You disappoint me with your straightforwardness and brevity.
Don't I at least get a proper English cuss word or something obscene in there?

Yeah but cab clone is a reactive load right??

I care about USB type, because I’d prefer not to have to have adapters for shit. USB-C has been out for ten years already.Still not something I care about.
How can a load be not good? Genuine question, I'm a simpleton in these areas.
I'd much rather have it in the amp.
And nothing personal, I enjoy our back-and-forths.
Loads aren’t created equally. The closer to mirroring an actual speaker load, like the Suhr, the better. The Two Notes stuff isn’t anything like a real speaker cab.
This technology moves too quickly to have it stuck in an amp that you plan keeping awhile.

Curious about the Suhr, but two notes is fine imo
Wish I could try before buying. The more expensive get into using fake/sim stuff the more I find myself wondering why I’m bothering. Money pit, doesn’t sound better or even as good, and it sure as fuck isn’t any easier
I actually use the -20b attenuator function more than the load itself these days though. No attenuation on the Suhr

And look, I know it’s just my opinion, but having owned the original Cabclone (resistive), the CabClone IR, the Rock Crusher, the Suhr RL, and the Captor X (twice), I just do not like anything but the Suhr. The rest of it’s “why bother, it doesn’t sound or feel better than a modeler”.
The Fractal literally sounds and feels better than a tube amp into a Captor or Cabclone IR, IMO.

I wouldn't mind trying the Fractal X-Load at some point. If they ever make one with DynaCabs built in, it's a day 1 purchase for me.

For sure. I’ve not tried one, but a lot of people say it’s close to the Suhr.

Doug West and Danny Carey are the same person prove me wrong. We’ve never seen them in the same place at the same time, just sayin’.
No I didn't. To be honest it doesn't sound like something many people would want? Especially from an amp-company..
No I don't think so. I've not seen anyone mention what's coming.
I'm confused.

Converting this to a Mark VII, move that 750 Hz slider up above the bottom line and pull the presence way way down and you'll have a similar sound. The presence knob on the VII works like the presence on the older Marks or the JP2C once you pull presence knob on that amp.Hit it with a SD-1 and it will rip your face off.
