WTB: Load box with headphone out for £150 or less

colourofsound

I'd like a loadbox that isn't ridiculously expensive - they seem to vary in price wildly so not sure whats best.

Features wise, headphone out is a must, DI in very close second and speaker emulation third.

I have a Celestion G12-65 16ohm for trades; its from the early 90's.

Fairly sure there will be no interest but I have a 12" Fender Eminence from a HRD - thats £30inc P&P for anyone who wants a spare.

Thanks for this - i'll certainly check that out. Have you any experience of this? It has to be said I was hoping for an attentuation feature too, but I may be asking a lot for the budget.

Is that a reactive or resistive load box?  No mention of different speaker impedances either.

Cheers.

I have one... I use it with a 20w ceriatone ots mini... I have a kleinulator that I use as an attenuator of sorts.. As to whether it's resistive or reactive I don't have a clue. Send Dennis an email he usually gets back within 48hrs. IIRC it's 8ohm

Cheers.  As it happens I did email Dennis and Emerson Williams asking the question - Emerson Williams said it's a bit of both, so I suspect it's and inductor in series with a load (like Palmer do it) and it's 8 ohms only.

Dennis worked with Emerson Williams on the version they have... the one you can get direct from Dennis is the upgraded version with double the power handling ability. If I remember correctly the Emerson Williams one is cheaper. I bought one from Dennis and have no complaints... it's a very useful bit of kit.

Yeah, it's quite clearly an upgraded version.  Not being 16 ohms is a deal breaker for me though.
