Two notes Audio Engineering, a leading innovator in load boxes, attenuators, and digital cabinet emulators, has announced the Torpedo Reload II, the latest iteration in its renowned reactive load solution line. The Reload II promises to redefine backline control with its advanced features and enhanced capabilities.
Torpedo Reload II
Boasting twin-channel operation, selectable multi-impedance compatibility, and true continuous attenuation, the Reload II is Two notes’ most sophisticated load box to date.
Designed to maximize the potential of any amplifier or line-level source, the device features a redesigned reactive load, now with a Celestion Approved Load Response, capable of handling amplifiers up to 200W RMS.
GENOME Reload II Edition
This ensures sonic integrity is maintained throughout performance, from quiet practice to full-volume stage presence. The Reload II also includes a dual-mono 215W (per channel) amplifier/attenuator and paired speaker outputs. A Stereo FX Loop, dual Line outputs, and GENOME Reload II Edition software further enhance the device’s versatility.
Celestion Approved Load Response
A key innovation is the “Celestion Approved Load Response,” achieved through a ground-up redesign of Two notes’ load. This, combined with switchable multi-impedance (4, 8, and 16Ω), allows users to optimize any amplifier connection.
The Reload II is designed to accommodate a wide range of setups, from modelers and fly-rigs to amplifiers and amp sims. Dual inputs (Amp and Line) and independent source selection per channel provide flexibility for various applications.
The Reload II’s twin-channel continuous attenuator, powered by an integrated amplifier, allows users to achieve the desired power stage saturation and dynamic response of a pushed tube amp while maintaining control over the speaker output. Its 215W per cab output empowers even smaller rigs for larger venues.
Routing
For advanced effects integration, the Reload II offers a footswitchable Stereo FX Loop with Series/Parallel routing, Return Dry/Wet Mix controls, and Dual Mono/A->B Link Modes.
Additional features include XLR Line Outputs, front panel controls for input level, cabinet volume, source selection, and line output level, dedicated Depth & Presence controls, integrated MOJO controls, and optimized gain staging.
GENOME Reload II Edition
The Reload II also includes GENOME Reload II Edition software and a GENOME-Ready Series-R DynIR cabinet collection featuring 24 virtual cabinets from Celestion and Two notes. The device has wood side panels for Topbox configuration and is rack-mountable (2U) with included rack ears. An extended 3-year warranty is available upon registration.
“Reload II is not just an update; it’s a complete reimagining of our reactive load technology,” said Guillaume Pille, Two notes CEO. “The Celestion Approved Load Response, combined with its versatility and powerful features, makes it the best-in-class impedance match on the market. From studio recording to live performance, Reload II provides everything needed to reshape your backline.”
MSRP is $999.99 (US), 999.99€ (Euro), and £849.99 (GBP).
