Reactive Load Box Comparisons

[JiveTurkey]

It’s barely passable with the EVH cab. If I weren’t using an SD-1 to boost the Blue channel, I wouldn’t be able to use it for both a lead and a clean channel. The Red channel is too awesome to not use for rhythms.

But the damn 100 watt heads don’t have MIDI!!!!! WTF DUDE!

No midi SUCKS

Truth!

Doesn’t the React have an odd sound to it when using it with IR’s?

nope, it sounds really good. It actually has a pretty great IR loader built in to it as well although you can run a dry signal into an axe fx if you prefer. It also has digital I/O and headphones and things too

The attenuator isn’t bad either, doesn’t seem to suck too much tone compared to others

I’m fine with a little tone suck on the attenuation side as long as it’ll give me a good DI! I was actually thinking before I dozed off that maybe I’d just grab a cheap attenuator and the Fractal load box because of that thought.

Beau's video's on the features were pretty well done:

Thanks!!

How's it ultimate if out of 4 I have it covers only 1? No Driftwood, no AMT, no Fractal.

did he rate the Torpedo? I have it and it works just fine here. Seems tank like solid, too.

I mainly just want to be able to run amps into my AxeFX for DynaCabs/IR’s and be able to track with it, but also want the attenuator for couch jamming. I should have explained that better in my post.

Not at all; I really like the IRs in it. I have it and the Suhr RL (non-IR) and I enjoy the React:IR and its feature set quite a lot.

That's one very expensive potentiometer-in-a-box

Yes, but it sounds like a Dumble.

I snagged a Reactive Load last night, anxious to finally put these amps through my AxeFX and be able to track them at night time!

Which one did you get?

 

[DrewJD82]

The non-IR one. Don't really feel the need for an attenuator while I can crank the amps and control the volume with the effects loop!

Funny, I did the very same today.
