Crank your tube amp to its sweet spot with this new load box and attenuator.
The Two Notes Audio Engineering Reload II multi-impedance reactive load box and active attenuator is not just an ordinary load box and attenuator; it's a portal to a world of sonic possibilities. This premium all-analog reactive load box allows you to crank your tube amp to its sweet spot, capturing its full dynamic range and harmonic richness, even at whisper-quiet volumes. With its twin-channel operation, selectable multi-impedance compatibility, and continuous active attenuation, the Reload II is the ultimate tool for harnessing the power of your amplifier in any situation, from studio recording to live performance.
Celestion-Approved Load Response
At the heart of the Reload II lies an all-new reactive load, meticulously engineered to provide a Celestion-approved load response. This groundbreaking design ensures that your amplifier's power stage interacts with the load box just as it would with a real speaker cabinet, preserving the feel, response, and tonal integrity of your amp. Whether you're using a vintage tube amp or a modern high-gain monster, the Reload II's reactive load ensures that you're getting the most out of your amplifier.
Twin-Channel Versatility
The Reload II's twin-channel design offers unparalleled flexibility. Connect two different amplifiers or line-level sources simultaneously, each with its own dedicated source selection, attenuation, and cabinet simulation. This opens up a world of creative possibilities, allowing you to blend different amp tones, create complex layered soundscapes, or seamlessly switch between different setups during a performance.
Continuous Active Attenuation
The Reload II's continuous active attenuation lets you precisely control the output level of your amplifier without sacrificing tone or feel. Whether you need total silence for late-night recording sessions or stage-ready volume for live performances, the Reload II delivers. The integrated studio-grade power amplifier ensures that your attenuated signal remains clear, dynamic, and full of life, even at the lowest volumes.
Stereo/Dual Mono Operation
Embrace the power of stereo or dual mono operation with the Reload II. Its two independent cabinet outputs and XLR line outputs allow you to create expansive soundscapes, experiment with stereo effects, or send separate signals to your audio interface and front-of-house. The footswitchable stereo effects loop further enhances the Reload II's versatility, providing seamless integration for your favorite pedals and effects units.
GENOME Reload II Edition Included
The Reload II comes bundled with GENOME Reload II Edition, a powerful software ecosystem for cabinet simulation, amp profiling, and more. Explore a vast library of virtual cabinets, experiment with different microphone placements, and fine-tune your tone with precision. The included Series-R DynIR cabinet collection features 24 premier virtual cabinets from Celestion and Two notes Audio Engineering, providing a starting point for your sonic explorations.
Built for the Modern Musician
The Reload II reactive load box and active attenuator is designed to seamlessly integrate into any studio or live setup. Its compact and rugged design features genuine wood side panels for topbox configuration, and it can be rack-mounted using the included rack ears. The Reload II is not just a tool; it's an extension of your creativity, empowering you to explore new sonic territories and unleash the full potential of your amplifier.
