Comparing 5 reactive loads

[EOengineer]

I use the OG Captor to capture DIs of my amps all the time but it’s always used with a real cab connected. Not an option for everyone but I find to get the best results I need to use a real speaker load that matches the IR I’m planning to use.

I keep meaning to grab the Suhr but it’s not perfect either.

Fractal's X-Load could have been perfect if they tuned the resonance frequemcy and its Q better.
To get it up to spec I had to mod it with quite expensive parts.

Excellent video, Jon!

Nice video, Jon.

I did notice you left out a couple of excellent and more popular loadboxes: the Suhr Reactive Load and the Fryette PS-2.

Here’s a comparison of the two, which is admittedly not as hi-fi as Jon’s video, but should serve as a good indicator.
