Looking to upgrade from my captor x but not sure if this is the way to go. I owned the first power load without the IR feature and I hated it. It was mud city with hardly any low end response or feel to it no matter how much I tinkered with the switches and controls. I’m hoping maybe it’s improved this new version?
 
@PurityS.L.G FWIW:

I haven't tried the Fryette, but a well-known Bay Area pedal board builder/YouTuber told me it was his #1 IR Loader.

He felt the reactive load was better at mimicking the real-world interaction of the amp being on full blast without damaging them.

His other suggestion was to go with the Suhr. I also asked about the UA Ox Box, which he wasn't over-the-moon on.

He felt the Ox uses a resistive load and could put strain on a vintage amp, which seems to go against what Ox claims.

Personally, I use an Ox Box and like it. They do have some limitations, but I find the ease of use, sound quality and features outweigh them.

Last but not least, I'd steer clear of the Mesa Cab Clone I.R.+. I have one and it is ok, but I prefer the Ox Box over it.

Thanks for the feedback! Mine just arrived and I'm going to give it a whirl and put it through its paces.
