing tools, ensuring you can shape tones effectively without external dependencies. For existing THU Premium customers, the Made In Rock products are available at a discount, allowing expansion of their tone library with this historically inspired model.

Workflow

To use MotH, start by loading the plugin either as a standalone application or within your THU host. If you’re using the expansion version, it will appear in your existing THU model list. Select the amp model and adjust the input channel to match your desired gain structure—choose the lower-gain channel for warmer, bass-rich tones or the higher-gain channel for tighter, brighter sounds with more treble presence.

Next, configure the cabinet section. The 3D microphone placement lets you experiment with different positions and blends, using the built-in captured impulses or importing custom ones. Activate ReSPiRe if you want an increased sense of physical proximity to the speaker.

Practical Applications

This amp modeling package is ideal for rock guitarists seeking the iconic tones of classic hard rock. Use it for recording direct-in, as the cab simulation provides a polished sound without needing a physical microphone. In live settings, whether as a standalone or within a larger THU setup, it can emulate a full stack at manageable volumes, making it suitable for stage or rehearsal spaces where cranked tube amps are impractical.

The dual-channel design supports switching from rhythm to lead sounds with ease. Pair it with an overdrive pedal model, such as a TS9-style effect, to achieve an open, articulate, and powerful rock tone as described in the source. It also works well for producing demo tracks or practicing with headphones, thanks to the standalone mode with looper and tuner built in.
