The Suhr Reactive Load offers a straightforward way to capture the full warmth and dynamics of your amplifier without the hassle of mic’ing up a speaker cabinet.

Acting as a direct replacement for your cab, it provides an 8Ω load for tube amps up to 100 watts, while delivering both balanced and unbalanced outputs that connect easily to recording devices, effects, or power amplifiers.

Perfect as the bridge between your amp and audio interface, the Reactive Load lets you use your favorite library of impulse responses for the most natural and realistic direct recording experience possible. It faithfully preserves the character, dynamics, and touch sensitivity of your amplifier in a simple, reliable unit.

Unlike many other load boxes, the Suhr Reactive Load is designed with one uncompromising goal: to be the best load possible. That’s why it doesn’t include built-in speaker emulation, leaving you free to pair it with the speaker-sim or IR of your choice for complete control over your tone.
