The Fryette Power Load IR is a seriously useful tool for amp tone perfectionists. It lets you dial in your amp’s sound without blaring your neighbors, with surprisingly good cab simulations and the option to load your own impulse responses. This is perfect for studio recording and gigging musicians who want a versatile, all-in-one solution for their tube amp.
Product Description
- Fryette Power Load IR
- Load Box
- Variable reactive load box connected to an analog Zero Latency Cab and microphone simulation and a digital IR loader
- Allows silent recording of a tube amplifier
- Analog emulation and IR loader can be used individually or simultaneously
- Cab simulation can be deactivated to use an external impulse response (IR)
- 16 Pre-installed Cab-Sims
- which can be modified via the supplied GUI
- Additional Cab-Sims can be installed via the USB port on the front
- Placed between amp (max. 200W) and box
- the signal can be sent directly to the mixer with one or both Cab simulations
- High quality headphone amplifier
- Amp In with selectable input impedance (4
- 8 or 16 ohms)
- AUX input with -20dB pad: 6.3 mm jack
- Transformer-isolated direct output: XLR and 6.3 mm jack
- Output with cab and microphone simulation: XLR and 6.3 mm jack
- Headphone connection: 6.3 mm jack
- Dimensions: (W x D x H): 222 x 156 x 70 mm
- Weight: 3.6 kg
PROS
- • Fryette’s reactive load accurately emulates speaker interaction for authentic tube tone
- • Cab simulations offer a surprisingly realistic alternative to mic’d cabs
- • Flexible impedance switching caters to a wide range of amp heads
- • Integrated headphone amp provides private practice with amp modeling
CONS
- • The GUI software, while functional, could benefit from a more modern interface design
- • 200W power rating limits use with very high-wattage amplifiers
- • Size and weight make it less portable than some competing attenuator solutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Reactive loads more accurately replicate the speaker's effect on the amplifier’s power section, providing a more responsive and dynamic tone than a simple resistive load.
No, the Power Load IR is designed for *analog* tube amplifiers only; it won’t work with digital amp modelers.
The Power Load IR supports standard .wav or .irs files for custom impulse responses, offering significant flexibility in cab simulation.
