Product Detail
Carved Vai is an amazing TH-U expansion library crafted by Choptones. It aims to replicate the sound of the 6L6 voiced version of the Carvin Legacy VL100, Steve Vai's signature amp. Since the 80s, Steve Vai has been a long - time Carvin endorser. In 1999, he introduced his remarkable signature Amp, the Carvin Legacy VL100. This 100W VL100 head offers 100 watts in a dual - channel, all - tube setup. Each channel has volume, bass, mid, treble, and presence controls, along with master reverb. It's ideal for sparkling cleans and soloing, and also delivers big, fat tones for rock and metal. The Carved Vai library comes with 46 rigs, captured using various high - quality gear. Cabinets include Carvin, Mesa Boogie, Marshall, and Engl 4x12 loaded with different Celestion speakers. Microphones like Neumann U87, Sennheiser MD421/MD21, Shure SM57, and Beyerdynamic M160 were used. Pedals such as MXR Wylde OD, Mesa Grid Slammer, and others add extra versatility. System requirements include Overloud TH - U Premium or related editions, MacOS 10.7 Lion and above, Windows Vista and above, an Intel Core i3 CPU or better, 4GB RAM or more, and a 1280x800 screen resolution or higher.
Using the Carved Vai library is quite straightforward. First, make sure your system meets the requirements we've listed. Install the Overloud TH - U software and then load the Carved Vai library. You can start by choosing one of the 46 rigs based on your musical style. If you're into rock or metal, go for rigs that offer those big, fat tones. For clean and sparkling sounds, pick the appropriate ones. When it comes to the microphones, different mics can give you different flavors. For example, the Neumann U87 can give a more smooth and natural sound. Try experimenting with different combinations of cabinets, microphones, and pedals to create your unique sound. As for maintenance, keep your software up - to - date to ensure compatibility and access to new features. Also, make sure your computer's hardware is in good condition.
