Since the 5150III 50watt head is tube power the logical choice would be the Torpedo Live for the loadbox. However, the 5150III mini has a unique feature in that you can use the preamp out/fx send without a speaker connected.

I could save quite a bit of cash if I use the 5150's preamp in conjunction with the C.A.B's poweramp simulation instead of using the real poweramp with the LIVE. Therefore I must ask myself if using the actual amp's power section is really worth an extra $450 as opposed to just using the preamp out into the C.A.B. and using the C.A.B.'s poweramp sims? Also, I should add this amp would probably never be used in a live setting, only for recording/home use
