I also bought the one with the bult in IRs.....I did think that I might need the 200ms or more wav files compared to the 20 ms of the built in IR....BUT the fact that my Amp goes straight into the Suhr with IR and then straight into my DAW...A WINNER !!Both sound better than the Two-Notes Reload that I've used in the past. I have the Suhr one, but the one with built in IR loading. It's really good tbh!
You are very welcome and glad to hear you like the Suhr RL.....both great ones for sure but my preference goes also to the Suhr....small details of course for some peoples ears and huge to others as long as we are happy playing the GuitarThanks for putting this together! I was always curious about this comparison. I already have one Suhr RL, and I was needing a second 8ohm load box. I was surprised with how much I preferred the Suhr over the Fractal in this comparison.
If we could somehow put Suhr's load into the Mesa (and that's not a dirty line at all) Powerhouse attenuator, that would have the perfect reactive load box solution. The Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander has an impressive feature set, but I still preferred the tone from the Suhr. I still own the TAE but I am looking at "downgrading" for another Suhr.
I know what you mean man ! Somehow the Suhr FEELS & REACTS very good under the fingers....., thanks man !I own the X-Load, and the Suhr wins hands down no matter if the X-Load is in US or UK. The Suhr has the low-mid thump I've been chasing that the Axe-FX just can't do correctly, and my Dual Rectifier is still missing some aggressive "umph" that helps a rhythm track mate with bass in a mix.
If you could only choose one, would you keep the LB-2 or the RedSeven strictly from a reactive load perspective?Thanks for sharing! I do hear differences but not enough for me to pick one or the other. I own the X-Load and love it, and I also own the RedSeven Amp Central which has some cool features like headphone out, stereo FX loop, etc.
Well, I'll be honest, I use the LB-2 more because I don't have to plug it to power. As long as you don't use XLR out, you don't need power. For some reason, the RedSeven is noisier, and I know it's a power thing. Also, I've spent so much bread on IR's that I like, that I'm okay with using them in the Axe FX III as a Cab block onlyIf you could only choose one, would you keep the LB-2 or the RedSeven strictly from a reactive load perspective?
Yeah, I'm looking at this purely from the load portion. I would always use the Axe FX as the brains for the signal chain, effects, cabs, etc. Basically a hybrid rig.Well, I'll be honest, I use the LB-2 more because I don't have to plug it to power.
