Recording cranked amps at Home
Here's something about recording loud tube amps through a Suhr Reactive Load at home. UAD Plugins, Two Notes WoS and outboard rack gear (Eventide/Lexicon) get a look in too. Plenty of sound clips!

Yep. But it's called 'Torpedo remote' for the Captor. Essentially the same but can be used on your phone or tablet for tweaking at gigs.
I've pretty much been through all IRs out there and Two Notes new DynIR's are the best there is imo.

Yup I agree, those Friedman cabs are the bomb. Also picked up some nice 1x10, 4x10 and vox 2x12 cabs from the store. Do you have any particular favourites?

Re: Recording cranked amps at Home
I also have the Friedman Vint. It's awesome! The problem is ALL the cabs sound so good it's hard to decide. Just the other night I had to re-record a couple of parts for my bands single before my bandmate could mix it, the original riffs were recorded with a 57 on a UK made V30. I had to tone match. So I pulled up an Engl cab with V30s and a couple of virtual 57's and managed to get it pretty much exactly the same.

Cool video Warren! My AC10 at a third volume is too much for my family

A friend of mine is interested in doing the same, will let you know how he gets on...

I just tend to "work from home" a lot so I can crank my ampsblackstratblues wrote: ↑Sat Jun 04, 2022 9:27 pmWhich is why a reactive load solution may be worth investigating

Please do. I have seen copies that have been made and apparently they work just as well.blackstratblues wrote: ↑Sat Jun 04, 2022 9:26 pmA friend of mine is interested in doing the same, will let you know how he gets on...

Re: Recording cranked amps at Home
Most of these don't function as an attenuator as well, right? That's basically just Ox Box and PS2?

Re: Recording cranked amps at Home
Yup but the OX’s attenuation is poo, and some of the Two Notes Captors have fixed attenuation.
I’ve had good luck running the Suhr load into an old Marshall Valvestate 8008 and using that to drive cabs at low volume.
