Suhr Reactive Load I.R. Box Black

The Suhr Reactive Load I.R. box pedal builds on the success of Suhr's original Reactive Load, providing an all-in-one solution for direct recording or playing live without a speaker cabinet. As a reactive load box, it accurately emulates the impedance of your tube amp's speaker for a realistic feel and natural tube overdrive. It also packs an impulse response module with 16 professionally captured IRs of Celestion speakers so you can instantly replicate an array of classic cabinets. Whether recording direct for more control in the studio or sending a perfectly mic'd guitar sound to the front-of-house live, the Reactive Load I.R. delivers the tones you crave.

Plug your tube amp into the Reactive Load I.R. and connect it direct to your recording interface or mixer for full control over your guitar sound. Its impedance emulation and impulse responses provide a signal indistinguishable from a mic'd cabinet, giving you a professionally captured starting point to build upon. You'll love the flexibility of recording the dry signal along with the IR effected signal, providing options for reamping or tweaking the tone during mixing. For direct recording, the Reactive Load I.R. ensures an authentic tube amp experience where you need it most.

Send a Perfect Mic'd Tone Live

When playing live, the Reactive Load I.R. lets you eliminate inconsistent mic'ing by sending the front-of-house engineer a professionally captured guitar tone.

The Reactive Load I.R. also reduces stage volume, eliminating unwanted mic bleed that often plagues live guitar tones. With its highly accurate reactive load and impulse responses, your live guitar sound stays consistent and balanced in any room.
