Overloud has released THU Premium 2.2 with native Neural Amp Modeler integration, bringing open-source NAM captures into the company’s modular guitar environment. The update adds a NAM Player for loading standard models and a NAM Tweak module for adjusting them inside THU, so users can combine community or self-made captures with the software’s cabinets, effects, routing and preset system instead of moving between separate hosts.
The release also expands the surrounding toolset rather than treating NAM as an isolated loader. Overloud highlights AIR ambience processing, Fluid Processing for continuously variable tone changes, external impulse-response support and a collection of 20 included profiles. Existing THU Premium owners receive version 2.2 as a free update, while new licenses are sold through Overloud’s site.
Synth and Software’s report places the change in the wider convergence between capture formats and established amp-sim suites. NAM has become attractive because its models can be shared and trained outside a proprietary hardware ecosystem; THU supplies the polished signal chain and performance workflow around those files. For guitarists already invested in THU, the practical gain is access to a much larger capture pool without abandoning familiar presets or live routing.

Why it matters
Native NAM support connects an open capture ecosystem to a mature guitar rig host, lowering the friction between downloadable models and stage- or session-ready signal chains.
