Power Load® IR
Tunable Reactive Load Analog Cab + IR
Record Direct Using Your Favorite Tube Amp:
The Fryette Power Load® IR is an easy to use, tunable reactive load coupled to a powerful Analog Cab + Mic Emulation and IR loader that allows you to silently record your favorite clean and cranked guitar tube amplifier.
Whether you are setting your tweed combo at the sweet spot or doing a full right-hand sweep on your 100-watt head, the Power Load® IR allows you to fine tune the reactive behavior the amplifier response, choose your favorite IR and dial in the response character of the Cab + Mic Emulation for unprecedented control of your direct performance.
Load your own cabs, or use ours:
New for 2022, Power Load IR gets an all-new Digital Cab IR loader complete with memory space for 16 cabs, including 8 of our most popular cabs. You can also load your favorite cabs.
The Power Load IR is the only stand-alone solution that provides two integrated cabinet sim options, Analog (for zero latency and expansive dynamic range) and Digital IR (for realistic room reflections and convolutions). You can use both individually or simultaneously. You can also defeat the cab sim and use an external IR.
Professional-Quality Headphone Amplifier:
A high-quality stereo headphone amplifier with a stereo effects loop allows you to insert delays and reverb pedals into the headphone mix, plus a Program Input that accepts a stereo music source such as a CD or MP3 player or group rehearsal mixer for silent practice.
Perform Live:
For live performance you can place the Power Load IR in between your amp and cabinet, sending the XLR with either or both Cab sims direct to the Front of House PA and Monitor board. No cabs? No Problem! You can crank your favorite amp silently, delivering dynamic consistent tone direct to the console.
Proven Design:
The Power Load® IR offers incredible dynamics, feel and studio-quality performance in a convenient, affordable and lightweight portable package that sits neatly on top of any head or combo amplifier. The analog Cab+Mic Emulation system, provides realistic and responsive mic’d cabinet tones direct to your interface, mixer or headphones.
The Fryette Power Load IR is the most comprehensive total reactive load solution available today.

Sounds so good, damn. "not all of us have a D120" you ain't lying. Some of us have a meager VHT-branded v1 D60 😂
I like my VHT D50
Typical tasty licks that have us weekend warriors shaking our heads. Back to the practice room.
very cool voicings in the song for the second half of the vid
Nice tracks dude
I researched DI boxes and it made my brain hurt with the different features. I really wanted to avoid paying for redundancy. I have the PS-100, so attenuation wasn’t a need. I thought to myself, Fryette would likely try to avoid redundancy with these types of products. That was a huge factor in my deciding I need the Power Load IR. But I do love the special sauce with the tone shaping and just very useful features (the presets, the analog IR).
Already had the small AMT Power Eater, which I unfortunately crashed as I connected it with a too strong amp and then the Torpedo Capture, which was an instant return, as it did cut off every bass and made even a good adjusted tube amp treble sounding like the one of a Chinese practicing amp and did not offer any fine-tuning options.
Then I got the Fryette, what shall I say, simply the best tones, I ever got out of a reactive load box. Also works passive and active equally good. At first glance the onyl 16 slots of the IR section seem to be few, on the other hand the passive and active fine adjustment options work really good, so I usually pre-mix my IR's eg. in Supercabinet (usually a SM57 and R121 mix) and then still am able to fine-tune them in the Fryette, depending on the amp signal.
I mostly use it for recording or for creating ToneX models of my amps and with the Fryette the sounds simply are much better than ever before. Also dynamics are reproduced much better. Of course, direct microphoning an amp in a studio may do an even better job, but I flat your neighbors hardly will tolerate the necessary minimum loudness level, quite apart from the price of onyl a single Royer R121 microphone.
Not the cheapest tool, but you anyway only need it once.
Also the fan works nicely silent. But reading the manual first is essential, as not all controls and connections are really self explanatory. But the right things you easily learn.
I do not need the power amp section of eg. the Power Station, as I already have a wonderful, ultra flexible power amp with even power scaling, but what I needed, was a good load box with switchable impendances (I first had been interested in the Suhr, but this one works with 8 ohms only, while the Fryette can be switched between 2/4, 8 and 16 ohms, which was a big advantage for me) and an as neutral as possible final line level sound.
I first started to use it only in Flat mode, but also the possible passive treble and bass boost options make sense with the right amps, meanwhile I also use them a lot.
