Cab simulator for live rig?

The Suhr is $800 brand new and sells for almost that much used here. The Two notes Captor x is $800 brand new but seems to go for around $400-$500 used. May be a better option for the time being.

Yeah I got my Suhr for $550 used, pricey but I get a lot of use out of it so I figured it was worth it. You could always just grab a standalone load box without the sim built in and run it into a TC impulse, there are some used original Suhr Reactives up on reverb around $300 I think.

Thanks everyone. I'd like to keep the live guitar sound on the stage. My thinking is splitting the signal with a Lehle P-split right at the effects return input and from there, a cable goes to the return and cable goes to the input of the IR/Speaker simulator and then to front of house.

Thoughts?

If you are still having a guitar cab on stage, the Cab M or BluBox will go between the amp and cab, no need to split the signal. Then take signal from the box to the PA. You don’t a load box as long as you have the cab.

Yep. Way better to get the signal after the power amp.

The speaker connections on those devices are in parallel, so you can also just run one speaker out from your amp to a cabinet, then run the other speaker out to the Cab M / Blubox.

So with the cab M I just use the amp in and speaker out as a pass through regardless of the OHMS Setting on the amp and that takes the amp signal through the Poweramp out to FOH via XLR?

That’s right- it doesn’t affect the load your amp sees from the cabinet.
