Right, So I've had enough of the Kemper, Its a great unit obviously, I just dont have the patience and I love amps!
I'm thinking about getting something like the Two Notes units to record at home. Taking the signal from the head, then using IR's for the cabs. I went to a Pete Thorn Demo where he was using the Suhr Reactive Load box yesterday and it all sounded awesome and seemed easy.
I was pretty set on just getting one of those, but looking at the Two Notes ones, they kinda do a similar thing, yet work as an attenuator between head and cab as well, which would be super useful as I've just bought a Matchless which is nearly too loud to use live! Having the option of some attenuation would make it well worth the expense.
Anyone use these? If so how well do they work as both a load box for recording, and an attenuator for live?

Sorry, I can't help on your question but I must say, that Suhr Reactive Load Box and the Suhr ACE really were a stellar combination and both would come in for around £700
I'd be interested to see what you settle on, especially if it does the job well and comes in at a lower price than the above and Two Notes stuff.
They did sound great together, you're right. I also thought the Celestion IR's sounded awesome too, which might be a cheaper option than the Ace (at least to start with).
I'm currently looking at the Two Notes Captor at the moment, which is £199 - LINK
Seems to do a similar thing to the Suhr one, but comes with a bunch of IR's for recording, and also has some you can load / are build into the unit (for live) and then will also be a -20db attenuator for the amp. Which sounds like it ticks all the boxes!
Do you or @hubobulous remember what it was that featured his modelled Suhr PT100 amp? Was it within Logic?
Good luck with your quest

This was a quick test recording I did with some generic playing through my Mini Jubilee, I think this was with the free Redwirez greenback IRs (line out from the captor with no cab sim from that) - https://www.dropbox.com/s/2fem93ifo9w934i/2525.mp3?dl=0
The Suhr one that Pete Thorn was using sounded awesome, and if It worked as a bit of an attenuator too I'd have been all over it!
Anyone selling a captor? haha
