I am selling a slightly used Suhr Reactive Load Box (8ohms).  *Please Note that this is the original version & not the newer IR version.  The item is in very good condition with no known issues, and has been rarely used.  Comes in the original box, and original contents.  Box and/or load box may have slight wear, but nothing major. Please see pictures.  Item has been checked and is in good working condition.


It has been kept in my smoke free, climate controlled, home studio, kept in the original box.  


**Ships to USA Only.


Suhr’s Reactive Load Box is a simple and silent solution for any guitarist looking to cut out the cabinet from their recording amplifier rig. This device replaces your amplifier’s speaker load with a rating of 8 ohms and 100 watts, plugging directly into your amp’s output and producing both unbalanced and balanced signals to connect to your audio interface, IR-equipped devices, effects, and more.

The Suhr Reactive Load delivers a simple solution to capture all of the warmth, and dynamics of your sound, without the hassle of miking a speaker cabinet during a live or recorded performance.


The Reactive Load takes the place of your speaker cabinet in your signal chain. It provides an 8Ω load for your tube amplifier (maximum 100 watts), and produces a balanced and unbalanced signal that interfaces with recording devices, effects, and power amplifiers.


The Suhr Reactive Load is the perfect link between your amplifier and computer audio recording interface. You can use the Reactive Load with your existing library of speaker impulse responses (IR) for the most realistic direct recording experience possible. **Please Note you can not load Impulse Responses onto this device. You must either have a Harware IR Loader, or Software IR Loader (within your DAW).


Traditional resistive load boxes will safely load your amplifier, but they also alter the tone, dynamics, and response of your amplifier. Real speakers do not have a fixed resistance across the entire frequency spectrum. Real speakers are reactive.


The impedance curve of the Reactive Load has been painstakingly tuned to react like a speaker. Your amp will never know the difference.


The Reactive Load is dedicated to being the absolute best load box possible with zero compromises, and therefore does not include speaker emulation. You can use the Reactive Load with your speaker-sim or impulse response of choice, and benefit from the natural response, dynamics, and touch sensitivity of your amp.


The Suhr Reactive Load features a balanced or unbalanced line level output. The INPUT is optimized for the 8 ohm output of your amplifier and the THRU jack can be connected to a physical speaker cabinet. If a physical cabinet is connected to the THRU jack, the Reactive Load’s internal load is bypassed and the amp will see the load of the physical cabinet.
