Any of you guys have intermittent noise issues with Torpedo load boxes or Reload? I run out through amp through CAB M and into Reload set to load. Depending on the day, my amp tones squishes out or squeals. Total mess. I'm running my amps at about 7 on the MV so not exactly red lining everything. Running off a Furman power conditioner. Some days, no issue. Other days, total mess. I know they say move it away from amp or other etc.. how do you guys set yours up distance wise? I am guessing the key is keeping the load away from the guitars but they also suggest keeping it away from the amp too. That sort of puts it in no man's land. If there is a downside to load boxes and IR's, I'd say this would be it. Or maybe non Torpedo products don't do this? What are your experiences? I might go back to my idea of building a closet into a treated cab/mic space. It also makes me wonder how guys like Steve Stevens are using these on tour, racked right behind the amps. Maybe the pedalboard is causing issues? I know my wah squeals like a banshee when i play through my IR's.
 
I just got a new Captor X to use with my 20th XTC, which is also new. Will try it out and report back. I'll set it up on top of the amp to start and see how much noise or interference there is.
 
What are the input levels like on the CAB-M?

I tend to run mine after my loadbox.
 
Need to check that tonight when I play but not crazy as it sounds like ass if too high when you listen. I run mine in between to lessen the effect of the load on the tone. I swear there is a difference.
 
PLayed a few minutes ago, it wasn't squealing today. -17db on the preset i have loaded. My CAB M sits on top of my Reload though. Who knows what happens when maybe something else is turned on as well. It's all part of my small man cave/ studio in the basement

Well I mean.. you've got a fan in the Reload sitting right below whatever's going on in the CAB-m.

Interference isn't out of the question

when there are transformers and pickups close to each other, the magnetic fields are going to interact. Fryette did some videos about this, and my load boxes squeal too if I cram stuff close together.

Might have to move the cab M to the floor . Hard to figure out best place as I also have a console and I've yet to see how that will effect things if I set it on top of it. Maybe a stand alone unit everything in one has its advantages after all. The Reload attenuating anywhere near my amps sounds horrendous too. Always such a battle with Interference.
