Noises that you may not have been able to hear before (due to the overbearing volume of the speaker cabinet) may become more apparent. Below is a non-exhaustive list of those sounds that may be heard when using an amplifier in tandem with a Load Box for silent recording purposes: Your guitar or bass strings can be heard.

This is measured at 2 points: the Loadbox and Poweramp. When active, Torpedo Reload II will mute itself and disconnect the load box immediately to avoid any possible damage stemming from excessive power dissipation.
  • Page 13 2025/02/19 18:22 13/26 Torpedo Reload II User's Manual Top Tip: You can connect and disconnect either CAB OUT output at anytime without worrying about the impedance/load required by the companion amplifier’s speaker output; Reload II provides the load demanded by your amplifier - as such, mismatching the impedance of your amplifier and cabinet with a Reload II connected between both devices is no-longer a dangerous or (potentially) damaging affair.
