Fractal Audio just dropped a Reactive LOAD BOX

Don’t really understand how this fits their portfolio. The Axe doesn’t need this at all as it doesn’t t need to go through an power amp. What is the use case in their ecosystem? Or is it just unrelated?

Eh, doesn't offer anything others in the market don't.

Not sure how many other load boxes allow you to change the impedance curve reaction depending on the style of your amp. So that may be something it does that others don't offer. I do know most don't offer that.

I think it fits pretty well. I use a Suhr Reactive Load today and then feed that output into my AxeFx for Cab sims and effects. So many creative routing combinations, reamping and recording can be done.

My own personal take, I think their cab sims is a decent market they didn't want to lose by having other companies create Reactive Loads that lead into addon products that would compete directly with the Axe lineup. I think a Reacive Load integrated into a Kemper or Line 6 or AxeFx would be incredible.

Interesting. Didn’t know people are using the axe that way. Always thought the amp sims are why the axe is used 90% of the time. Good to know
