The Ultimate Loadbox Comparison - Part 2

Part 2 contains an update to the rating of Part 1 and I'll check the tonal neutrality of each single load box with a cabinet connected - a final rating is included too.

In this video series I'll compare all relevant reactive load boxes on the market. The OX Box from Universal Audio, the Powerstation 2 from Fryette, the Tube Amp Expander from BOSS, the Reactive Load IR from Suhr, the Captor X and Torpedo Live from TwoNotes, the Ironman II from Tone King and the AmpCentral from RedSeven.

You deserve way more subs and views - love this series. Nobody has done this. You and The Other John Browne are doing excellent content

I’m in the market for one of these soon, so this video series is a treasure trove of information. Thanks!

never have i been so mesmerized by curves

Danke für das neue Video, gib nicht auf, Wolfgang, du hast in allen Belangen einen tollen Stil!

Hello 👋 Do these load reverb IR & if so which would you say has the highest quality for reverb IR’s ?

Thank you this was a great explanation in this video by the way 🎉

Very interesting analysis.
One question about the Fryette PS2a as I’m a bit unsure of the way you used it.
When you did the comparison in Bypass mode was the unit connected to a speaker cab?

[tcerecords]

I am trying to record the amp’s tone while not inducing any harshness that I find most loadboxes add. I then use an impulse response after inside my DAW. I have tried several load boxes and it just doesn’t sound right in the top end.

I’ve experimented with a RADIAL DI box and running the THRU signal to a real cabinet as the load, and recording the signal coming only from the amp (XLR out on the DI box) and this sounds best to me so far. Thoughts?

When the Fryette is in standby mode, can you still attenuate the sound for indoor playing? The standby curve looks good in your test, but what functionality are we giving up if we choose the bypass mode? Thanks!!

Man if this only had Driftwood loadbox

[TheDwarfInvasion]

at 4:19 - the output prior to the loadbox has a resonant bump near 80hz. the box itself has an eq curve with a strong dip at 80hz. the resultant output after the load box looks flat. Is the box correcting for the frequency response impact of its own impedance curve?

[mikeault]

Which is less artificial sounding, the Suhr ir box or the Two Notes Cap X?

[yuliang]

Hello may i ask which part BOSS TAE is not supporeted in your rate? How do you think of Two notes Reload(same as Live)? Thank you

[UndertheMangoTree]

Hi! I have a question: So if I use the Fryette in bypass mode without a cab hooked up, it still won't work or worse break my amp since it doesn't see any load, correct?

[jamesfindice]

Würde mich über ein attenuator shootout freuen - in ähnlichem stil natürlich ;)

[mrtruefifth]

I'm not sure I understand the logic behind these graphs - why would you be interested in flat lines when what you want is the sound like what comes from a speaker cab - that will be anything else than a flat line?