Was more expensive than most of my tube amps have been, but definitely worth the results.
With all the features anyway at the moment there hardly is any serious alternative available, so I am happy, that at least this one exists.
Highly recommended!
more excellence!
1 monster guitar player !!
great playing ... but im confused ... the fryette powerload is actually the same like the fryette power station just with IR ?
Folks say "it does not sound like my amp" when modelling and IRs come up. They might be giving us a clue right there. That they have never heard a miked up amp from a studio's control room.
Amp plugins and IR's are not supposed to sound like playing through an amp. They give us the sound of a miked up cab as heard in the control room, which is always really different to being in the room with the amp -- and usually not in a good way due to how a mic only picks up a fraction of what our ears hear. Getting that miked up signal to sound big and realistic again like what our ears hear in the room with the amp is what good engineers spend years learning how to do.
No, I do not mean me. I am just a random guitar player spending the decades trying to get tones I like. It should be my tombstone epitaph when my bucket day arrives. He spent his years chasing good tone (when I should be just playing the guitar I guess -- so I get good enough to go to Guitar Valhalla lol)).
That depends, IR loaders with way longer IR times can definitely capture the room the cab was in to an extent. Whether that’s actually desirable when most DAW’s have decent IR based reverbs in them now is another matter.
It's a tough choice between the Power Station and Power Load IR for playing and especially recording at home. It would be nice to still have some idea of what would come out of the actual guitar speaker and have some live feedback, but then you'd need to get an actual attenuator because the Power Load IR doesn't attenuate. The other option would be to use the Power Station and run its out into a cab loader pedal or plugin. Not sure what the best way to go is as all the options on the market right now have their own benefits and drawbacks, so it's a bit of a puzzle for many of us.
Power Load is for me the preferred option in case you have another tube amp with effects loop. Just connect one of the line outs from the Power Load to the effects return of the tube amp and you will be pretty much there where the Power Station will take you with less hum and no fan noise. I have both here and feel that the Power Station is overrated.
I've just ordered the Fryette Power Load IR and was wondering if I can use it in conjunction with my Fryette PS - 2A (connect the two together) so I have an attenuator and headphone/recording set up?
oh..... but that Aether cab-sim sounds pretty darned far away from "boxy" to me, habibi! yes, even in that great track in which u played it.
So I'm clear .. the cab and speaker choices, were those stock in the IR unit or were those external/additional? Thanks.
hi, we see that you plug the unbalanced jack in the Strymon and go out from the Srymon, you say stereo , in the interface but after you create a mono track in Logic, why mono and not stereo if you use 2 line input from the DIG the interface ? anyway, nice video and I got a power load which is much better than the CaptorX for powerful amps.
Use an Atenutator! You should know that! To crank it and reduce the decibels. Tone King Iron Man, Rivera RockCrusher etc....
It sound like you may be confused on how the PL IR works. It's a reactive load which allows you to crank a tube amp to your hearts content and SILENTLY capture the reactive load (simulates the curve of how a speaker acts). Fryette offers the best attenuator in the industry, the Power Station. This is a different tool for a different purpose.
@@stevelark9840 Now I understand. I received the Fryette PS100, that is still in it's box, a couple of days ago. I. going to plug PS2 100 to the Marshall 100 watt head and get the sonic sound at a manageable level.
Hahaha Jose hilarious - you're telling the company that makes THE best attenuator on the market to use an attenuator from other companies that aren't nearly as good - check out Fryette Power Station 2 :)
@@peterhughes8699 you didn't read SEÑOR. I have a PS2 100. It came in the mail the other day.
Any advice on managing the latency while recording? I like to use the power load IR to practice with my amp, but when its time to record I don't feel that comfy with the monitors return.
Headphones maybe ?
The video didn’t really say anything about the device…
Agree, it didn’t explain the features of the PL-IR or even how one knows what IR is what IR. It’s more like Joe just happens to be using the PL-IR instead of explaining why and how to utilize the functions of the PL-IR. With the title of the video I was expecting more of a tutorial on how to be creative with the device. Perhaps I bought the wrong expectations with me before I chose to play the video. 🤷♂️
Hi guys. It's been a little while since it came out but you're probably looking for this video: th-cam.com/video/qjb8nYF8tM4/w-d-xo.html
