Two Notes Reload II, with "Celestion-Approved Load"

[woody]

Two Notes offers way cheaper products like the Cab M+ or OPUS for that already.

To me the Reload II is like a Power Station with wet/dry/wet rig capabilities. If I didn't own a Fryette PS-100 already, I think I would be interested in this just to build a stupid, big home wet/dry/wet rig.

This might be for someone who wants to run e.g a cranked Plexi on stage, and then needs to bring a somewhat heavy extra box to make that happen at sensible volumes. With this setup, they could bring an extra cab to do a wet/dry rig without any additional weight besides the cab.

I get that not having a built-in IR loader means you aren't able to run a cab sim signal to FOH, but at the same time I see the Reload as a long-term proof product when it has no digital component. As cab sims evolve you can plug in better gear to it without having a feature end up as "that old thing".

If you want to record, then you have the software component included for cab sims.

A Captor and 2x100W of Class D power are, like, 400-ish new?
If you don't need the load box, a Bray LO-1 or basically any DI-box with a pad would do.
With a cheap Pedal Board Amp like this and this DI, you're in for the fun for 115 Eurodollars.
The Reload II is a nifty solution, but a thousand bucks?

A Seymour Duncan PowerStage S(tereo) is @$699 and the CaptorX is @$400 and they together still don’t cover everything the Reload II will add.

A HB stereo power amp or 2 of their power amp pedals are gonna be 150 bucks. A Captor (not X) is 200 bucks.

Easiest... Run amp into AxeFx and do the sides (wet) from sims.

Or just get a Boss SDE3k EVH

Since it's really straight forward from the video what this thing does and they fully fleshed out the "mojo" button so well, I'm sure it's going to sell really well, especially at that price point of double everything else.

A capture box? No it doesn't capture. A load box, yeah. A stereo solid state power amp? I think so, but I don't know why. IRs? Not in the box. Hey it's a Reload, it should be great for reamping, right? Well no.

My question for the Reload II:

Actually now that I think of it, it doesn’t actually even have the functionality of the first one, right?

The Duncan PowerStage is very overpriced. For $499 you can get an Avantone CLA 100 and get class AB, Mosfet power that will sound/feel much better than Class D.

Another 350 for a Suhr Reactive Load and you have a better system for less than this unit.
