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

Sweet or dill?

Just so you know… the wrong answer will immediately result in spontaneous self-combustion.

HA! Well on the pickle front, any pickle is good for me. Fun fact, outside of studio work and guitar, I am an avid pickler - if its pickle-able, I've pickled it!
 
Just so we’re clear, this is what the speaker impedance curve should look like :rofl

Hell I'm still climbing it. :rofl

BTW just a note - I found the Captor when it came out to be life-changing. It was truly a great device when it released in a wonderful form factor and at a great price. If you guys ever release a Captor X type of device with 2 improvements I'd be the first to buy it and sing your praises. 1) A more accurate impedance curve, or if possible a dynamic one we can sculpt ourselves, and / or 2) the ability to use the IR functions of the device without having to have an account and log in to an app to do so. I don't always need the full functionality of Wall of Sound, sometimes I just want to load Petrucci's cabinet in an IR slot and go, you know?

Hey @Desertdweller

Thanks for getting back to me. So pleased to hear you are enjoying Captor! Similarly, thanks for the great feedback here! Consider it sent to our team! With the Captor X, providing you log into the device just once and set some things up, you could create a preset (or 6) and map these to the rotary encoder (simply by putting these on preset slots 1-6) and then you are set with no more logging in and immediate hardware access to your 6 go-to tones! Let me know if this helps! :)

I get that and I appreciate your response. I was just more suggesting something like the drag-and-drop system you’ve implemented with the Mesa variant of your devices. My Mark VII has folders I can just drop IRs into via USB. Now it doesn’t have your software to mix IRs and all the other cool bells and whistles like EQ, saturation, and reverb you have in the WOS plugin, but I kinda like it as an alternative just to make it easier.

Thanks for getting back to me. If you are referring to the Cab Clones, these are basically static IR Loaders powered by our technology - loading static IRs in Torpedo Remote is pretty straight forward and with my suggestion, you can simply create some presets, set them to positions 1-6 and you are set! I do this all the time, especially for live use where I am jumping between sets; the only time I will change up the slots is if I get my hands on a new DynIR that complements my amp well. Let me know if this helps!
 
Hi Guys, Hope you're all good!

Just thought I would jump in to say we have released our Reload II Feature Run-Down video here...



If you have any questions let me know - always happy to weigh in and help! In addition, those of you that have been requesting the ICs will be happy to hear that we will be releasing these on Thursday this week and I will make a note to upload them here.

PS. If you ever wondered what I look/sound like, behold! :D
 
Hi Everyone,

Following on from my last post, since launching Reload II we have been asked a lot of questions concerning the new––and improved––Celestion Approved Load Response, including multiple requests for the impedance curves for our latest flagship attenuator / amplifier. In developing Reload II's all-new reactive load we were conscious not to match to a specific speaker (due to variations rooted in the accompanying enclosure size) but to a range of drivers, averaging the impedance for optimum performance across the breadth of amplifiers on the market. The diagrams below illustrate the impedance curves of Reload II's reactive load when set at 4-, 8- or 16-Ohms operation.

If you have any questions concerning this, please do not hesitate to let me know - I am always happy to dive in and help!

Thank you! This is the main thing we all wanted to see 🙂
