The Suhr Reactive Load delivers a simple solution to capture all of the warmth, and dynamics of your sound, without the hassle of miking a speaker cabinet during a recording, or a live performance. The Reactive Load takes the place of your speaker cabinet in your signal chain. It provides an 8Ω load for your tube amplifier (maximum 100 watts), and produces a balanced and unbalanced signal that interfaces with recording devices, effects, and power amplifiers. The Suhr Reactive Load is the perfect link between your amplifier and computer audio recording interface. You can use the Reactive Load with your existing library of speaker impulse responses (IR) for the most realistic direct recording experience possible. Traditional resistive load boxes will safely load your amplifier, but they also alter the tone, dynamics, and response of your amplifier. Real speakers do not have a fixed resistance across the entire frequency spectrum. Real speakers are reactive. The impedance curve of the Reactive Load has been painstakingly tuned to react like a speaker. Your amp will never know the difference. The Reactive Load is dedicated to being the absolute best load box possible with zero compromises, and therefore does not include speaker emulation. You can use the Reactive Load with your speaker-sim or impulse response of choice, and benefit from the natural response, dynamics, and touch sensitivity of your amp The Suhr Reactive Load features a balanced or unbalanced line level output. The INPUT is optimized for the 8 ohm output of your amplifier and the THRU jack can be connected to a physical speaker cabinet. If a physical cabinet is connected to the THRU jack, the Reactive Load’s internal load is bypassed and the amp will see the load of the physical cabinet. Video: https://youtu.be/JQ5qqcLI-dI  

The new Reactive Load I.R. builds upon the legacy of what is already widely regarded as the industry standard for accurate speaker cabinet load replacement: the original Suhr Reactive Load. Reactive Load I.R. incorporates exciting new features to the groundbreaking design of the original Reactive Load – making it the ultimate all-in-one solution for speaker cabinet replacement As the name suggests, Reactive Load I.R. adds impulse response technology to the original Reactive Load, allowing you to quickly and easily access an array of an expertly mic’d speaker cabinets. It comes preloaded with 16 Suhr speaker cabinet impulse responses captured by Celestion. Reactive Load I.R. is an open system, so you can load 3rd party impulse responses via the USB port. IN THE STUDIO The Reactive Load I.R. is virtually indistinguishable from a mic’d speaker cabinet which allows you to get professional quality sound in any room. Engineers will love the ability to use both outputs to simultaneously record the dry signal and the I.R. effected signal for maximum flexibility when mixing. PRACTICE Reactive Load I.R. is also the ideal practice tool. The auxiliary input allows you to plug in your smartphone or other audio source and JAM along to your favorite songs through the headphone output, all while using your tube amp. PLAYING LIVE The Reactive Load I.R. eliminates the need to mic your speaker cabinet and gives you the ability to send the FOH engineer a perfectly mic’d guitar sound that is consistent night after night, without mic bleed issues. PRE LOADED WITH AUTHENTIC SUHR CABINETS Included with Reactive Load I.R. are 16 impulse responses of authorized Suhr speaker cabinets created by Celestion. Included are impulse responses from the Suhr Badger, Bella, Hedgehog, PT, and 412 cabinets. For a full list of included impulse responses, please see the user guide. Reactive Load I.R. is an open system, which means you can connect it via USB to a computer and load your favorite third party impulse responses. SILENTLY PRACTICE WITH YOUR TUBE AMP. NO DAW REQUIRED! Connect your tube amp and headphones to the Reactive Load I.R. You’ll hear the I.R. processed signal through the headphones, and if you want to jam along with tracks, no problem. Connect any stereo 1/8″ audio source to the AUX IN connection on the Reactive Load I.R. and you’ll hear the I.R. processed signal along with your backing tracks through the headphones INDUSTRY STANDARD REACTIVE LOAD The original Reactive Load is renowned by many as the standard for speaker cabinet load replacement. The same dynamic, analog accurate, load technology is at the heart of the Reactive Load I.R. The load circuitry has been meticulously designed to preserve the character, nuance of tone and the essential feeling of being connected to a real cabinet. The addition of impulse response technology allows for speaker cabinets and microphones to be sampled, not just simulated, making I.R.s sound virtually indistinguishable from a real cabinet and mic.
