Geared toward producers who need rock-oriented guitar amplifiers in a software form factor, the Overloud TH-U Rock Edition Guitar Rig Emulation Bundlefrom Overloud TH-U Rock Edition Guitar Rig Emulation Bundleis both a standalone and plug-in application available for download. The TH-U rock collection offers realistic emulations of 16 amplifiers, 15 cabinets, 16 pedals and rack effects, and 18 microphone models for capturing the tone from these virtual cabinets. 

Users may already be familiar with Overloud amplifier emulators, and rock lovers may be particularly aware of the previous edition of this software. The TH-U Rock Collection improves earlier versions by providing new features such as Rig Player, Amp Tweak, a new multitrack looper, and more. 

Rig Player loads a variety of real-life guitar rigs (amps and cabs of real players) sampled in-house with Overloud's R2M technology. You can switch quickly among rig models, and even match different cabs to different amplifier emulations.

With Amp Tweak, you can customize the tone of your chosen amp model to your exact predilections by swapping out tubes in the preamp stage or power stage. You'll also notice a virtual variable voltage regulator or Variac knob. This lets you control the tube power-supply voltage, giving you varying degrees of saturation. 

Eighty presets are incorporated into the plug-in to recreate the tone of classic rock, alternative rock, or anything in between. Additionally, this software offers a matrix of four microphones, which can be placed anywhere in the 3D space in front or behind the cabinet. Drag a microphone and place it anywhere required. Change the relative distance between microphones to obtain creative phasing effects.

This software is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms. It can operate in VST, AAX, and AU platforms, and is also a standalone application.

A: The SHAPE Sony FS7 Bundle Rig with Follow Focus is specifically for the FS7. If you mounted a C100 Mark II on it, it would be missing a right handle arm.

Q: 7. Can this strap bear the weight of canon 7dii with telephoto lens attached, about 6 lbs?

A: Thanks so much for contacting us. We understand your concern and can assure you that all of our straps are designed to safely carry all professional-level cameras and equipment and will easily hold 20kg (44 lbs) of static weight load. We recommend attaching the strap directly to the larger lens, as this will help distribute the weight more evenly. For an added layer of security and to help with peace of mind, we do recommend the use of the Camera Safety Tether that comes in the box with new a strap and is also available on our website as well as our Amazon store. Please be sure to take a moment to view the "How To" video on our website that demonstrates the proper attachment of the camera to the FR-5 using the carabiner for an extra snug fit.

Q: 9. Can this be comfortably worn with a backpack?

A: I do it all the time and never think twice about it! The only complaint I have is that I have a pretty small frame and because Ive adjusted the strap the way I have, the strap tends to stick out a bit in the back/come off the hook (where its been adjusted/has a clip to hold it, but the adjustable clip on the back doesnt always hold the strap as securely when putting backpacks on and off. I just have to check to make sure it isnt sticking out funny regularly.) No photographers I know with this strap have had this complaint, but theyre mostly bulky dudes who dont have to adjustment the strap as much as I do as a slim woman.

Q: 10. Which BlackRapid product works best with a Canon SX70 HS bridge camera and binoculars for birding? What if I also carry a backpack. Like my binoculars harness because I have neck pain. Bin sit in middle of chest with straps going over shoulders, criss-crossing behind back, and returning under arms: https://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Optics-Binocular-Harness-Strap/dp/B000BH24JM Will the BlackRapid Curve Breathe work with my binoculars harness system??? Will they get in each other's way? What if I add a backpack? Right now camera on single strap and binoculars are constantly bumping each other. Can't even lift up one to look at birds without tugging and tangling. BlackRapid Binocular strap doesn't look right because it dangles from neck. Like idea of attaching bins to a backpack, but that's the exception, not the norm. Suggestions for perfect combo where camera is easy to detach if I want to hand to my boyfriend or attach a tripod?

A: Consider this Harness , BlackRapid Double Breathe Camera Harness BH #BL361003
