Use Axe-Fx like Torpedo?

[DarrenD]

I have been interested in that new cab emulator from Two Note called the Torpedo, and was wondering if it would be possible for me to just use my Axe Ultra or II the same way with my Tube Amps? I was thinking I could just purchase the JDX from Radial for the Load & Line Out to the Fractal running cabs only direct? If so, that would be way cool! I'd much rather spend $200 than $2000 and get yet another amazing use from my Fractal Gear!

Thanks,

As far as I know (and according to their FAQ), the JDX is not a load box- it is a line out box.

You would still need a speaker or load of some sort.

I use the slave out of my Mesa Mark V into the Axe FX cabs whenever I use the mesa. Get yourself a load box, and then you'd be 100% good to use any impulses you have on your axe or computer!

if you can get a loadbox between amp and axe fx is should be no problem ^^

hmmmmm.... sounds like a plan!! Can anybody recommend some good worthy load boxes? Im thinking of buying a tube amp in the near future to go with the AXE2

before buying a tube amp try the axe with a poweramp on a real cab and u might want to cancel your plan buying a tube amp

Palmer 03 (or 04 but that has speaker sim) its a rack mount

I'd wait for the badcat unleash and then have an inexpensive reactive load that also has multiple other uses.

Anybody here use the Badcat Unleash in this form yet? Im thinking of getting one to use as a load box and as a power amp to power a cab.

Aracom Attenuator! It works well as a dummy load also . I tried them all and this one is the best one !

Faustine Phantom.
Sequis Motherload.

I have a Faustine Phantom. Doesn't change the tone as much as the others I've tried. Hard to find though.

Rivera Rockcrusher is good as well

I actually have a design for a load box that emulates the "lossy inductance" of a voice coil but never got around to building it. Most load boxes using a simple shelving filter approximation.

Do i need a loadbox for my AXII?

The guy from Aracom built a dummy load with switchable inductance. It's prototype it a 4 way dummy load so I can use 4 amps and switch between them. It sounds incredible, much better than the Palmer, Groove Tube speaker simulator and 2 Metaltronix and I owned all of them. With the inductance switched on, it sounds much better.

i used at one point my old elevenrack as a speaker simulator for my triaxis and quad preamp- i'm sure the axe would work the same and do it 10000x better
