Cheap Reactive Load Box

This has two consequences.

Cheap reactive load box.

New suhr reactive load box. A purely or mainly resistive load like basically all load boxes is harder on the power tubes because it s always 8 ohms for example at all stages of the output cycle. Speakers are a reactive load they push back against the ot develop a back voltage and their impedance changes dramatically with frequency. Think of a load box as the most basic form of attenuator one that lowers your amp s output to line level.

The suhr reactive load delivers a simple solution to capture all of the warmth and dynamics of your sound without the hassle of miking a speaker cabinet during a live or recorded performance. Examples of load boxes include the suhr reactive load koch dummybox studio pa and the two notes torpedo live. What we love about this attenuator is the fact that you can use it as an attenuator connecting it to your power source and amp or alternatively you can use it as a load box instead of using your typical speaker cabinet allowing you to send a balanced xlr or an unbalanced 1 4 line to another app you may be using. The reactive load takes the place of your speaker cabinet in your signal chain.

You can use the reactive load with your speaker sim or impulse response of choice and benefit from the natural response dynamics and touch sensitivity of your amp.
