Reactive Load Box 2023 Deathmatch

[Chronic Narnia]

Should be Warm and Edge (middle for the lows, up for highs). In other tests that curve got closest for me to real cabs curves so I just tend to leave it there

Yes, my mistake I meant warm+edge.

I’d like to see the Fractal and Captor X as well to round out the comparison

Thanks for taking the time to do all this and for sharing your thoughts/conclusions!

Like a lot of others here I like the Suhr and ReactIR the most. I'm tempted to pick up a Suhr, but I wonder if they'll be releasing an updated version of their Reactive Load IR after all these years.

I'm still curious about the RedSeven Amp Central but I may just have to go with the Suhr. I want to see if its any better than my Fryette Power Load IR.

I'm curious about that one as well especially since it has a stereo FX loop.

Cabs rule, if you can use a real cab then tapping a DI and using IR's is ideal

based on this... wondering if you could connect a cab to the output of the St Rock, and then use the attenuator to reduce or kill the volume out of the cab (so you can still silent record). ?

Using the cab as the load instead of the St Rock IR, but still using the St Rock DI into your DAW

I think if you use the attenuator mode, the React IR is presenting its own load to the amp, and some of the signal that would otherwise be driving the fan/being turned to heat is going to the cab (depending on where the volume is set).

This was my thought as a way around it to get an accurate load…
