Hi Guys,
I've done a recent resistive loadbox to take along with my 12W 6v6 amp (a Supro clone) for a while. I simply cannot carry and use a real cab.
This one that I did uses a 25W 8 Ohm resistor and has a circuit for a line output and treble bleed... I take the signal from this "hot" box and do some cabin simulation with IR's on the computer. I've done the following with my 98 MIA Blues Jr. and 76 Deluxe (no pedals; the master at the amp is 12 all the way up, volume is like 6, bass/mids/treble are all maxed). The cab sim, comp etc. are done via the soundcard on the computer. The cab sim is LeCab2 and RedWirez' Marshall 1960 cab with v30's; TDR comp and eq; Classic plugins' reverb and delay.
Here is the layout of the beast:
I think it is quite a usable box. It is resistive... the next step is to have 2 inductors and do a Aiken type of reactive load... But this should do for this summer.
Best,
B
