Hey guys!
So, I've been thinking about buying a Mesa JP2C head to use with the Axe Fx (a II XL+ in my case) and, while I have my trusty old Weber Mass 150 load box, I was wondering which load box is the cleanest/most transparent. I'm looking for recommendations. Oh, I should point out that I'm not necessarily looking for a load box that can host/run cab IR's - it it does, then that's just a bonus.
The way I want to run my signal chain:
Guitar into Axe Fx > Mesa JP2C running in 4CM mode with Axe Fx BUT, with the output from the Mesa coming from a load box so as to keep the Mesa's on-board EQ in the signal chain to the Axe Fx > Output of Axe Fx into either a Mesa 2:90 power amp or, maybe a VHT Two/Fifty/Two power (not sure which one yet).
The reason I want to do the signal chain like this is
Thanks for the load box recommendations in advance,
Cheers!

The reason I want to do the signal chain like this is
- I want the entire sound of the JP2C hitting the Axe Fx and in order to do that, you gotta use a load box because the FX loop of the Boogie is pre-graphic eq.
- I want to be able to flip between the JP2C "preamp" and Axe Fx preamp models.
- I want to be able to use the Axe Fx for cab IR's for the JP2C when needed.
- Because I refuse to play in mono.
