Interface: Reimagined
No fake knobs. No vintage trim. thall amp is built to support how modern guitarists actually work - fast, focused, and in the mix.
The layout reflects a real-world signal path, from input to FX. Each section can be toggled on/off independently, with clear visuals and meters to keep you dialled in. You’ll spend less time hunting for controls - and more time recording ideas that slap.
Thall presets from Buster Odeholm, Calle Thomer, and Mirar let you start with proven tones and tweak from there.
Match
Auto-Gain & DI Match
Load the plugin, strum the open strings, play some chugs, and you’re already there.
DI Match
Your guitar might not be Buster’s Hapas Ashen Signature. But now it can sound like it. The built-in EQ shapes your DI to match the response of Buster’s tone.
Amount lets you control how aggressively the EQ curve is applied.
Smooth blends in gentle tapering for a more natural-sounding match.
Auto Input Adjustment
No more tweaking knobs or second-guessing your gain. thall amp sets your input level automatically - just strum and go.
Shape
Gate, Chug & Low-End Sculpting
Whether you're on a 7-string or tuning to drop Z, this section is where articulation meets aggression.
Chug
A smarter way to tighten your tone.
Like a tube screamer without the side effects, Chug enhances pick attack and palm mutes in real time - adding bite and clarity without gutting your low end.
It reacts intelligently to your playing, keeping your riffs punchy, articulate, and full.
Fast, clean, and reactive.
Built specifically for modern metal, this gate keeps your tight parts razor-sharp without killing your dynamics. No external plugin needed - just turn it up and go.
Designed by Buster for the ultimate heavy tone.
This fuzz-inspired layer adds growl without crowding the mix. Perfect for adding weight to riffs that need to be felt.
Dial in the frequencies Chug responds to.
Target the low mids for punch, or shift it higher to catch pick attack and scrape detail - tight where it matters, expressive where it counts.
Pitch
Whammy, Thicken & Parallel Amp
Unparalleled control over low-tuned guitars. No phase issues. No guesswork.
All of it happens in real time so your leads stay tight, even when they're meant to sound broken.
Whammy
Polyphonic pitch shifting with two distinct personalities.
Turn it down to drop your pitch with precision. Perfect for writing in extreme tunings without retuning or introducing weird artifacts.
Turn it up for that Whammy 4‑style scream: glitchy, abrasive, and proudly unstable - a favourite in the Thall world for a reason.
Adds a sub-octave layer with a built-in low-pass filter. Dial in as much depth as you want - without bringing in the mud.
Sends the Thicken signal through a second internal thall amp path. This keeps the low end focused and articulate, with optional latency compensation to keep everything tight.
One click disables both Low Dirt and Thicken - ideal for high-register parts, whammy screams, or whenever you want to clean up the low-end fast.
Amplifier
Amp Section & Lo‑Fi
Five parameters. Two goals: heaviness and control.
Perfect for both production and live use, where speed and repeatability matter.
Amp Section
Drive, Low, Mid, High, and Presence - voiced exactly to Buster’s taste and tuned for rhythm-focused distortion.
Whether you’re tracking demos or playing live, this amp is made to do one thing extremely well: make riffs hit hard.
A bandpassed "radio/telephone" filter - no extra plugins or routing required.
Toggle it on for breakdown intros, transitions, or ambient interludes - then click it off and you’re back in full-range.
thall amp includes a single impulse response - crafted to match the exact cab tone from Ashen by Humanity’s Last Breath.
No browsing. No second-guessing. Just the right sound, right away.

Orbit Culture
"After years of watching Buster craft massive tones with his unique setup, I honestly thought there’d be at least one or two elements that couldn’t be captured in a single plugin. But I was completely wrong.
From the DI tone match to the gritty low end, the Whammy effects - both clean and dirty - it’s all here. And it sounds absolutely incredible."
Producer & Mix Engineer
(Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Don Broco)
"Sounds monsterous."
Producer & Content Creator
"I was expecting a bit of a “one trick pony”, but this really does everything. Lots of clever features I didn’t expect to want or need, and everything is finally in one place. If you’re looking for stupidly heavy guitar tones, you found ‘em.
I didn’t put EQ anywhere near this plugin. I didn’t even consider using EQ. This is one of a very few guitar plugins that I’d be not just comfortable, but perfectly happy using entirely on its own."
Producer & Guitarist
(Allt)
"It is the best sounding guitar plugin I've ever used for heavy, distorted tones bar none. Not even close. Many are tweakable to this level with many hours, but no plugin sounds like this stock."
Producer & Mix Engineer
(Alphawolf, Void Of Vision)
"The internal cab impulse destroys everything else I have."
Producer & Guitarist
(Signs Of The Swarm)
"Hands down the best amp sim I’ve ever used! Everything is so well put together and the dynamics within the interface of the plugin are very user friendly. Making tones are super easy and sounds MASSIVE, I will be using Thall amp as my go to guitar plugin all the time. Paired with Busters drum plugin it is a combo that is INSANE!"
And Much more...
You’ll always know what’s hitting the amp and what’s coming out. No more chasing mystery clipping.
Every module can be toggled on or off individually. Ideal for quick comparisons, CPU saving, or streamlining a live set.
Strobe-style accuracy, built for ultra-low tunings and extended-range guitars. Toggle it on when needed, and let the auto-mute handle the silence - no more awkward tuning solos. (Auto-mute can be disabled if you're into chaos.)
