Suhr Reactive Load v Two Notes Torpedo Live

Jonathanthomas83

I know the differences "should" be negligible, but I'm interested to hear thoughts on how they've compared - if anyone has had the opportunity to do an A/B or lucky enough to have tried both. 

I have the SRL and C.A.B. and that combo is the absolute dogs swingers. However, as my needs evolve, I'm thinking that the 2-in-1, 1U approach of the Torpedo Live would be great. 

Pete Thorn swears by the SRL when comparing it to other stuff, including the Live, so he's the only one to have thrown his thoughts into the ring on the matter...be interested in hearing some broader opinions. 

Many thanks

I was interested in buying the Torpedo Live, but a pro friend of mine recommended waiting for the forthcoming Fractal Audio (Axe FX manufacturer) product which is apparently on the way.

@Gadget this is topical as I'm eyeing up the Fractal stuff, do you have any further details? Is it a new axe fx or is it along the lines of a load box/IR loader?

AFAIK it's going to be a standalone product called the LB-1P, featuring a reactive load and cab sims like those in the Axe FX.

Ah ok cool. Sounds good but I was kind of hoping for a new Axe FX. From what I've read, the DSP chips are being discontinued, so it could be a long wait!
