Both Rivera and Fryette released new toys the past couple of weeks.....

Both are pretty awesome looking with a good amount of features. The Fryette Power Load though seems to have a lot more going on!

Power load looks cool

Load boxes don't usually have fans.

We have been through this before... IR's are fun and sound fantastic and you can barely tell the difference when you record, mix , and listen back..... BUT when you HEAR the difference back to back you invariably will go with the real cab.

Personally, load boxes are cool and all but I say if I am gonna spend over 500$ for one of these, it better have the attenuation feature built in as well because i like to crank the amp. As for emulation, have you ever really found one to date that sounds as good as a cab or IR? No chance, they all make you sound like the first Boston record which is cool for Boston and fit their music, but clearly direct and fizzy sounding and not my cup of tea for anything else and definitely do not sound like a 4x12.

Both look great. Can't wait for Pete Thorn to do a demo of each.

We've been thru this before. YOU can't tell the difference. You just don't know how to dial one in.
I can make a recording with a mic on a speaker and a Torpedo live and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Bring it on! Let me guess which is which and I shall deliver! "dialing one in" is not rockey science... load box, line out, cab IR. If I have to spend 800$ just to get the right load I am not interested.. I have almost saved enough to buy a royer mic. Think about it.

$800? Where is that number from?

 

[Faded Abyss]

My torpedo reload was $800 but it has an attenuator, reamp, di, and loadbox output. Having some noise issues with the loadbox output though :/

Who cares? It won't ship for at least two years...
