Disclaimer: Loadboxes like this one can be run in passive mode and require no power since they draw from the amplifier speaker output to power the circuit and the fan for cooling. It's normal for the Loadbox to make weird sounds and noises while in operation. That's the signal coming from the amplifier and going through the circuit and coil and the fan working. If you stop playing the noise stops.

The X-Load LB-2 Load Box represents the pinnacle of load and reactive speaker emulation technology for live use or recording. It allows you to run a traditional tube amplifier safely without connecting a speaker cabinet, providing an 8 ohm load (100W maximum) while delivering a balanced or unbalanced line-level output.

Unlike conventional load boxes and attenuators, the LB-2 employs Fractal Audio’s Dynamic Impedance technology to deliver unmatched realism and feel. Record your amplifier in its sweet spot without excessive volume, or achieve consistent tone without the need for microphones or speaker cabinets.

The LB-2 also includes a Speaker Thru jack, allowing you to connect a real speaker cabinet while simultaneously sending a line-level signal to a recorder, mixer, or speaker simulator.

The Voicing switch shifts the load’s resonance. The UK position emulates the response of a typical British-style guitar speaker, while the US position captures the lower resonance typical of American speakers.

Rock on!
